Help finding flower girl dress please.

newidentity

Last week, my SIL asked me if my daughter would want to be flower girl for her wedding in July and I am desparately trying to find a dress.

She has given me directions in what colours she wants (ivory dress with a black sash - the grown up bridesmaids are wearing black and the bride will be in a coloured dress) but I have spent so much time trawling the internet with no luck.

In brief, we are looking for a 4-5 year olds dress, ivory with black sash, straight aline dress. Nothing fancy, no frills, just straight cut, and not down to the floor (knee length or mid calf ideally) as the wedding is being held in a field!!! Not wanting to spend too much as I am paying for it and cannot see it being worn again (so would probably sell on ebay).

Can anyone give any websites to look at? Looked at the usual ones but had no luck. If I am having this many problems trying to find one dress, god knows what I will be like with a whole wedding to plan myself soon!! :eek:

Pretty sure you can get sashes from anywhere. If you have a haberdashy shop anywhere near you pop in there and see if they can suggest material to use as a sash or i'm sure someone said debenhams do them.

Thank you, that's helpful and I will bear it in mind about the sashes. Not quite the type of dress she wants though, she is looking for quite plain and shorter.

The style of dress is like this one (minus the bow) but needs to have somewhere where a sash can be sewn on as well.

"Girl's white organza bow dress"

if you put this into debenhams search bar, it will bring up a plain white flower girl dress thats in the sale for £25

Then add your own sash, not sure how much they are, but hopefully not too much!! good luck with your search

Maybe you could dye the white sash or cover/replace it with thick black ribbon.

I've used this company several times and can highly recommend them.

Sadly, I don't know anyone in America. Thanks for the idea though.
I think that would have been easier TBH. Initially, she wanted me to get the same colour as her dress but one that would go with black too. Having not seen her dress, I had no idea. She agreed to a simple colour as when I suggested it, I thought it would be an easy option.

That would have been ideal but they have sold out of all sizes, except age 11. Thanks though.

No budget as such but not really wanting to spend over £100.

Thank you, I quite like those but SIL wants simple A line with no frills, I think she would find them too puffy. She does not want fussy dresses, just plain.

That is a possibility thank you. Shame you cannot see it on though which would give me a better idea. Will bear it in mind, thanks.

We bought dresses off ebay with different coloured sashes and just removed them and sewed on the 'right' colour sashes, made from satin bought from a fabric shop.
simples.
