Dress Wobbles!

Just thought I'd share this with you all and perhaps make you smile?

I know dress wobbles are normal, but what about flowergirl dress wobbles?

I'm currently considering buying her dress number four!!!!!

I think I'm mental, but I am REALLY struggling to find the perfect one........ :eek:

    PS Sorry if I had anyone worried with the title, I am DEFINATELY NOT having dress wobbles about my own dress. LOL!

    I think you should have sourced a good dressmaker and had the 'perfect one' made!! It would have been less expensive than buying 4 dresses (nearly 4) lol.
    I can't say whether it's normal, ok, I will say it, personally I have never had any experiences with ladies having wobbles regarding their or any of their bridal party's dresses.
    What IS your perfect flowergirl dress. xx ( i wanted to put that little cheers symbol up and forgot and it won't let me do it in edits!)

    The first I bought was £7.50, the second £9.99 and the third £4.99, so hardly expensive (ebay!) but I do get your point! The perfect flowergirl dress would complement mine in some way, perhaps a bow on it too?

    Speaking as someone now on her third wedding dress (the shame to admit on mse website) I would say think about it then go for the one you want and sell the others on ebay especially if they were not expensive. Its your day and you dont want to wake up on the day and wish you had bought something different (hope that doesn't sound too bridezilla)

    I have 4 teenagers to buy for all really petite boned and wear clothes for 8,9,11,12 yet they are nearly 13 x2 ,13 and 15! Some are starting to change shape so I dare not buy anything till next year.I have been asked not to get anything to babyish and i am not to keen on anything aimed at adults. It will have to match my adult bridesmaid and complement me. I have another year to have a think anyway phew!

    At least if you are ebay savy you can resell the ones you dont' like. Or if you have not sold on there before ask me for advise i have sold quite abit of my stuff over the last few years.

    I'm having wobbles about whether i want a flowergirl or not!

    I love love love looking at all the flowergirl dresses on ebay and my cousins little girl would love to be one, i know. It's just justifying the cost of it in my head

    I already have 3 adult bridesmaids, would a flowergirl aswell be too much?

    I also dont know what colour dress id have for her. My dress is light gold and my BMs are wearing eggplant Alfred Angelo dresses. All the flowergirl dresses ive seen are white or ivory or the wrong purple. eeek

    picklepick have you thought about buying a ribbon or making a sash in the right colour and adding it a plain flowergirl dress? What age or colour would you like perhaps we can all have a look see.

    You could look at just normal dresses rather than ones listed as for flowergirls? We got my little bridesmaid just a white sun dress from Monsoon kids and I made a silver sash to go around it, cost £20 for dress and £75 for the sash fabric. Also meant she gets to wear it again on her hols etc

    Would an ivory or white flowergirl dress look weird with my light gold dress though?
    I think she'll be 6 or 7 when the wedding come round.

    My adult BMs are wearing eggplant, so a dark cadbury purple. I guess she could have a dress that colour but finding one to match would be tricky i think!
