Why This Dress Stands Out
The halter neckline and open crossover back are the defining features here. Rather than a closed bodice or a plain zip-back, the straps cross and tie at the back of the neck, leaving the upper back open, which gives the dress a distinctive rear silhouette that photographs well in aisle and portrait shots alike.
Because the skirt is chiffon rather than a tulle ball gown, the dress drapes and moves with the body instead of standing out in a full, structured shape. It’s a softer, lighter look that suits a flowing, contemporary style of flower girl or junior bridesmaid dress.
With 7 colours available, it’s easy to match a specific bridesmaid palette without needing to default to white, and at this price point it’s a practical option for wedding parties dressing more than one child.

- Mint Green: a fresh, cool green popular for garden and outdoor ceremonies.
- Light Pink: a soft, muted pink for a gentle, romantic look.
- Pink: a brighter, more saturated pink than light pink, for a bolder choice.
- Purple: a richer, deeper purple suited to more formal evening events.
- Lavender: a softer, paler purple with a delicate, pastel feel.
Colours may appear very slightly different on screen compared to in person, due to lighting and display settings.
Styling Tips
Because the back is open below the crossover straps, it’s worth having a light layer on hand for cooler venues or outdoor ceremonies. A simple bolero, shrug or cardigan sits neatly over the shoulders without covering the halter neckline from the front. Simple shoes and a delicate hair accessory usually complete the look well, since the crossover back is already a strong visual detail on its own.
Size Guide
This dress is available in six sizes, covering ages 4 to 14. As with any fitted occasion dress, it’s worth measuring your daughter and comparing against the chart below rather than relying on age alone.
| Age | Chest (cm) | Waist (cm) | Dress Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 years | 60 | 58 | 95 |
| 6 years | 64 | 60 | 100 |
| 8 years | 68 | 64 | 105 |
| 10 years | 72 | 68 | 115 |
| 12 years | 76 | 72 | 125 |
| 14 years | 82 | 76 | 130 |
1cm = 0.39 inches. Please allow a margin of around 3cm either way, since all measurements are taken by hand. For more detail on getting the right fit, see our girls size guide.
Perfect For
This dress suits flower girls, junior bridesmaids, weddings, birthday parties, proms, formal events, communion celebrations, family photos, pageants, school performances and holiday occasions including Christmas.
Weddings and junior bridesmaid duties: the 7 colour options make it easier to coordinate with the rest of the bridal party.
Communion and family photographs: the softer pastel shades, like Light Pink and Sky Blue, suit these more traditional, photo-focused occasions.
Proms and formal events: the flowing chiffon skirt and open back give a grown-up, elegant silhouette for older girls.
If your daughter has been asked to be a junior bridesmaid, our ultimate guide to flower girl dresses is worth a read while you plan the outfit.
Fabric and Care
This dress is made from a polyester and chiffon blend with a satin lining, chosen for a soft, flowing drape that still holds enough structure through the lining. Hand wash is recommended, and please avoid bleach to keep the colour looking its best.
If ironing is needed, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side, since chiffon can mark or shine under direct heat. Hanging the dress rather than folding it helps the skirt keep its shape between wears.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age range does this dress fit?
It’s available in six sizes covering ages 4 to 14 years. Check the size table above and compare it to your daughter’s measurements for the best fit.
Is the back of this dress fully open?
The back is open below the crossover straps, which tie at the neck and are joined by a concealed zip further down at the waist. For cooler venues, a light bolero or cardigan adds coverage without affecting the front view of the dress.
How is this different from your Gathered Halter White Flower Girl Dress?
This one has a flowing chiffon skirt rather than a tulle ball gown skirt, comes in 7 colours rather than white only, and the back uses crossover straps rather than a single open panel with one ribbon tie. Our Gathered Halter Girls White Flower Girl Dress has a fuller, more structured ball gown silhouette with a pleated waistband, and is white only.
How is this different from your Pleated Chiffon Junior Bridesmaid Dress?
This one has a halter neckline with an open crossover back, rather than a closed back. Our Girls Pleated Chiffon Junior Bridesmaid Dress has a round neckline with a pleated bodice and a tied sash at a fully closed back, and comes in a wider range of 17 colours.
What is the dress made from?
It’s made from a polyester and chiffon blend with a satin lining for added fullness.
Does this dress have a zip?
Yes. A concealed zip sits below the waist, working alongside the tie fastening at the neck to keep the dress secure.
Is this dress suitable for younger children?
The smallest size covers age 4. Since the back is open and the neckline ties rather than being a simple pull-on style, this dress suits a child who can stay reasonably still while being dressed, more than a very young toddler.
Does it fit true to size?
It fits true to the size chart above. Since this is a fitted, floor length style, measuring your daughter’s chest and waist is recommended rather than relying on age alone.
