Usually "big girl" is used to describe little girls, funnily enough. It's basically a term people will use when talking to a little girl to compliment how mature she is, or convince her that she is capable of doing something, that she's big enough (old enough, mature enough) to handle something.
Ex. "You're a big girl, you can tie your shoes by yourself."

It is only used to describe children. It is a term of praise for a child who has grown old enough to do some new thing, like sleep in a bed or dress herself.
