White & Ivory | All-Over Rose Lace | Long Sheer Sleeves | Ages 1 to 12 Years
If you have been searching for a boho flower girl dress that looks like it belongs in a woodland clearing or a garden ceremony, this is it. The Wild Rose is a full-length lace dress with long sheer sleeves, a flowing skirt, and a large sash bow at the back. It has a soft, romantic feel that works beautifully in natural outdoor settings and photographs in a way that very few dresses at this price do.
At £69.99, in white or ivory, and available from age 1 right up to 12 years, it is one of the few dresses on the market that can genuinely dress a toddler and an older girl in matching styles for the same occasion.
What This Dress Actually Looks Like
The entire dress, from the sleeves to the skirt hem, is made from sheer lace in a rose flower pattern. It is not just a lace overlay on plain fabric. The rose pattern runs continuously through every panel, including the sleeves, giving it that cohesive, head-to-toe lace look that photographs so well against greenery and natural light.
The sleeves are long and sheer, coming right to the wrist. They add coverage without adding weight, so the dress still feels light and airy to wear. The neckline is a simple round neck that sits close to the collar without being restrictive. At the back, there is a small keyhole button closure at the nape of the neck, visible in the detail shots, which makes getting the dress on and off very straightforward with younger children.
At the waist, a satin sash is included and ties into a large, full bow at the back. The bow is generous in size and sits prominently, creating a clean focal point that looks lovely in photographs taken from behind.
The skirt is full-length and layered. The outer lace falls in soft tiers, with a slightly more pronounced ruffle at the hem that adds movement and texture. Beneath the lace sits a cotton underlining, which gives the skirt its shape and body. This is the detail that separates the quality versions of this dress from cheaper alternatives being sold on other platforms. The underlining is substantial, properly stitched, and visible in the fabric close-up image above. Without it, the skirt collapses flat. With it, the dress moves the way you see it moving in these photographs.

A Note on Quality
There are copies of this dress being sold across various marketplaces at lower price points. Most of them are not the same dress. The lace is thinner, the cotton underlining is absent or minimal, and the construction shows it in person.
This is the original version. The cotton underlining you can see in the fabric close-up image is the key difference: it gives the skirt its volume and weight. On cheaper versions, the skirt hangs flat. On this one, it holds its shape and moves as you see it in the photographs.

Who This Dress Is Right For
Brides planning outdoor or boho weddings: garden, woodland, barn, beach, and country house ceremonies are where this dress comes into its own. The rose lace and flowing silhouette fit naturally in outdoor settings and photograph well in soft, natural light. If you are also dressing older girls in the wedding party, our junior bridesmaid dress collection offers coordinating options.
Parents of multiple siblings: because the size range runs from age 1 to 12, you can dress a baby and an older child in matching versions of the same dress. The photographs showing both a toddler and a pre-teen together in the same style are a good example of how well this works in practice.
Families planning christenings or first communions: the full-length white or ivory lace is exactly the traditional style for both occasions. It is a more affordable option than many specialist christening gowns and works for older children where baby gowns are no longer appropriate.
Photography-focused families: this dress was clearly built with outdoor portrait photography in mind. Natural light, greenery, and movement all work in its favour. If a photoshoot is the main purpose, the ivory version tends to photograph warmer and softer than white.
For broader guidance on choosing the right dress for your event, our complete flower girl dress guide covers colour matching, ordering timelines, and seasonal considerations.
Styling Tips
For garden and spring weddings: pair with a simple flower crown or fresh floral headband, which complements the rose lace perfectly. Barefoot sandals or soft ballet flats work well for outdoor settings where heels are impractical. The ivory version is particularly flattering in natural daylight.
For autumn and winter weddings: the long sleeves already provide coverage, but a lace bolero jacket layered over the top adds warmth for outdoor ceremonies in cooler months. The ivory bolero options available in our store sit seamlessly over the lace without covering the bow detail.
For christenings and first communions: the white version with a simple pearl headband or white ribbon in the hair is a very traditional look. Keep accessories minimal. The lace detail does all the work on its own.

Size Guide
This dress runs in specific sizes rather than every age, so please check the table below carefully before ordering. There is no separate size for 7, 9, or 11 years, so for those ages, measure your child and use the closest size up. Our full girls size guide gives additional guidance, and our step-by-step article on how to take children’s clothing measurements will help you measure accurately at home.
All measurements are in centimetres. Please allow plus or minus 3 cm as a normal variation due to hand measurement.

Note: 1 cm = 0.39 inch. If your child falls between two available sizes, always size up. Contact us before ordering if you need help selecting the right size.
Care Instructions
Frequently Asked Questions
White is bright and crisp. It works well for ceremonies where the bridal party is in pure white, or for christening and communion occasions where tradition calls for a clean white.
Ivory is a warm, slightly off-white tone. It photographs softly in natural light and suits outdoor settings particularly well, complementing greenery and warm tones better than pure white. Ivory is the more popular choice for boho and garden weddings. If you are unsure, contact us and we can advise based on your setting and colour scheme.
The main difference is in the construction. This version has a full cotton underlining inside the skirt that gives it volume, weight, and the flowing movement you see in the photographs. Cheaper versions typically either omit this underlining entirely or use a very thin substitute, which means the skirt hangs flat and loses the shape seen in the images.
The lace quality also differs. On this version, the rose pattern is well-defined and consistent throughout. On lower-quality copies, the pattern is often faint, irregular, or printed rather than woven into the lace.
Yes, it works well for autumn and winter ceremonies. The long sleeves cover the arms fully, providing more warmth than a sleeveless or short-sleeve dress. For outdoor ceremonies in cold weather, a lace bolero jacket layered over the top adds extra warmth without covering the bow or disrupting the overall look. Options are in the “Complete the Look” section below.
This dress comes in specific sizes and does not include every year. There is no dedicated size for ages 7, 9, or 11. For those ages, measure your child’s chest, waist, and height and use the next size up in the table. The sash at the back can be tied tighter to adjust the fit at the waist. Always size up rather than down if you are between measurements.
Yes. The full-length white or ivory lace is a classic choice for both occasions. The white version in particular suits a traditional christening or communion aesthetic. For a baby or toddler, the 1 to 2 year size works well. For older children attending a first communion, the 6 to 12 year sizes are well suited. Keep accessories simple. The lace does the work on its own.
Yes, and this is one of the main reasons families buy this dress. The size range starts at 1 to 2 years and goes up to 12 years, so a toddler and an older child can wear matching versions of the same dress at the same wedding or photoshoot. The photographs showing both a baby and a pre-teen wearing it together are a good example of how cohesive this looks in practice.
For outdoor or boho settings, soft flat shoes, ballet flats, or simple Mary Jane shoes work best. Barefoot sandals are also popular for beach or garden ceremonies. For christenings and communions, white or ivory flat shoes with a simple strap are a traditional pairing. Shoe options are listed in the “Complete the Look” section below.
Hand wash only in cool water. Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. If ironing is needed, use a very low heat setting with a cloth between the iron and the lace. Full care instructions are in the Care section above.
