Girls Knee-Length Lace Bodice Party Dress with Long Sleeves, Layered Tulle Skirt, Scalloped Lace Hem and Removable Back Bow | 6 Colours | Ages 1 to 10 Years
The Blossom Lace Dress is one of those party dresses that works from age 1 through to 10 without looking too babyish for older girls or too grown-up for toddlers. It has a full floral lace bodice with matching long lace sleeves, a layered tulle skirt with a scalloped crochet lace hem trim, and a large removable back bow made from the same lace as the dress with a satin ribbon knot and tails. It is a knee-length girls party dress that photographs well at any occasion without requiring accessories to fill it out.
The long sleeves are the feature that makes it work across all four seasons. For birthday parties in spring or summer, the lace is lightweight enough to stay comfortable in a warm room. For autumn and winter events, the full sleeve coverage removes the need for a cardigan over the top. The bow is removable, which means the dress can be worn with or without it depending on the occasion, and also makes washing easier. Available in six colours including pink, white, hot pink, light blue, purple, and red, ages 1 to 10.
Key Features
The Removable Bow: Why It Matters
The back bow on this dress is not stitched permanently into the seam. It attaches at the waist and can be detached. This is more useful than it might first seem for three reasons.
For younger children aged 1 to 3, the bow adds visual impact in photographs but can get in the way during sitting, eating, and general movement. Being able to remove it after the photographs are taken makes the rest of the event more comfortable without permanently changing the dress.
For washing, removing the bow means the satin ribbon tails do not get tangled or crumpled in the wash. The lace wings and satin can be hand washed separately and dried flat, which keeps the bow holding its shape for reuse.
For older girls aged 7 to 10 who want to wear the dress but feel the bow is too babyish, removing it gives a cleaner, simpler silhouette while keeping the full lace bodice and scalloped hem detail that make the dress look special.
What This Dress Is Made For
Birthday parties are the most common occasion for this dress, and it suits them from the youngest toddler’s first birthday through to a ten-year-old’s party where something smarter than a casual dress is wanted. The wide colour range means it can be matched to a birthday party theme, a wedding colour scheme, or simply the child’s favourite colour.
At weddings as a flower girl, the dress works best for more relaxed or informal ceremonies where a full-length ball gown would be too much. The knee length and the lace details give it a formal quality without the scale of a full gown. For a spring or summer garden wedding in particular, the lighter tulle and lace work well against an outdoor backdrop. For more formal weddings requiring a floor-length option, our Lace Princess Gown is a fuller alternative.
The long lace sleeves make this dress suitable across all seasons without modification. In spring and summer the lace is light enough to stay comfortable indoors. In autumn and winter the sleeve coverage means no cardigan is needed. For very cold outdoor settings, a simple white or colour-matched cardigan over the top is all that is needed to add warmth between venues.
Available Colours
The dress is available in six colours. In each version, the lace bodice, sleeves, and hem trim are in the same colour as the tulle skirt, creating a fully coordinated look throughout.
About the Lace and Construction
The lace on this dress is an all-over continuous floral pattern rather than a lace applique or a lace panel. It covers the full bodice from neckline to waist seam without any plain sections within it, and the same lace continues seamlessly into both sleeves. Up close, the pattern shows individual flower and leaf shapes with raised embroidery between them. From a distance it reads as a solid, textured fabric with a gentle sheen.
The scalloped crochet lace trim at the hem is a separate piece from the bodice lace. It has a finer, more open pattern with a distinct scalloped edge, and is stitched to the outer layer of the tulle hem. It creates a delicate contrast between the finer hem trim and the denser bodice lace, giving the dress different detail at both ends.
The tulle skirt has multiple layers that sit over a satin underlining. The layers give the skirt fullness and a bounce to its movement without being stiff. It twirls well and holds its shape during sitting without pressing flat. For younger children who will be moving, running, and sitting through a long event, the skirt stays comfortable without needing to be adjusted constantly.
