Navy Blue Tulle with Gold Heart Print and Sheer Long Sleeves • Ages 2 to 7 Years • Parties, Family Gatherings and Festive Occasions
A Little Girls Party Dress That Twirls as Well as It Photographs
Little girls party dresses can be a minefield. Too stiff and she will not wear it. Too casual and it does not feel special. The Coretta sits right in the middle: a navy blue tulle dress scattered with a gold metallic heart print that catches every light in the room, without being too formal for a child aged 2 to 7.
The sleeves are made from the same sheer tulle as the skirt, so the whole dress moves together as one piece. There is a soft underlining beneath the tulle skirt that gives it body and a gentle swish when she walks, and the loose trapeze fit means she can move freely without the dress getting in the way. The round gathered neckline opens the dress up at the top and makes it easy to pull on and off.
It works equally well for a birthday party, a family Christmas gathering, a school event or a photoshoot. For more outfit ideas and styling advice for girls this age, visit our girls seasonal fashion guide and our full range of beautiful party dresses for girls.
Gold Heart Print Tulle
Scattered metallic gold hearts run throughout the navy tulle, catching the light beautifully and giving the dress a festive, sparkling look.
Sheer Long Sleeves
The sleeves are made from the same lightweight sheer tulle as the skirt. They add coverage without adding bulk or warmth, keeping her comfortable all day.
Soft Lined Skirt
A soft cotton and satin underlining beneath the tulle skirt adds fullness and gentle movement, so the dress has shape without being stiff or heavy.

Perfect For
The navy and gold combination makes this dress particularly strong for autumn and winter events when most party dresses feel too summery. It works well at Christmas parties and family gatherings where you want something a little special without going full formal. The long sheer sleeves add a touch of modesty that makes it suitable for a wider range of occasions than a sleeveless dress would be.
For colder days, layer a cardigan or a warm jacket over the top. Our lace bolero jacket works well if you want to keep the look dressy, or a plain navy cardigan keeps it casual. For shoes, flat ballerina shoes or patent leather Mary Janes both pair naturally with the navy and gold palette.

Care Instructions
Use cool water and a mild detergent. Do not wring the tulle fabric as this can distort the shape. Hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid ironing directly over the gold heart print. For guidance on caring for tulle garments, read our article on how to care for tulle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dress suitable for a Christmas party?
Yes. The navy and gold colour combination makes it one of the strongest party dresses in our range for festive occasions. The gold heart print catches the light well in indoor settings, and the long sheer sleeves add a layer of coverage that keeps her comfortable through a full day or evening event. Pair with navy tights and flat shoes to complete the look.
Are the sleeves warm or just sheer?
The sleeves are made from the same sheer tulle as the skirt, so they are lightweight and not warm on their own. They add coverage but not warmth. For cooler weather, layer a cardigan or bolero jacket over the top. The dress is listed as suitable for spring, autumn and winter with an outer layer added.
Does the dress have a lining?
The skirt has a soft cotton and satin underlining that adds body and fullness to the tulle. The bodice area and sleeves are made from the sheer tulle only, with no additional lining in those sections. The underlining in the skirt means the dress sits comfortably against the skin and is not scratchy.
How does the dress fasten?
The dress fastens with a button at the back of the neck. This makes it straightforward to put on and take off for younger children, and the round gathered neckline stretches slightly to make dressing easier.
What shoes work best with this dress?
Flat shoes in navy, gold or neutral tones work best. Ballet flats or Mary Jane shoes both suit the age range and style of the dress. Avoid very casual trainers or sandals if you are wearing the dress to a party or formal occasion, as they can reduce the overall look.
How do I choose the right size?
Always measure your child’s chest and compare it to the size guide table above rather than ordering by age alone. The loose, trapeze fit means there is some flexibility in sizing, but if she is between two sizes it is always safer to go up. Contact us before ordering if you need help choosing.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery is between 5 and 20 working days. Free UK delivery applies to orders over £13. If you have a party or event coming up, order as early as possible to allow time for delivery and fitting.
What is the returns policy?
We accept returns within 30 days of placing your order, provided the item is unused and in its original condition with all tags still attached. Please visit our returns and refunds page for full terms before ordering.
