A lightweight, sweet cover-up built for summer occasions and warm weather weddings
When the sun is out and the venue is warm, a heavy cover-up is the last thing a flower girl needs. This girls short sleeve pearl lace bolero jacket gives her that polished, dressed-up look without the extra warmth of long sleeves. Light, soft, and pretty, it is the kind of piece that stays on all day without complaint.
Designed for girls aged 2 to 10, it shares the same beautifully detailed lace collar and bead accents as our long sleeve version, but with short puff sleeves that keep things cool and easy to wear throughout a summer ceremony and reception.

Light Enough for Summer, Pretty Enough for Any Occasion
The short puff sleeves are what set this bolero apart. They add a sweet, feminine touch at the shoulder without covering the arms fully, which makes a real difference on a warm summer’s day. Your daughter stays comfortable whether she is sitting through an outdoor ceremony, running around at the reception, or posing for family photos in the garden.
Despite the lighter design, the bolero still has real presence. The lace collar is layered and decorated with pearl bead accents that catch the light and give the neckline a polished, special occasion finish. It looks like it cost far more than it did, which is exactly what you want when every detail of the day is being photographed.
A Collar That Does All the Work
The standout feature is the lace collar, which sits across the neckline and shoulders with pearl bead accents scattered through it. It frames the face beautifully in photos and pulls the whole outfit together in a way that a plain shrug simply cannot. The single button at the centre holds it all in place neatly without any fuss.
The cropped cut means the dress underneath is never hidden. Whether your daughter is wearing a full-volume white flower girl dress or a more fitted style, the bolero sits above the waist and lets the skirt do its thing. It adds coverage without taking anything away from the overall look.
Available in Three Colours
Having three colour options makes it much easier to coordinate with the rest of the wedding party. The cream pairs naturally with ivory and champagne dresses, the white gives a crisp, fresh contrast with a pink flower girl dress, and the pink suits a softer, blush-toned wedding palette. All three carry the same lace collar and pearl bead detail.
When to Wear It
This short sleeve girls bolero jacket for weddings is a natural choice for summer ceremonies, outdoor receptions, and garden parties where a long sleeve cover-up would feel too warm. It also works well for christenings, birthday parties, school performances, and family occasions where a little extra smartness is needed without a full coat or jacket.

Care Instructions
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid rubbing the lace collar and bead detailing directly. Never use bleach. Lay flat to dry where possible to keep the shape and collar trim in good condition 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.
What colours does it come in?
It is available in three colours: soft pink, classic white, and cream. All three have the same lace collar, pearl bead detailing, and single button fastening.
Is this suitable for a summer wedding?
Yes, this is one of its best uses. The short puff sleeves keep things cool and comfortable, which makes it a better choice than the long sleeve version for outdoor ceremonies and warm weather venues.
What is the difference between this and the long sleeve version?
This version has short puff sleeves, making it suited to warmer weather. The long sleeve version provides more warmth and coverage, which works better for indoor venues or cooler days. Both have the same lace collar, bead detail, button, and cropped fit.
Will it fit over a flower girl dress?
Yes. The open-front cropped design sits neatly over most dress styles without adding bulk or covering the skirt. It works well over both fitted and full-skirted dresses.
Which colour should I choose?
White works with almost any dress and is the most versatile choice. Cream pairs beautifully with ivory and champagne dresses. Pink suits blush and white dresses for a softer, coordinated look. If you are unsure, contact us and we will help you decide.
How should I wash it?
Hand wash only, in cool water with a gentle detergent. Do not bleach. Be careful around the lace collar and bead detailing. Air dry flat to maintain the 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.
