Long white dress
After looking at the work of many portrait artists it seems that the only appropriate thing to paint a little girl or young woman in is a relatively simple long white dress. It seems like a uniform and is a bit monotonous. I can understand not wanting to paint them in their play clothes.
Would it be without good taste to show these young, innocent creatures in say, a jewel colored velvet dress with a matching hat or even a bright pink dress with a fluffy skirt?
