A cosy knit cover-up with a dressed-up lace collar, built for cooler occasions and colder venues
Some weddings call for more than a light cotton cover-up. If the venue is cool, the ceremony is indoors, or the occasion falls in autumn or spring, your flower girl needs something that actually keeps her warm without looking out of place. This girls knit lace collar bolero jacket does exactly that.
Made from a soft open-weave knit fabric with a beautifully detailed lace collar and pearl bead accents, it gives you the warmth of a knitted cardigan with the polished, occasion-ready look of a bolero. Available in white and cream for girls aged 2 to 10.

Where This Bolero Earns Its Place
The knit fabric is what sets this bolero apart from the rest of our range. Where a cotton or satin bolero takes the edge off a light breeze, this one genuinely keeps a child warm. The open waffle-weave knit is soft and slightly stretchy, making it comfortable to wear for long periods without feeling restricted. It breathes well enough to avoid overheating indoors, yet provides real coverage on a chilly morning or in an air-conditioned venue.
That balance makes it a practical choice for spring and autumn weddings, indoor ceremonies where the heating is unreliable, or christenings where a newborn sibling will be present and the room temperature is kept warmer for the baby. Your flower girl stays comfortable from the moment she arrives to the last dance of the evening.
The Collar Makes It Special Occasion Ready
The knit body could easily look casual without the right detail at the neckline. The lace collar changes that entirely. It sits across the shoulders and neckline in the same style as the rest of our bolero range, with pearl bead accents woven through the lace that catch the light and give the piece a dressed-up, occasion-ready quality.
It pairs particularly well with a white flower girl dress in the same shade, where the knit texture adds depth to the outfit without clashing. The single button at the centre front fastens neatly and keeps the open collar sitting correctly throughout the day.
Available Colours
Both shades are understated and easy to coordinate. The white is a clean, bright option for traditional wedding palettes. The cream has a warmer, softer tone that works especially well alongside ivory or champagne dresses, where a stark white might create too much contrast. If you are pairing this with a pink flower girl dress, either shade works well depending on how warm or cool the overall colour palette is.
When to Wear It
This girls knit bolero cardigan works best for occasions where warmth is as important as appearance. Autumn and spring weddings, indoor winter ceremonies, christenings in cooler months, and formal events in the evening are all situations where the knit fabric earns its place. It can also be worn over party dresses for birthday celebrations or school concerts without looking out of context.

Size Guide
Children’s sizing varies between brands, so please measure your child before ordering rather than going by age alone. Use a soft tape measure and compare the results to the chart below. If your child falls between two sizes, size up for a comfortable fit, particularly over a dress with a fuller skirt.
| Age | Chest (cm) | Length (cm) | Sleeve (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-3 years | 56 | 22 | 32 |
| 3-4 years | 60 | 24 | 34 |
| 4-5 years | 64 | 26 | 36 |
| 5-6 years | 68 | 28 | 38 |
| 6-7 years | 72 | 30 | 41 |
| 7-8 years | 76 | 32 | 44 |
| 9-10 years | 80 | 34 | 47 |
Care Instructions
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the knit fabric, as this can cause it to lose its shape. Handle the lace collar gently and never use bleach. Lay flat to dry rather than hanging, which helps the knit keep its structure across multiple wears.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages does this bolero fit?
It is available from 2 years up to 10 years. Use the size chart above and measure your child before ordering, as sizing can vary between children even within the same age group.
Is this bolero warmer than a standard bolero?
Yes. The knit construction makes it noticeably warmer than a cotton or satin bolero. It is a good choice for cooler indoor venues, autumn and spring weddings, or any occasion where your child needs genuine warmth alongside a dressed-up look.
How does this compare to the other boleros in the range?
This bolero has a soft knit fabric body with an open waffle-weave texture, which makes it warmer and more textured than our smooth cotton boleros. The lace collar and bead detail are the same across all three styles. The short sleeve cotton version suits summer and warm weather. The long sleeve cotton version works year-round. This knit version is best for cooler conditions.
What colours does it come in?
White and cream. White suits most wedding themes and dress colours. Cream pairs naturally with ivory, champagne, and blush dresses where a pure white might create too much contrast.
Will it fit over a flower girl dress?
Yes. The open-front cropped design sits neatly over most dress styles. The knit has a slight stretch that makes it easy to put on over a fuller skirt without pulling or bunching.
How should I wash it?
Hand wash only in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not wring the knit fabric. Handle the lace collar gently and never use bleach. Lay flat to dry to keep the knit in shape.
Is there free UK delivery?
Yes. Free UK delivery applies to all orders over £13. At £18.99, this bolero qualifies automatically. Delivery typically takes 5 to 20 working days.
Can I return it if the size is not right?
Yes. Returns are accepted within 30 days of ordering, provided the item is unused and in its original condition with tags intact. Contact us through the Contact Us page or by email to arrange a return.
