Flowergirl dresses

[mommytotwo]

Our friend had asked my daughter to be their flowergirl for a wedding at the ending of this month.
I have been looking online and had seen a selection-alot of them on the poofy side.
I need a size 3T, something more on the simple side-sleeveless is preferred, and not that expensive. This will most likely be worn just once.
The colors of the wedding is white, light blue, and dark blue.
Can anyone help me find a dress or recommend an online site that they had used before.

Have you looked at David's Bridal? My SIL purchased her wedding gown there and got a great deal.

You might want to try a consignment shop. Many times you can find Strasburg at great prices. I found a wonderful 2 piece outfit for my ds at a consignment shop.

This is who I used for my wedding for my two flower girls. The owner sent me fabric swatches before hand and the dresses came very quickly and were great, awesome quality!! I shopped around and her prices were actually pretty good, flower girl dresses are getting expensive!

I had a great experience.

There is only one or two consignment shops here, but I'll take a look at them.
Thank you for the suggestions.

As a recent bride who used Britches and Bows, I would never recommend using them to anyone. I ordered my flowergirl dresses from them over a month before my wedding (they said it would be there the next week). After a few nasty phone calls and threatening to take them to the BBB I recieved my flowergirl dresses Thursday night before my Saturday wedding! It was so much stress and frustration, I would hate for anyone to have to go through that. Just an FYI, obviously another DIS'er had a plesant experience with them. I unfortunately did not!

David's is great because typically you can buy off the rack and the prices are reasonable. Also, if the bridesmaids have some fabric left from the alterations from their dresses you could make a cute little bow for your DD's dress to tie it all together....good luck!

I would love to buy something off the rack so that my daughter is able to try the dress on before purchasing it, but there is only one place here that might have flowergirl dresses for sale or to rent, so will check that out on Tuesday.
Unfortunatly, we don't have a David's Bridal here or close by.

OH MY!!! Don't buy one of those!!! That is way too much money! I have found a few dresses on ebay from this seller & have recommended her to MANY people on the boards who have asked where I got DD's dress from in my sig picture. Shipping is reasonable. She ships quickly & they are NOT expensive. Here are some that I found when I searched her ebay store for blue. She lists the measurements but I would go for a 4/4T vs the 2/2T. If it is a little big you can easily sinch it in a bit, but that probably wouldn't be necessary. DD's dress was a little big on her in the picture but fits her great a year later with a little bit of room still to spare.

We purchased our flowergirl dress on eBay from ducklingsdaffodils. The dress was $17.95, she's a 4T.

Go to a department store around Easter or afterwords. There's no reason to spend over $100 on a dress your DD will grow out of in a month or two. I'm taking my 2 flowergirls (ages 2 and 3) to JCPenneys or Macy's to see what we can find for under $30.

AMEN to phisigprincess-we got ours at Dillard's for 30 bucks and they were BEAUTIFUL! I'd post a pic, but I don't really want to post one of kids, ya know? I loved them and they had all colors and styles.

I bought one for my dd on ebay. It was brand new and very simple. The flowers that were on it were pinned on instead of sown on but I did that myself and the dress was beautiful. My Mom made a crinoline to make it a bit poufy (my dd loves anything poufy). The dress cost me $9 + shipping. The sellers name is butterflyxc and I think she still has auctions going. It held up so well that it is now being worn as dress up dress whenever my dd wants to be a "bride".

Cute dresses!

Well if your wedding is after Nov 18th I will be selling my daughters flower girl dress on ebay LOL...I think its a size 5 though! The wedding party went together to buy it so they all matched, hers will be white with a removeable sash that matches the bridesmaids dresses...I think it was 159.00 plus 50 for alteration! Boy I would love to be in a wedding where they let you buy a dress off the rack anywhere you wanted LOL...most of my bridesmaids and maid of honor dresses have been at least 250.00 and all picked out by the bride!

The wedding is on Oct.29th, and I need a size 3T.




My next question would be-
Where can I find shoes, what type of shoes would be appropriate? This will be a beach wedding, so I'm thinking that sandals would be fine-I just don't want my daughter to go bear footed.
Has anyone made a flowerbasket before and have pictures? I have made one once, and need to make my daughter her basket. I know basically what I want, but is open to more ideas.

Thank you everyone for your info.
I had placed a bid for the first dress.
I just need to figure out everything else out and hope that I win the bid.

The flowergirl in my dd wedding found her dress in a dept store that sold First Communion dresses....She didnt pay much. She purchased the smallest size and had it altered down some more.
