The dress that works for a birthday party, a family day out, and everything in between.Floral dresses for girls are everywhere right now, but most of them look like floral dresses for girls. This one is a bit different. The Floral Print Belted Girls Skater Dress uses a watercolour-effect print in lilac, blush pink, cream, and soft plum on a muted grey background, with subtle butterfly motifs woven through the pattern. The result is something that reads as genuinely stylish rather than just cheerful, and it works as well for a summer party as it does for a casual Saturday morning.
The flared skater skirt and fitted bodice create a flattering, twirl-ready silhouette, and the thin black belt with buckle detail adds definition at the waist while giving the outfit a slightly more dressed-up feel. At just £14.99, it is one of those buys that looks considerably more expensive than it is.
Available in sizes from 2 to 13 years, it fits a wide age range and suits both younger girls who want something fun and older girls who want something genuinely stylish.
The Print, Up Close
Watercolour Floral and Butterfly Print
The all-over print uses a layered, watercolour-style effect that gives it depth and a slightly artistic quality. Flowers in lilac, blush pink, cream, and deep plum are set against a soft grey-blue background, giving the dress a tonal, grown-up feel rather than a flat block-colour look. Subtle butterfly shapes are scattered throughout the pattern, adding a whimsical touch that younger girls tend to spot and love immediately. The print runs consistently across both the bodice and skirt, giving the dress a seamless, cohesive finish.
Key Features
Skater Silhouette
The fitted bodice flows into a lightly pleated, flared skirt that sits at the knee. It is the classic fit-and-flare shape that flatters most body types and gives girls full freedom of movement for running, dancing, and twirling.
Black Buckle Belt Included
A thin black faux leather belt with a gold-toned buckle is included with the dress. It sits at the waist and adds contrast and definition that lifts the whole outfit. It can be worn or removed depending on the occasion.
Sleeveless with Wide Straps
The sleeveless design with wide shoulder straps is comfortable for warm weather and practical for layering a cardigan or denim jacket over the top when the temperature drops.
Soft, Stretchy Fabric
Made from 95% viscose and 5% elastane, the fabric has a gentle stretch that makes it comfortable to wear all day. It is lightweight and smooth against the skin without being stiff or restrictive.
Round Neckline
A clean round neckline keeps the front of the dress neat and classic. It is comfortable against the neck without being too tight or too wide, making it easy to wear for extended periods.
Knee-Length Skirt
The knee-length hem is practical, age-appropriate, and versatile. It works for parties, school events, and casual outings without being too short for active wear or too long to look fun.
Perfect For
Birthday parties
Summer days out
Casual family occasions
School discos
Garden parties
Day trips and holidays
Play dates and meetups
Easter and spring events
The muted, tonal colour palette means this dress is not limited to summer. It works equally well for spring and autumn with a light jacket over the top, and the colours photograph beautifully in natural light, making it a popular choice for family photos and day trips.

Size Guide
This dress is available in sizes from 2 to 13 years. The table below gives approximate dress lengths for the larger sizes. For younger sizes, the dress length scales proportionally with the child’s height. Always measure your child before ordering and use your child’s measurements rather than age alone, as builds vary. Our Girls Size Guide can help if you need further guidance.
| Size | Approx. Dress Length |
|---|
| 7 to 8 years | 25 to 26 inches (63 to 66 cm) |
| 9 to 10 years | 27 to 28 inches (68 to 71 cm) |
| 11 to 12 years | 29 to 30 inches (73 to 76 cm) |
| 13 years | 30 to 31 inches (76 to 79 cm) |
Sizing note: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Please allow a margin of plus or minus 3 cm due to manual measurement. The fabric has a small amount of stretch (5% elastane), which gives a little flexibility around the chest and waist. If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit. Contact us if you need help choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the belt come included with the dress?
Yes. The thin black faux leather belt with a gold-toned buckle is included with every purchase. It is designed to sit at the natural waist of the dress, but it can be worn loose or removed entirely depending on the look you want.
Is the fabric stretchy?
Yes, slightly. The fabric is 95% viscose and 5% elastane. The elastane gives it a gentle stretch that makes it comfortable to put on and wear without feeling restrictive. It is not a highly stretchy jersey fabric, more of a soft, draping material with a little give.
Is this dress suitable for a party as well as everyday wear?
Yes. The belt and flared skirt give it enough polish for parties and family gatherings, while the lightweight fabric and comfortable fit make it practical for everyday summer wear too. Without the belt it reads as more casual. With the belt on, it looks noticeably more dressed up.
What does the print actually look like in person?
The print is a watercolour-style floral in lilac, blush pink, white, and deep plum set against a soft grey-blue background. The colours blend into one another rather than being sharp or flat, which gives it a more painterly, sophisticated quality than a standard printed dress. Butterfly shapes are also woven subtly through the pattern. The overall effect is soft and muted rather than bright and bold.
Which size should I order?
Use the dress length measurements in the size chart above as your guide for older girls. For younger sizes, the proportions scale with the child’s height. The fabric has a small amount of stretch, which helps with fit around the chest and waist. If your child falls between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort.
Can this be worn in autumn or with a jacket?
Yes. The wide shoulder straps make it easy to layer a denim jacket, light cardigan, or cropped hoodie over the top for cooler days. The muted purple and grey tones work well into autumn and pair naturally with grey, white, or navy layering pieces.
How long does UK delivery take?
Standard UK delivery is estimated at 3 to 10 working days. Orders over £13 qualify for free UK delivery, which this dress covers on its own at £14.99. For full postage and returns information, visit our postage and returns page.
