Girls Dress Style 0626118 Ivory Tea-length Applique Strapless Ball Gown Dress in Choice of Colour

Yes. We have small samples of many fabrics and petals and are happy to post them to you – you just pay the postage. Not every dress has a swatch, so please contact us first to check.

Our ivory is the soft bridal ivory (often called candlelight or soft ivory), not the darker, yellowish ivory of some pageant dresses. To be sure, order a swatch or ask us about the dress you like.

Check the dress description: flowers described as pin-on or removable come off easily, and attached ones can usually be removed too, though you may want to cover the spot. Ask us about any dress.

We buy direct from the factory and sell online from our own warehouse, with no shop overheads to pass on – so you get a better price.

Almost all our dresses have a crinoline built into the skirt, and all are fully lined, so nothing scratchy touches your child’s skin. For more volume, gently pull the netting apart and scrunch it in your hand – the more you work it, the fuller it gets. If your child is sensitive to fancy fabrics, a thin cotton vest underneath helps.

Iron slowly on a low heat: the lowest setting for tulle and organza, a medium setting (3–4) for satin. Dry clean only, unless the label says 100% cotton – washing by hand can shrink or warp the dress.

Yes. All our products are lead-free and meet US regulations for children’s product safety.

We try to keep everything available, but stock changes with the seasons. If you’re unsure about an item, email us and we’ll check straight away.

As soon as you have found the dress: children rarely change size much in a month or two. Allow 4–9 days for making plus shipping, and remember Easter, summer and holiday dresses sell quickly.

We prefer not to, as it keeps dresses from other customers. Our seamstress will gladly help you choose the size instead: email us your child’s age, chest, waist and shoulder-to-floor measurements and the date of the occasion.
