We’re pretty sure we can’t get away with calling ourselves princesses any more, but chances are your little one can.

Sonia Rykiel has taken that quirky girlish charm and stamped it all over its children’s collection, and this grey princess dress is as practical as it is fun for little girls with royal rights everywhere.

Made from stretch jersey it’s lightweight enough for summer but come autumn you can really raise the Rykiel cuteness with a pair of signature striped knitted tights.
