A fully sequined bodice, a voluminous multi-layered tulle skirt and a fabric rose detail at the waist, available in six colours and sizes from 12 months to 13 years
Few dresses have the instant wow factor of a fully sequined bodice paired with a voluminous tulle skirt. This girls sequin party dress delivers exactly that, at a price that makes it one of the best value sparkly dresses available in the UK for this age range. At £26.99, it covers sizes from 12 months all the way through to 13 years, making it a genuinely practical choice across a huge range of occasions and ages.
The entire bodice is covered in densely packed sequins that catch and reflect light beautifully as the wearer moves. At the waist, a fabric rose detail adds a soft, feminine touch, and at the back a wide satin ribbon ties into a full bow that finishes the dress neatly while also giving a small amount of waist adjustability. The skirt is constructed from three layers including two mesh layers, a layered satin underlayer and a netting lining, giving it real structure and a generous, rounded silhouette that holds its shape. The hemline has a delicate ruffle edge that adds movement and detail without being overly fussy.
Six Colours to Choose From
The dress is available in six colour options, from soft and sweet through to bold and striking. All share the same construction, sequin bodice, rose detail and tulle skirt, so the choice is simply a matter of which colour suits the occasion and your child best.
The deep pink and red versions have a rich, vibrant finish that stands out beautifully in photographs and under party lighting. The gold version has a more classic, refined look that suits weddings and formal events particularly well. Light pink is the softest and most versatile option, while royal and sky blue offer a cooler, sophisticated feel that is less commonly seen at children’s parties, making them a great way to stand out from the crowd.

Construction and Detail
The bodice is lined so that sequins do not sit directly against skin, which makes a real difference to comfort during extended wear. The round neckline sits comfortably without gaping, and the sleeveless cut keeps the arms free for dancing and play. The hidden zip runs down the centre back from the neckline, making it easy to get the dress on and off even for wriggly younger children.
The fabric rose at the front waist is non-removable and stitched securely to the satin waistband. On the dark pink version, two roses sit side by side, while the gold version features a single larger bloom with a leaf accent alongside it, giving each colourway a slightly individual character. The satin bow at the back ties on top of the waistband and can be adjusted in size and position to suit different waist measurements.
The skirt layers build up to a very full ball-gown silhouette that photographs strikingly. The outer mesh layers give it a light, airy finish while the satin and netting underneath provide the structure that holds the shape. The ruffled hemline at the bottom tier adds movement and a sense of occasion that flat-hemmed skirts simply cannot match. This dress pairs well with our little girl princess shoes in gold for the gold version, or our girls sparkly shoes in pink for the pink versions.

Measure the chest at the widest point and the body length from the top of the shoulder to the desired hem length. If your child falls between sizes, size up for comfort. You can also refer to our girls size guide for a full step-by-step measuring walkthrough.

How to Care for This Dress
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry or machine wash as this can damage the sequins and tulle layers. Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. The satin bow can be untied before washing and retied once the dress is dry. For general advice on caring for occasion wear, our guide to caring for kids dresses has all the key steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the sequins scratchy against the skin?
No. The bodice is lined so the sequins sit on the outside of the fabric and do not make direct contact with the skin. The lining is soft against the body and makes the dress comfortable for extended wear during parties and events. Most children find it just as comfortable to wear as a regular dress once they have it on.
Is this dress suitable for a flower girl at a wedding?
Yes, it works very well for this. The gold version in particular suits wedding colour palettes beautifully, and the structured tulle skirt gives it a formal, occasion-ready appearance. The deep pink and light pink versions also work well for weddings with those colour themes. Because sizes run from 12 months to 13 years, you can dress a wide range of flower girls in matching styles. For more flower girl ideas, browse our flower girl dresses collection.
Is the tulle skirt stiff or soft?
The skirt has structure but is not rigid. The three-layer construction with netting underneath gives it a full, rounded shape that holds well on its own, while the outer mesh layers remain lightweight and fluid. It twirls beautifully and holds its shape throughout the day without needing an additional underskirt, though one can be added if you prefer extra volume for a very formal event.
Can older girls wear this dress to a school disco or prom?
Yes. The larger sizes, particularly 10 through to 13 years, work well for school discos, end of year events and junior prom-style occasions. The fully sequined bodice and voluminous tulle skirt create a genuinely glamorous look for older girls that competes with much more expensive alternatives. The gold and royal blue versions tend to be the most popular choices for this age group.
My daughter is between two sizes. Which should I order?
Always size up when in doubt. The satin bow at the back can be tied more or less tightly to adjust the waist fit, giving a small amount of flexibility. A larger size also means she will get more wear from the dress as she grows, which is worth considering given the wide range of occasions this dress suits.
Can this dress be worn in winter?
Yes. The sleeveless design works year round when layered correctly. In cooler weather, a fitted long-sleeved top or white bodysuit underneath works well for younger children, while a neat blazer or smart cardigan over the top suits older girls. The skirt is full enough to accommodate thermal tights or leggings underneath without losing its silhouette.
Does this dress make a good birthday or Christmas gift?
It makes a wonderful gift, especially for girls who love to dress up. The visual impact of the sequin bodice and full tulle skirt makes it feel genuinely special to receive, and because it comes in so many sizes and colours, it is easy to choose something appropriate for the child in question. Pair it with a set of our low-heeled girls party shoes for a complete outfit gift.
