I think Llurpse gave some good way to teach that dress up is fun, without making it focus on being beautiful has to hurt. Five year olds are very impressionable at that age, and telling them that being beautiful has to hurt, is really sending some wrong messages.
Do you want her to be starving herself at 10 so she can not look developed like all the models out there, so she can look sexy?
Playing sports, games, art activities, etc, will give her more self confidence than telling her she looks pretty. We don't teach our boys that they have to look handsome at five so they can be self confident.
