Flower girl dress

Mrs EtoB, 17 March, 2014 at 15:16 Posted on Planning 0 15

Hi

I need to find a flower girl dress for my niece who will be 3 and a half when we get married. I just want a fairly simple ivory dress as I'm having a blue sash made to go around it.

Can anyone recommend any dresses to me? I really don't want to spend a lot as this will just be something she wears once and never again - but I don't want to get something second hand. I've seen one in M&S that is only £35 but am struggling to find anything cheaper than that. BHS, Monsoon, Next, John Lewis - are all quite expensive.

Any recommendations would be most welcome!

Thank you.

    Thanks, I will have a look.

    It just seems that as soon as the word "wedding" or "flower girl" is in front of a tiny childs ivory dress - the price shoots up. The cheapest I've seen on BHS is £30-35 which still seems like a lot to me. I wanted to pay half that really. Especially as I'm going to have to get a sash made, a cardigan and shoes for her to wear too!

    Depending when your day is, you could wait for the sales. Try TK Maxx and matalan too. Saino's and asda do nice children's clothes. I agree about looking away from the wedding aisles though Smiley winking. Or try eBay etc. bargains galore on there. X

    Wow - I would never have thought to look in Tesco - and both those dresses are really nice! Thank you.

    Haven't looked in TK Maxx yet so will definitely give that a try too. Wedding is in June but I ideally need to get something by the end of April so don't think there'll be any sale items for wedding stuff now but will be keeping my eyes peeled!

    I can't seem to find an ivory dress that isn't in the "wedding" section on websites - always bumps up the price doesn't it!

    Thank you ladies!

    Thanks Nicksy88! I do really like the look of that one and it seems to be much better value for money than what is on offer elsewhere! Will have to look at cardigans and shoes for her in there too.

    The quality for the money is fab.. Also if u have quidco they put Tesco codes on quite often so I ordered all 3 separately with £5 off vouchers so only cost £22 each!! X

    Hi

    I just wanted to report back and say that I've bought the first shown dress here from Tesco and a little matching cardie - total £35 - and it is really lovely. Great quality and quite thick material with a nice lining underneath. I'm really pleased with it. I just hope it fits my niece now! She's trying it on on Sunday so fingers crossed!

    Well I'm back to the drawing board with this one. My niece tried the dress on at the weekend and its a bit too snug across her chest so will have to go back. The age 4-5 will be too big so I'm looking for another make.

    When she tried it on at the weekend she hated it and tried to rip it off so it's made me even more determined to not pay out for a beautiful dress that she might even refuse to wear on the day. So I found this one in next which is a t-shirt material on top and a netting skirt. I think its really pretty and at only £13 I think its a great idea. Can I ask your opinions - do you think she will look enough like a flower girl in it?

    I think it looks lovely. She will probably be more comfortable in it too.
