Girls Ivory Long Satin Flower Girl Dress with Illusion Lace Sleeves, Pearl Button Back and Embellished Pink Sash for Ages 2 to 14 Years
This Ivory Long Satin Flower Girl Dress is the most formal and most bridal gown in our entire collection. At £149.99 it sits at the premium end of our range, and the construction justifies it: a floor-length ivory satin skirt with side pockets, short illusion lace sleeves with scalloped applique edges, an embellished pearl and rhinestone waistband on a blush pink sash, a full illusion lace back with a column of pearl buttons, and a large pink satin bow with long trailing tails. Every detail is considered, and every angle of the dress photographs at the level of an adult bridal gown scaled for a child.
The most striking design decision is the contrast between the front and the back. From the front the dress is deliberately restrained: a clean plain ivory satin bodice with only the lace sleeve and neckline trim and the jewelled sash providing detail. From behind, the entire upper back is covered in sheer illusion lace applique in a sweeping scrolling pattern, making the back of this dress one of the most photogenic elements of the entire look. In ceremony photographs taken from behind as the flower girl walks away from the camera, the lace back, pearl buttons, pink bow, and trailing satin skirt create an image that most families frame.
Available in ivory and white, for girls aged 2 to 14 years. For brides looking for a flower girl gown that reads as genuinely bridal rather than simply occasion-appropriate, this is the dress. For more on choosing the right flower girl dress, visit our ultimate guide to flower girl dresses.
Five Details That Define This Gown

The entire back bodice is sheer illusion lace applique in a sweeping scrolling pattern, creating a breathtaking contrast with the plain ivory satin front
A column of small pearl buttons runs down the centre back through the lace, adding a delicate bridal detail at the fastening point
Two discreet pockets in the satin skirt on both sides, a rare and genuinely practical detail for a formal gown that older girls especially appreciate

Ivory or White: Which to Choose
Warm ivory tone that pairs naturally with ivory and champagne bridal gowns and photographs beautifully under warm candlelit and church lighting. The most popular choice for traditional weddings and the variant shown in the product images.
Clean bright white that works best alongside a white bridal gown and suits modern venues with cooler, brighter lighting. Choose white if the bride is wearing white rather than ivory to avoid a visible colour mismatch in photographs.
Design Details Worth Knowing
The Front: Restraint as a Design Choice
The front bodice of this dress is deliberately plain. The ivory satin is smooth and unembellished between the neckline trim and the sash, with no lace, beading, or embroidery applied to the satin panel itself. This is a considered design choice: by keeping the front clean, the jewelled sash becomes the natural focal point of the front of the dress, and the full floor-length satin skirt reads as elegant rather than busy. The lace trim along the neckline edge connects the sleeve and bodice visually without adding clutter.
The Illusion Lace Sleeves and Neckline
The short sleeves are made from sheer mesh with white scrolling lace applique laid on top. The lace motifs are open, scrolling baroque-style shapes with good definition and scalloped edges at the sleeve cuffs. The same lace applique continues along the neckline as a border trim, creating a continuous lace detail from sleeve to neckline on both sides. From the front this gives the upper bodice a delicate, bridal quality without covering the clean satin surface below. From image 3 the sleeve detail is exceptionally clear: the skin shows softly through the sheer mesh between the lace pieces, exactly as in an illusion sleeve on an adult bridal gown.
The Pink Sash and Embellished Waistband
The wide blush pink satin sash sits at the high waist, spanning the full circumference of the dress. At the centre front, an intricate applique piece is sewn onto the sash, combining pearls, rhinestones, and sequins in a symmetrical floral and leaf arrangement. The applique has a dimensional quality: the pearls and stones are raised above the sash surface and catch light from multiple directions. This is the most eye-catching element of the dress from the front and draws the eye immediately in photographs. At the back, the sash ends in a large structured bow with long trailing pink satin tails that fall down the back of the ivory skirt.
The Illusion Lace Back
The back bodice is the most distinctive feature of this dress and the detail that makes it truly special. While the front is plain satin, the entire back bodice from the neckline to the waist is covered in sheer illusion lace applique in a dense, sweeping scrolling pattern. The lace motifs are large and elaborate, covering the full back panel with a design that reads as ornate and bridal from any distance. The skin shows through the sheer mesh beneath the lace in the areas between the applique pieces, giving the back a light, dimensional quality that a solid lace panel would not achieve. A column of small pearl buttons runs in a straight line down the centre back from the neckline to the waist, providing the fastening while adding a refined detail that is visible clearly in photographs from behind.
The Back Bow
Below the pearl buttons, at the back waist where the sash meets, a large structured pink satin bow sits with long trailing ribbon tails. The tails fall down the back of the skirt to below the knee in the larger sizes, visible in the full back-view photograph. Because the skirt is plain ivory satin with no other decoration, the pink bow and trailing tails are prominently visible against it, adding the final colour accent at the back to mirror the embellished sash at the front.
The Satin Skirt with Pockets
The floor-length skirt is cut in a full A-line shape from the same ivory satin as the bodice, giving the dress a consistent, unified appearance from waist to hem. The satin has good weight and drape, flowing naturally when the child walks and creating the kind of movement that photographs well from any angle. The skirt has a small sweep at the back, extending slightly beyond the floor line in larger sizes to create a subtle train effect. Most notably, there are two discreet side pockets set into the skirt seams, clearly shown in the product images. Pockets on a formal gown are a genuine luxury detail and one that older girls in the upper size range particularly appreciate on a long ceremony day.

What This Gown Is Perfect For
This gown is specifically suited to formal and traditional weddings where the flower girl role is a prominent part of the ceremony and the dress will be photographed extensively. The full illusion lace back, pearl buttons, trailing satin skirt, and pink sash bow all create the kind of rear-view wedding photograph that is immediately recognisable as a set piece. Church weddings, stately home venues, and any formal setting with a long aisle will showcase this dress at its best. It is also a natural choice for holy communion for older girls, where a full-length satin gown with lace sleeves is the most traditional and formal option available in our range.
