Original source of these flower girl outfits?

Hi Amanda,
This set is listed as handmade and no production partners have been declared. There’s no guarantee that’s definitely true but it’s against Etsy policy to purchase and resell items (full-time Etsy business owner here!).
If sellers are designing the outfits themselves and having them manufactured elsewhere, they can do that but they have to declare that they use a production partner. It could be that several shops are ordering their fabric and/or patterns from the same supplier. I’d recommend choosing a shop with better reviews, and then contacting the seller before ordering if you’d need delivery by a certain date and/or would like to enquire about different colours. Most of us will go out of our way to help!

View quoted message That’s really helpful, thank you.


I didn’t consider that people may be using bought patterns, but they are all so similar (in their whole ranges usually not just the crop top) you might be right. I have seen a few using the exact same images which seemed odd but maybe I’ll just avoid those ones!

I’d avoid any shops that appear to be using the same images as other sellers - if they’re genuinely handmade outfits, they’d be using their own original photographs.
I had a quick look and narrowed the search to UK based shops and sorted by Customer Reviews - and there seem to quite a few good options (including Etsy’s Pick items and Star Sellers) with much shorter processing times!
