Piano recital is quite a formal event that requires a certain dress code to be uphold. Piano recitals are seen as events where elegance and refinement of classical music is being enjoyed, and outfits have to be in tone with it. We're going to give you tips on how to prepare your little girl for this type of events, so let's start. First of, hair. It depends on the length, actually. If your girl has long hair, it is recommended to have it set in a pony tale, so it won't get into her eyes or mouth as she plays, and it always a better immersion if the audience can see her face. For the shorter hair, just make sure it is groomed so it doesn't look unkempt.
Let's move on to the wardrobe. We should start with items that are not suitable for this type of events; low cutbacks, big necklines, spaghetti straps, short skirts above the knees, stilettos, flip flops and platform shoes. It also advisable to remove any jewelry that might impact the performance, such as rings and bracelets.
So, now that we gave you a crash course on piano recital dress code, let's start with our list of dresses that will make your girl as beautiful and elegant just like the music she's about to play.
