Girls Full-Length Lace Ball Gown with Rhinestone Bodice, Tulle Skirt and Sweep Train | 6 Colours | Ages 4 to 16 Years
There are flower girl dresses, and then there are gowns. The Princess Bloom Gown sits firmly in the second category. It is a full-length flower girl ball gown with a rhinestone-scattered lace bodice, a multi-layered tulle skirt, a lace-trimmed sweep train, and three satin bows cascading down the back from waist to hem. The kind of dress that makes everyone at the ceremony look twice.
What sets it apart at £37.99 is the level of construction detail. The bodice lace is embroidered in a scrolling floral pattern with individual rhinestones and sequins hand-placed across it. The waistband carries its own separate lace applique strip with rhinestone accents. The hem is finished in a deep crochet lace floral border that mirrors the bodice work. In six colours and sizes from age 4 to 16, it covers a broader age range than almost any comparable dress at this price.
Key Features
What This Dress Is Made For
This is the dress for occasions where something truly formal is called for. The ball gown silhouette, sweep train, and rhinestone detailing make it one of the most dramatic girls occasion dresses in the collection.
At weddings, the sweep train and full ball gown skirt give the flower girl a silhouette that genuinely mirrors the bride’s in miniature. It photographs at a level most parents do not expect at this price. For older girls aged 10 to 16 who want something more glamorous than a standard bridesmaid dress, the rhinestone bodice and lace hem give it the sophistication to hold its own alongside adult members of the wedding party.
For First Holy Communion, the white version with its lace bodice and floor-length skirt suits the ceremony setting and the photographic traditions that go with it. The six available colours mean it is not limited to white-only occasions. The red, pink, and champagne versions work equally well for formal birthday parties and celebrations.
This dress works across all four seasons. The fully lined tulle skirt provides more warmth than single-layer chiffon. For autumn and winter weddings, layering a lace bolero jacket adds warmth at the shoulders without covering the illusion neckline. A hoop underskirt can also be added beneath the tulle skirt if you want the ball gown volume pushed to its maximum.
Available Colours
The dress is available in six colours, each offering a different character and suited to different occasions and wedding palettes.

Construction and Detail
The bodice is where the quality of this dress shows most clearly. The lace is embroidered in a scrolling pattern of flowers, leaves, and curved stems, consistent in weight and density across the full front bodice. Individual rhinestones and sequins are placed at intervals throughout the lace, catching light without creating a solid sparkle effect. The result is subtle from a distance and genuinely detailed at close range.
At the waist, a wide satin sash in the colour of the skirt wraps the high waist seam. Across the front of this sash, a separate strip of lace applique with its own rhinestone accents is stitched, so the waistband carries as much detail as the bodice above it. The hidden zip sits within this sash at the back, so nothing interrupts the clean line of the waistband when viewed from any angle.
The skirt is built from multiple layers of soft mesh tulle. The volume is significant without requiring a separate underskirt, though one can be added if you want the skirt pushed to its maximum width. The skirt extends behind into a sweep train finished with a wide crochet lace border that mirrors the lace style of the bodice. Three satin bows are stitched down the back of the skirt at evenly spaced intervals from waist to hem, running along the centre of the train. In rear photographs, the combination of the bows, the lace hem, and the train creates a back view that is as striking as the front.

Styling Tips
Hair
The illusion mesh neckline sits high enough that most hair styles work well. A half-up style with soft curls frames the neckline without covering it. A full updo with a floral clip or tiara suits the princess-style silhouette for wedding and party settings. For younger girls, two loose braids with ribbon ties in the colour of the dress are a practical and photogenic option.
Shoes
Because the train extends beyond the hem at the back, shoes are almost entirely hidden during walking. Comfort matters more than appearance for this dress. Flat white, silver, or nude ballet flats or low-heeled sandals work well and reduce the risk of stepping on the train. See our girls shoe size guide for sizing help.
Accessories
The rhinestone bodice effectively acts as jewellery. Keep accessories minimal. A simple hairband, a small pearl bracelet, or a pair of small stud earrings for older girls is all that is needed. Avoid heavy necklaces as the illusion neckline panel fills the area where a necklace would normally sit.
Train Management
The sweep train is short enough that a young child can walk with it unaided at a slow ceremony pace, but for confident movement at a reception or party, it is worth checking that she is comfortable handling the length before the event. A brief practice walk in the dress beforehand makes a real difference.

Size Guide
This dress runs in age-based size bands rather than individual year sizes. Measure first and compare to the chart below. Our full girls size guide has additional guidance, and our article on how to measure children for clothes explains each step clearly. When between two sizes, always order the larger one, particularly for a ball gown silhouette where a tighter bodice would be uncomfortable to wear for an extended period.
Measurements are in centimetres.

Material and Care
Care Instructions
Multi-layered tulle ball gowns need careful storage as well as careful washing. Hanging the dress on a wide padded hanger prevents the tulle from compressing or creasing around the waist. For washing guidance, our article on how to clean flower girl dresses is worth reading before attempting a wash, particularly for a dress with rhinestone detailing and a crochet lace hem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this dress come with an underskirt?
No separate underskirt is included, but the multi-layered tulle construction creates substantial volume on its own. For most occasions the volume is more than sufficient. If you want the skirt pushed to its maximum fullness, a hoop underskirt can be purchased separately from our store and worn underneath the tulle layers.
What colours is this dress available in?
The dress is available in White, Champagne, Pink, Red, Purple, and Blue. Each colour shares the same lace bodice construction and satin waistband. In the coloured versions, the tulle skirt and satin sash are in the chosen colour while the lace bodice remains white or cream, creating a two-tone contrast effect as seen in the red version images.
Is the train manageable for a young child?
The sweep train is a short train rather than a full cathedral length, making it manageable for older flower girls from around age 6 upwards with a brief amount of practice. For younger girls aged 4 to 5, it is worth doing a walk-through at home before the event so she is comfortable with the length of fabric behind her. The multi-layered tulle holds the train shape well rather than dragging flat.
Are the rhinestones secure?
The rhinestones are set into the lace embroidery rather than surface-glued, which makes them more durable under normal wear. Hand washing and hang drying, rather than machine washing or tumble drying, will keep them secure over time. Avoid scrubbing the bodice directly and do not iron over the rhinestone areas.
Is this dress suitable for First Holy Communion?
Yes, the white version in particular is well suited to First Communion. The floor-length lace bodice gown is in keeping with traditional Communion dress requirements, and the full tulle skirt with lace hem creates the formal silhouette parents typically look for. The illusion neckline provides modest coverage throughout the ceremony.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your child’s bust and compare it to the size chart on this page. The dress length measurement in the chart includes the train length, so the wearable front length will be slightly shorter depending on the age size. When in doubt between two sizes, always order the larger one. The satin sash at the waist can be tied to adjust the fit slightly if needed.
Can I return the dress if it does not fit?
Yes. Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase as long as the dress is unworn, in its original condition, and all tags are still attached. For a size exchange, contact us at contact@fbargainsgalore.co.uk before returning and we will arrange it without an additional delivery charge.
Does the dress suit outdoor summer weddings as well as indoor ceremonies?
Yes. The lightweight tulle skirt and sleeveless cut keep it comfortable in warm weather. For outdoor summer weddings, the white, champagne, and blue versions photograph particularly well in natural light. The sweep train will need managing on uneven ground such as grass, so a brief practice at the venue layout is worth planning in advance.
