Princess Dresses For Little Girls: 10 Seriously Adorable Best-Sellers
Inside of every little girl there is a princess. I’m sure you’ve heard that before… maybe even SAID that before. Likely you’ve seen it when watching your own little girl at play.
Glitter, glamour, beautiful materials, ribbons, sparkles, sequins, “diamonds”, lace, you name it… they love it. And they love wearing them: Princess Dresses for Little Girls.
It can be tricky to know if a particular princess gown will be a good purchase, especially when shopping online and you can’t touch or examine it before buying. And returns are a hassle that no one wants to deal with… especially when your little Princess has seen and tried on the gown and loves it. (When you don’t.)
This is where this post comes in handy!
I’ve dug through all sorts of reviews and comments on various princess gowns for you (Amazon.com being the BEST place to buy costumes – cheapest and most variety… as well as most reviews). I’ve selected my Top 10 Choices – based on their popularity and high reviews.
To make “the cut” for this list of “Top Princess Gowns For Little Girls”, the dresses needed:
- at least 100 reviews
- at least a 4/5 star overall review
- have many written comments describing the actual dress received
- have pictures of the dress worn by actual kids (in the review section of each product)
10 Best-Selling Princess Gowns for Little Girls
(As an Amazon Associate I may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases made through links on this page, at no additional cost to you. Full Disclosure.)
#1 Disney’s Frozen Elsa Deluxe Girl’s Costume by Disguise
This gown by Disguise is by far the most popular/most purchased dress up gown on Amazon right now. It’s made of 100% Polyester but feels satiny, and the icy blue color of the gown is lovely! There are elegant sheer sleeves and a sheer overlay that is printed with white snowflakes and icicles. The back of it flows like a cape (see reviewers pics).
Current Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars by nearly 6,000 reviewers

#2 – Disney’s Frozen Anna Coronation Gown Deluxe Girls Costume by Disguise
“For the first time in forever…” she’ll look JUST LIKE Princess Anna in this lovely coronation gown! The dress has a black bodice, a long gold skirt and cute cap sleeves. There is glitter detailing (of course) and a beautiful snowflake character cameo.
Current Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars by 429 reviewers
From reviewers: It’s soft and comfortable, not cheap looking – a great dress for the price. Like the Elsa dress above, you can get it “floor length” if you want, by ordering a size up.

#3 – Little Adventures Classic Rapunzel Princess Dress Up Costume for Girls
If your daughter is a fan of Rapunzel, or if she simply loves the color purple, like mine does, she’ll love this option!
There are actually 4 slightly different purple princess dresses for little girls here in this option – all very, very cute. Purple crushed velvet bodices/shoulders, and lovely gold trim, puffed skirts, glitter… it’s hard to choose which is the loveliest, but I do think the one pictured here is my personal favorite. 🙂
Current Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars by 147 reviewers
From reviewers: “Surprisingly good” quality, can even hold up to washing, very comfortable, perfect for the pink & purple princess lover!

#4 JerrisApparel New Cinderella Gown
Ok – the dress is just SOOOO pretty, isn’t it?? Seriously, take a look at some of the pictures that reviewers uploaded of their little girls in this gown and you won’t be looking at any others. (Click here to see what I mean.)
Current Rating: 4.6/5 stars by 1,600+ reviewers
From reviewers: It’s full skirted, soft, brilliant in color just like the movie.
I love this brilliant blue one, but there’s also a stunning butterfly-covered light blue option, and a third shimmery one.

#5 Little Adventures Yellow Beauty Princess Dress Up Costume for Girls
Once again, Little Adventures has come out with a dress that is comfortable, WASHABLE, soft, stretchy (easy to get off and on), and super pretty. She’ll be the Sunshine Princess (or Belle) in this lovely yellow princess gown!
Current Rating: 4.6/5 stars by 153 reviewers
There are 3 different style options for this gown: traditional, deluxe, and satin. Pictured here is the Traditional option. The detailing on it is amazing!!
From reviewers: It’s soft and stretchy, most comfortable and favorite gown in the dress up box. Quality and detailing exceeded expectations!

