Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

I'm pretty sure that me not having children is the main reason why I'm so shocked at the prices I've seen on flower girl dresses. I mean $150 is ridiculouls. I've avoided David's Bridal because I know their dresses are expensive. Someone suggested to look at the major department stores like JcPenney, Dillards, Foleys, etc. I went to those on yesterday. Dillards was the only store that had something, but it was ivory. I need a white dress. I looked around on E-bay and found a potential. Please tell me what you think. She's just two and half and I'm scared the dress may be a little too much for a little one like her. It's an Oleg Cassini (line from David's Bridal). I believe the last day to bid is July 1st. Hopefully this link works.

Re: Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

I think the ebay dress is pretty. The seller has an 100% positive feedback rating, so I think it's safe to order it.

Flower girl dresses are incredibly expensive, and it's not worth spending too much on a dress. My flower girl dress cost $150, but my mom paid for it because she saw it, loved it, and just had to have it. If it would have been up to me, I wouldn't have spent anymore than 75 bucks.

Hey there Hampton_S. I like the dress, but do you realize that the dress is LIKE NEW and may have been previously worn.

It has been. I read the description, and it said worn once, but it has also been dry-cleaned.

Re: Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

I'm looking for a white dress, size 3T. This dress is what I've been looking for. But, I guess I'm a little scared because I've never really purchased anything off of Ebay.

Re: Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

the ebay dress is pretty BUT if you can get a new dress from one of the previously mentioned website for the same price if not less, definitely go for the new on babygirl. I love you sistahs

Re: Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

FYI,mrs. lee the ebay store that I purchased my FG dresses were new with tags. Everything on ebay is not used. This was an actually store on ebay that sells new dresses.

Oh I know mama... I love me some ebay, I had an ebay store then I ran out of product - haha. But the dress that hammy showed on ebay is used. And I feel like if you can find a new dress for the same price as that used dress, go for the new dress.

Re: Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

Threjolyn check places where you would get your bridesmaids dresses from. Most places sell junior bridesmaids dresses that are appropriate for children. What's your colors and I can look for sone that you might like but It would have to be soon cuz you have less than 2 months til the wedding miss lady.Are you getting nervous yet?

Re: Dressing the Flower Girl on a Budget

Okay update ladies!! I did bid on and win the E-bay dress. Paid $50 for it. I think it would normally sale for about $200. When it arrived it was a 3 instead of a 3T, so I was kind of worried about the fit. And, it had a smudge on the front of it. I took it to the cleaners and it came out. Then, I sent it to the FG mom and she told me the dress looked beautiful. (Sigh of relief!) Thank you all for your suggestions. You are all wonderful!
