Direct answer

Dress children in well-fitting clothes that allow ordinary movement, toilet visits and rest, even when the event is formal.

Check the outfit with the child rather than judging it only from a photograph. Avoid dragging hems, scratching trims and fastenings they cannot manage with available adult help. Bring a comfortable change if the celebration is long and supervise loose accessories. A smaller version of an adult outfit may need different construction; appearance should not override the child's comfort or ability to participate.