#6 Little Adventures Traditional Scandinavian Princess Girls Costume
This gown is lovely and soft, well made “Scandinavian Princess” gown… perfect for dressing up as Princess Anna, of course.
Little Adventures dresses are good quality – the company was started by Moms who were tired of cheap costumes that fell apart after one wear, and were uncomfortable to boot. This dress is just as well liked.
Current Rating: 4.8 / 5 stars by 200 reviewers

#7 Melissa & Doug Children’s Princess Role Play Costume Set
If you have children into dress up, particularly into role playing, you’ll be familiar no doubt with Melissa & Doug role play costume sets. This princess one received great reviews just like their other costumes.
It comes with the tiara, wand, and gown (shoes not included).
Current Rating: 4.6 / 5 stars by 280 reviewers
From reviewers: The dress itself is soft and comfortable… and washable! The wand and tiara are well constructed with painted on jewels instead of cheaply glued on ones that fall off quickly… but they look nice! “You can’t go wrong with Melissa & Doug”.

#8 Child’s Red and Black Spanish Princess Costume by Rubie’s
This Spanish Princess dress will be a lot of fun for a girl who loves to dance! It’ll sway and spin along with your little senorita as she dances the day away!
I love this bold red and black combo, don’t you? And I love the ruffles and the single shoulder style – it says “exotic” and “beautiful”, doesn’t it? And yes, the headpiece is included.
Current Rating: 4.1 / 5 stars by 128 reviewers
Tip from reviewers: The sections between the ruffles are mesh = see through. Leggings/shorts may be needed if using this for a performance/not just at home play.
See Current Price at Amazon.com
***See also The Ultimate Princess Elena of Avalor Costume Collection – if you are looking for something similar, but don’t care for this one in particular!***
#9 JerrisApparel Snow Party Dress Queen Costume
So of course, this IS another Elsa dress… although as it’s not an official Disney gown, they can’t call it such. It IS a gorgeous dress for a “Snow Queen” or “Ice Queen”… or simply a beautiful blue, shimmery princess gown with mesh sleeves and wintery, glittery detailing. It’s just lovely, whatever you chose it to be.
Current Rating: 4.7 / 5 stars by 485 reviewers
Tip from reviewers: It has a LONG attached train (longer than the dress), which can be both positive and negative. Very “Elsa”.
See Current Price at Amazon.com
#10 JerrisApparel New Princess Party Dress Costume With Flower Cape
This is the “Springtime Elsa” Dress. Or, if you prefer, a beautiful Green Princess Gown with a lovely flower-covered, shimmering train. Very pretty, isn’t it?
The train is light/sheer and flowing, the gown soft and silky-like.
Current Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars by 114 reviewers
From reviewers: This is a really fun one to have in the dress up box! Accessories are super cute!
See Current Price at Amazon.com
So what do you think of these choices? Too many “Frozen” themed ones, perhaps? The top dresses just happen to be Anna and Elsa gowns… those designers and marketers for Disney really know what they’re doing, don’t they? They sure are beautiful gowns!
Here are a few fun pics of gorgeous princess gowns to look through on this cute video to give you some more ideas of what’s out there!
Do you have a favorite? Which gown would YOUR little girl go crazy for?
Chime in below… I’d love to hear from you!
Cheers,

