Dress Your Girl In Velvet with Designer Atelier Barn

Once a staple in the fashion world, in the last couple of decades we had seen a decline in the use of velvet by children’s clothing designers. Its unmistakable look and feel make it a bold fabric choice for any garment, but it was most often used in velvet dresses. Gorgeous in nearly any color, these dresses made excellent outfits for girls.

But, fortunately, today’s clothing designers—particularly those who design little girl fashion—have a newfound love of incorporating this fabric into their designs. Today girls’ velvet dresses, skirts and more continue to enjoy a renewed popularity and appreciation. If you are fond of fashion-forward clothing, velvet clothing might just be the new trend-setting look to share with your little girl.

Many designers are dabbling into velvet clothing, but few are doing it as well as Atelier Barn. A Swedish children’s clothing brand that was the brainchild of a wildly creative brother-sister duo, Atelier Barn is making waves in the children’s fashion world. Their clothing is distinct, with just the right amount of edge to make your little girl stand out in the best way. Each of their pieces is of high quality with expert attention to detail to ensure that every child who wears it, loves it.

We’ve gathered up a few of our favorite pieces of Atelier Barn designer girls’ clothes to share their stunning talent with you—and inspire you to dress your girl in velvet. Once you’ve seen these pieces you’ll be convinced that she needs a piece or two of Atelier Barn clothes in her closet.

First up, we have a stunning example of an Atelier Barn blue velvet dress. The rich, deep blue velvet of this dress is dramatic—a bold pop of color that pairs perfectly with a traditional dress design. And the cream detailing along the neckline provides a pop of visual interest that draws the eye right to your sweet girl’s face. The long sleeves and modest skirt make this dress a perfect choice for a holiday dinner with family, a trip to see a play, or even school picture day. Plus, the swinging skirt of this velvet long sleeve dress allows for maximum range of motion, which means that once dinner is done or pictures are taken, your little girl can get on with playing and having fun freely.

If you’re not looking for full dresses but still love the look of this unique fabric, velvet skirts for girls might be your ideal option. Atelier Barn has this darling blue skater skirt that any girl would love to wear. Again, it makes use of the same deep blue hue, but in a skirt it feels less formal and more whimsical—perfect for a tea party with friends or a day shopping with grandma. The cream stripes in the pleats are a throwback look that reminds us of days filled with school spirit and cheer. Pair this skirt with a simple tee and sneakers for an adorably trendy look.

For a fun twist on the classic plaid skirt look no further than this Red Plaid Lola Skirt. It combines the fun tactile feel of velvet with three plaid tiers that are perfectly mismatched for a trendy look. The ruffles on the skirt are perfect for a girly girl, but the plaid makes it work just as well for those who like girls’ outfits that are a little less traditionally feminine. Plus, this swingy skirt isn’t restricting, which allows even the most active little girls to enjoy it. Pair this with a sweater in a matching shade for an adorable play date outfit that works both inside or out.

As you can see, velvet has made a comeback in a big way. From dresses for girls to sweaters and skirts, this fabric is a must for any fashion-forward girls who enjoy standing out and looking adorably stylish.
