Flower Girl Dresses are a special garment worn by little
girls between the ages of three and eight, mainly at weddings, where
the flower girls walk down the aisle ahead of the maid of honor,
sprinkling flower petals or confetti in the path of the bride.
Flower Girl Dresses
are not, however, restricted to weddings, and can often be worn on many
other occasions such as parties, receptions, communions, baptisms,
christenings, Easter, and other special occasions.
Most little girls love to dress up and it would be wise to involve them
in the selection of the garment; the last thing you want is a flower
girl who dislikes the selection chosen for her. There are numerous
styles of Flower Girl Dresses to choose from, in a wide variety of fabrics, patterns, textures, colors and designs to please most any little girl.
Most Flower Girl Dresses are usually calf-length or ankle-length
and are made from chiffon, satin, tulle or a combination of materials.
Flower girl dresses can range from the very simple to extremely ornate
gowns trimmed with lace, satin ribbons, seed pearls, beaded appliqués,
corded rosettes, and much more.
Flower Girl Dresses are frequently accompanied by a variety of
matching or complementary accessories such as a tiara, a wicker basket
with flowers, ribbons, headbands, bows, barrettes, veils, hair wreaths
or bun wraps, gloves, and so on. These accessories can be bought
separately but they may often be bought along with the dress.
Since Flower Girl Dresses will be worn on a very special
occasion, it is important that it fits properly. So plan to have the
gown well in advance to ensure there will be no last minute problems.
Use a smooth tape for taking measurements. Take measurements of the
shoulders, the chest, and the waist and from top of the shoulder to the
floor. Take length measurements from the shoulder to mid-calf or up to
the ankle. It is best to allow a little extra room when measuring, as
it is better to have a gown be slightly larger rather than too small.
It is equally important to allow plenty of time when ordering your Flower Girl Dresses
most will ship your selection within 4 weeks but will also offer rush
shipping at an additional fee. Be sure to include the wear date
whenever you are ordering online to be certain your selection is
available.
