The tie-front floral dress from Night Life (available in three colors for Teens and Adults) is probably my favorite Maxis outfit, and it has bugged me for the longest time that such a frilly, girly dress isn't available for little girls. It turns out that a mesher named Zoe has modified the mesh for little girls, and converted the pink floral dress to fit that mesh. Unfortunately, it appears that Zoe didn't bother to convert the other two colors as well.
So that's where I come in. My favorite of the three Maxis colors is the blue one, and in deciding to convert the one, I chose to convert the other color as well.
These dresses are really quite adorable in-game, and except for the sleeves being slightly longer and the neckline needing a slight modification, it was a snap to convert the textures from the teen dress to the child one. (I've, uh, never understood why the yellow dress has green shoes, but whatever.)
Because Zoe's version omitted the necklace part of the texture, I chose to follow suit, in the interest of consistency, though it isn't hard to add it back in if you want it.
So now, at last, your family of Adult, Teen and Child females can all have the same cute dress, in all three colors (The pink version is of course available from Zoe herself. Just follow the link for the mesh, and you'll get the pink texture along with the mesh.)
As a bonus, since there are only two files being uploaded, I'm including the following.
After completing the two Maxis color conversions, I decided to attempt to convert my favorite of my own recolors -- the green and yellow pansy dress from
this upload. I'm pleased to announce that it was a success. I think they look great in-game on Teens and Children, possibly even better than on adults.
I will reiterate that these are the Maxis textures (for the first two) converted for children, and a conversion of my own texture for both ages. The Teen version requires Night Life because it uses the Maxis mesh. The Child versions do not have any expansion pack requirements to my knowledge.

Special thanks to
Sims2Cri for bringing this adorable mesh to my attention by doing a couple of recolors. I never would have discovered this mesh on my own!