You know what? I have a little beautiful adorable daughter that is about 3 years old and this post makes me want to buy all the dresses because they are cute! In fact, I love them and I have no doubt in mind that everyone that comes across this post will say the same.
Keep it up and help us make our daughters look great.
My own 3 year old would be drooling if I showed her these dresses too… Thanks for commenting, and have a lovely day!
That is an awesome selection of princess dresses. My oldest daughter is 33 and she still loves the nickname ‘princess’ that we gave her as a child.
She now has 2 daughters so I will keep these in mind. They look like great gifts. Awesome post, really well done.
Thanks Peter! Every girl (or woman) secretly (or not so secretly) dreams of being a beautiful princess, I think! 😉
I’m sure your grand-daughters would love these dresses too!
Cheers,
Marlaine
Oh boy, I can’t wait to show my little princess your latest article. Once again you have outdone yourself. You have done all the heavy lifting for me and continue to make my life easier! My only problem now will be getting my daughter to decide on just one!
Hi Patrick! Thanks for your kind words and Happy New Year to you and your family!
I think your girls are lucky to have a Dad so excited about dress up fun. Wishing you many happy days admiring your Princesses in their finery! 🙂
Marlaine
Thanks Marlaine. Happy New Year to you and the family as well!
I have 3 nieces and all of them love to dress up as princesses (of course!)
The girls are definitely fans of Frozen, but I think they like anything that is Disney. My wife and I enjoy spoiling them so perhaps this years’ birthdays will include presents such as these.
You can’t grow wrong with any of these 10 dresses, I’d think! 🙂 Princess dress up is definitely a lot of fun – and the dresses are pretty cute, aren’t they??
Cheers!
Marlaine
Hello Marlaine
Just wanted to say what a fantastic post with great information. I can certainly relate to this post as my niece was pestering the whole family for a Frozen dress to wear when she had a Frozen themed party for her birthday.
I also love the fact that you have included some important tips as to getting the right dress and sizes. I dread to think what would have happened to us on the day of the party had we got the wrong one !! 🙂
Great content and very helpful for visitors to your site Love it !!
Awesome! Thanks for commenting, Damian! Frozen certainly still has the world in it’s grip, doesn’t it? 🙂 I have a feeling Anna and Elsa dresses are going to remain popular for a Very. Long. Time. And that’s ok, because well, they are pretty adorable!
Hi Marlaine,
What a great review, I really enjoyed all the beautiful dresses on the article.
My sister has 5 years old girl, and I am sure she will just fall in love with some of those fantastic dresses.
She loves to play with her girlfriends and dress like princesses the whole day:) I have bookmarked your website so I can show her later on.
Thank you for this excellent article.
Thanks Daniella! Princess dresses are incredibly cute, aren’t they? (Especially that deep blue new Cinderella gown… stunning!!)
Have a lovely day, and thanks for passing on the word about my site to your sister!
Marlaine
You address the biggest problem with online shopping, not being able to touch the dress and the hassle of returns. I’m really glad you took the time to find the costumes that have the best reviews! It really helps others out. Great job!
Thanks Dan. It’s definitely a bit of a problem with buying costumes online – there are a LOT of super cheap, rip-right-away ones. Not worth the money. Hopefully my info gathering here will help someone find a few “golden” dresses for their girls so they WON’T have that problem!
Have a great day!
Oh my goodness, what a great list of best costume dresses! Wow, Elsa & Anna still at the top huh? Can’t believe it because my girls are already over them. 🙁 LOL I didn’t know they have the Spanish Princess dress, so fancy! I think I may have to get that one for my girls instead. 🙂
Anna and Elsa, I’m guessing, will reign until there’s a new princess in town. Elena of Avalor (TV show, not feature film) might be giving them a run for their title though – check out these adorable Princess Elena of Avalor costumes, especially if you liked the Spanish princess dress!
Thanks for dropping by, Grace!
This is a fantastic post. Loved the content and the ease of knowledge and understanding. I was actually searching for something like this for me niece and this site fits perfectly for what I am looking for. Im really intrigued to find out other costume ideas from the rest of your site! Great read!
Thanks Arif, so glad you found this helpful!
I love your website! It is every little girls Christmas List. I am always looking for the best dress up clothes for the little princesses in my life and your site made it much easier to find what I was looking for. I would like to find more classic Disney princess outfits too. I like a wide variety of dresses to choose from. I hope many parents find your site and order their princess a cute new dress. Best of luck to you!
Thanks so much, Ashley, for your encouraging comment! I appreciate hearing from readers!
Princess dress up is so much fun, even for parents of little princesses, isn’t it? My daughter right now is still BIG into Elsa, but Aurora and Snow White are also big favorites, so I also am looking for classic Disney dresses these days! Maybe this is an idea for a future post… thanks!
Have a lovely day!
