A full floral lace front panel, long sleeves, and a size range that reaches right up to 16 years
Most boleros put their detail at the collar. This one goes further. The entire front body is covered in a beautiful floral lace panel, creating a look that catches the eye from across the room without a single bead or embellishment in sight. Clean, considered, and genuinely striking.
Available in white and black, with sizes running from 2 all the way up to 16 years, this girls lace front bolero jacket is one of the most versatile cover-ups in our range. It works for weddings, parties, school performances, christenings, and any occasion in between.

The Lace Front Panel Changes Everything
On most boleros, lace is reserved for the collar or a small trim. Here it takes centre stage. The entire front body of this bolero is made from a floral lace fabric, with a delicate pattern of flowers and leaves visible across the panel. It gives the piece a visual richness that goes well beyond what the price suggests, and it photographs beautifully under natural and indoor lighting alike.
The sleeves and back are made from a soft plain fabric, which keeps the silhouette clean and stops the lace from overwhelming the dress beneath. The contrast between the textured lace front and the smooth plain sleeves is what gives this bolero its distinctive look. Layered over a white flower girl dress, the white version creates an all-over lace effect that is genuinely elegant. The black version is a completely different mood altogether.
Why the Black Version Matters
Black is rare in girls bolero jackets, which is exactly why this one is worth having. It opens up the cover-up to a much wider range of occasions and dress colours. A black bolero over a red, navy, or floral party dress looks sharp and intentional rather than mismatched. It suits modern and non-traditional weddings, evening celebrations, school concerts, ballet recitals, and any event where white or cream simply would not work.
For parents who want one cover-up that can be worn across multiple occasions and outfits, the black version of this bolero is a smart buy. It pairs just as well with girls party dresses as it does with formal wear, which means it gets worn again long after the occasion it was bought for.
Available Colours
The white option suits any occasion where a clean, traditional look is expected, working especially well over a pink flower girl dress where the contrast reads beautifully in photos. The black gives parents a cover-up that can genuinely be used across different outfits and events, making it one of the better value buys in our range if you need something that works beyond a single occasion.
A Size Range That Covers Everyone
Where most boleros in our range go up to 10 years, this one reaches 16. That makes it suitable for older girls and teenagers who still need a smart cover-up but have grown out of the smaller sizes. Whether your daughter is 3 or 15, there is a size here that fits, and the style works at any age without looking too young or too mature.
For help with sizing, our girls size guide has everything you need. We also recommend measuring rather than ordering by age, since fit can vary significantly between children of the same age group.
When to Wear It
The white version is a natural choice for weddings, christenings, first communions, and any occasion where the dress code calls for something formal and light. The black version broadens this considerably, covering school performances, birthday parties, proms for younger girls, recitals, and family events.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ages does this bolero fit?
From 2 years up to 16 years. This is one of the widest size ranges in our bolero collection, making it suitable for toddlers right through to teenagers. Always measure before ordering rather than going by age alone.
What makes this bolero different from the others in the range?
The full floral lace front panel is the main difference. Rather than lace just at the collar, this bolero has a complete lace section covering the entire front body. It also comes in black, which none of the other styles do, and it runs up to size 16 rather than stopping at 10.
Is the black version suitable for a wedding?
Yes, depending on the wedding. Black works well for modern, non-traditional, and dark-themed weddings. It also suits school performances, formal parties, recitals, and smart casual events where white or cream would not fit the colour scheme.
Which colour should I choose?
White suits traditional weddings, christenings, and formal events. Black is the more versatile choice if you need a cover-up that will be worn across multiple occasions and outfits. If the dress your child is wearing is colourful or dark, black is usually the better match.
Will it fit over a flower girl or party dress?
Yes. The open-front cropped design sits neatly over most dress styles. The lace front panel layers cleanly over both fitted and full-skirted dresses without adding bulk or covering the skirt.
How should I wash it?
Hand wash only in cool water with a mild detergent. Handle the lace front panel gently. Do not bleach. Lay flat to dry to keep the shape and lace pattern intact.
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?