Styling Tips
Hair
The round neckline and lace bodice frame the face without covering it, which means most hairstyles work well with this dress. For younger children, simple pigtails, a half-up style, or a small clip is all that is needed. For older girls aged 6 to 10, a low bun or braided style with a small hair accessory in the same colour as the dress is a clean pairing. A good detangling brush used before getting the dress on makes styling much easier and avoids tugging at the lace sleeves while working on the hair.
Shoes
White, ivory, silver, or gold shoes work with all six colour options. For younger children, soft-sole shoes or T-bar shoes with a small buckle are the most practical. For older girls, a low block heel or flat patent leather shoe adds a little formality for wedding and party settings. Our girls shoe size guide covers all age sizes if you need help.
Accessories
The all-over lace and the back bow carry the dress on their own. For younger children, no accessories are needed beyond a simple hair clip. For older girls, a thin bracelet or small stud earrings in the same tone as the dress keep the look cohesive. Avoid heavy necklaces as the round lace neckline already fills the chest area.

Size Guide
Use your child’s height and compare it to the chart below. Children of the same age vary considerably in height, so height is a more reliable guide than age alone for this dress. Our full girls size guide has additional measurements if you need them, and our guide on how to measure children for clothes explains the process clearly. When between two sizes, order the larger one.
| Age | Height (cm) | Weight (lbs) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 2 years | 80 to 90 | 18 to 28 |
| 2 to 3 years | 90 to 100 | 26 to 34 |
| 3 to 4 years | 100 to 110 | 30 to 35 |
| 4 to 5 years | 110 to 120 | 34 to 45 |
| 5 to 6 years | 120 to 130 | 45 to 55 |
| 7 to 8 years | 130 to 140 | 55 to 65 |
| 9 to 10 years | 140 to 150 | 65 to 85 |
Material and Care
Care Instructions
Remove the back bow before washing so the satin ribbon does not crumple in the wash. The bow can be hand washed separately and dried flat to keep its shape. For guidance on keeping lace children’s dresses in good condition, our article on how to care for lace covers the process, and our guide on caring for kids dresses is useful for the tulle skirt layers specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the back bow removable?
Yes. The bow attaches at the back waist and can be detached. This is useful for younger children who find it uncomfortable during long events, for older girls who prefer a simpler look, and for washing, where removing the bow prevents the satin ribbon tails from creasing. The bow can be hand washed separately and dried flat to keep its shape.
What colours is this dress available in?
The dress comes in six colours: Pink, White, Light Blue, Purple, Red, and Hot Pink. In each colour, the lace bodice, sleeves, scalloped hem trim, and back bow all match the tulle skirt, creating a fully coordinated look throughout.
Is this dress suitable for a young toddler aged 1 to 2?
Yes. The soft cotton blend lining means the lace does not sit against the baby’s skin, and the A-line skirt gives plenty of room to move. The hidden zip at the back makes dressing and undressing straightforward without pulling the dress over the head. The back bow can be removed during the event if it gets in the way.
Does the lace scratch or feel uncomfortable?
The lace bodice and sleeves are lined with a soft cotton blend, so the lace fabric does not sit directly against the skin at any point. The lining covers the full inner surface of the bodice and sleeves. For very young or sensitive children, the lining provides a comfortable barrier throughout the day.
Can this dress be worn as a flower girl dress at a wedding?
Yes, for informal and semi-formal weddings. The knee-length silhouette and the lace details give it a formal quality suitable for a wedding guest or flower girl role at a relaxed or outdoor ceremony. For weddings requiring a floor-length gown, our Lace Princess Gown collection includes full-length options with matching long lace sleeves.
How do I choose the right size?
Use your child’s height and compare it to the size chart on this page. Height is a more reliable guide than age for this dress as the skirt length depends on how tall she is. When between two sizes, always order the larger one. The A-line cut and gathered waist mean a slightly larger size still hangs naturally.
Can I return or exchange the dress if the size is not right?
Yes. Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase as long as the dress is unworn, in original condition, and all tags are still attached. For a size or colour exchange, email contact@fbargainsgalore.co.uk before returning and we will arrange it without an additional delivery charge.
