Design Details
Double-Layer Flutter Sleeves
The sleeves are cut from two overlapping layers of chiffon with a soft rolled edge finish, creating a butterfly-wing effect that moves beautifully as the wearer walks. They provide modest coverage at the shoulder while remaining light and non-restrictive for active children.
Pleated Chiffon Bodice
Vertical pleats fan out from the neckline across the entire bodice, creating texture and depth that photographs particularly well. The pleating also gives the bodice a more forgiving fit across a range of chest sizes, making it practical for growing children.
Wide Ruched Waistband with Back Sash Bow
A structured, wide waistband in matching chiffon defines the high waist and creates a clean visual break between bodice and skirt. The waistband ties at the back with a long sash that forms a neat, elegant bow, adding a charming finishing detail that looks beautiful in photographs.
Floor-Length Chiffon Skirt
The full-length skirt is constructed from soft chiffon with an inner lining that adds volume and prevents the fabric from being see-through. It flows and moves gracefully with every step, with a gentle high-low finish at the hem that gives it a polished, well-constructed appearance.
Lined Bodice for Comfort
The bodice interior is fully lined, so chiffon sits over smooth fabric rather than directly against the skin. This makes the dress considerably more comfortable for younger children who may be wearing it for hours during a ceremony, reception, or photoshoot.
Hidden Back Zip Closure
A concealed zip closure runs down the centre back of the bodice, keeping the back of the dress clean and smooth. It makes dressing and undressing straightforward for younger children who may need help getting in and out of the dress during the day.
Available Colours
Seven colours cover the full spectrum of wedding palettes and party themes. Each version uses the same silhouette and construction, so multiple girls in a bridal party can wear different sizes in the same colour with a consistent finish.
White
Black
Turquoise
Royal Blue
Coral
Yellow
Red
Wedding party tip: If you are coordinating multiple dresses across different sizes, order all sizes in the same colour at the same time. Colour consistency is best guaranteed when all dresses come from the same batch. We recommend ordering at least 6 to 8 weeks before the event.
Perfect For
Wedding flower girl
Junior bridesmaid
First Holy Communion
Civil ceremony
Formal photoshoot
Birthday party
School prom or formal
Garden parties and events
The white version is particularly popular for First Communion and traditional church weddings. The bolder colours such as royal blue, turquoise, red, and coral are ideal for colourful weddings, themed parties, and events where the bridal party wants a vibrant, celebratory palette. Black is a sophisticated option for formal evening events and parties where a more grown-up aesthetic is appropriate.

Size Guide
This dress is available in sizes from 2 to 10 years. Always measure your child and compare all four measurements to the table below. Since this is a floor-length dress, height is particularly important alongside chest and waist. The dress length scales significantly with size, so a child measured at the borderline between two sizes should always be sized up to ensure the skirt length is appropriate. For more guidance, see our Girls Size Guide.
| Age | Chest | Waist | Hip | Height |
|---|
| 2 years | 21″ / 53 cm | 20″ / 51 cm | 20″ / 51 cm | 38.5″ / 98 cm |
| 4 years | 23″ / 58 cm | 22″ / 56 cm | 22″ / 56 cm | 43″ / 110 cm |
| 5 years | 25″ / 64 cm | 24″ / 61 cm | 25″ / 64 cm | 47″ / 120 cm |
| 6 years | 27″ / 69 cm | 26″ / 66 cm | 27″ / 69 cm | 51″ / 130 cm |
| 8 years | 29″ / 74 cm | 27″ / 69 cm | 31″ / 79 cm | 55″ / 140 cm |
| 10 years | 32″ / 81 cm | 29″ / 73 cm | 34″ / 86 cm | 59″ / 150 cm |
Sizing advice: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. Please allow a margin of plus or minus 3 cm due to manual measurement. The back waistband ties and the chiffon bodice allow a small amount of flexibility at the waist. For floor-length dresses, the height measurement is as important as chest and waist, since a dress that is too long can be a trip hazard for a small child. If your child is between two sizes, always size up. Contact us if you need help choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this dress suitable for a 2-year-old to wear all day?
Yes, with the right sizing. The fully lined bodice and soft chiffon fabric make it comfortable for extended wear. The floor-length skirt is worth checking against your child’s height using the size chart, as a size that is too long could cause tripping. The size 2 is specifically sized for children around 98 cm tall, so always check your child’s height against the chart before ordering.
Is the chiffon see-through?
The bodice is fully lined so it is not see-through. The skirt has an inner lining that reduces transparency significantly, though chiffon is naturally a semi-sheer fabric. White shorts or tights worn underneath is advisable for younger children, particularly in outdoor or brightly lit settings.
Can multiple girls in a bridal party all wear this dress in the same colour?
Yes. The same silhouette and construction runs across all sizes, so a group of flower girls of different ages can each wear the same colour and the dresses will look coordinated. We recommend ordering all sizes at the same time to ensure the same colour batch and dye lot, which keeps the shades consistent.
How does the back bow work?
The waistband has two long chiffon sash ties that hang from the back and are tied into a bow. The bow is adjustable, which gives some flexibility with fit at the waist. The hidden zip closure sits above the waistband at the centre back of the bodice and is separate from the bow.
Which colour works best for a traditional wedding?
White is the most traditional choice and pairs naturally with ivory and cream bridal gowns. For a more contemporary look, royal blue, turquoise, and coral all photograph beautifully in both natural and indoor light. Black is a bold choice that works well for evening receptions and formal events. Yellow is a popular option for garden and spring weddings.
Can this dress be worn in winter?
Yes. A matching bolero jacket, fitted shrug, or cardigan in the same or complementary colour works well over the top for colder outdoor moments. Coloured tights in a coordinating shade can also add warmth without disrupting the overall look. The flutter sleeves provide more coverage than a sleeveless or spaghetti-strap design, which helps in cooler venues.
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 £49.99. For full postage and returns details, visit our postage and returns page.
