Where to Purchase a Flower Girl DressBy Hilde BergeYour wedding is a special day, and finding that special dress for a flower girl can be a challenge for some brides. If you are in search of a special flower girl dress, you can search online or offline for a dress that can be worn as a flower girl dress. The flower girl is a small imitation of the bride, often times wearing the same colors as the bride, and imitating her in the length and in the overall style of the dress but it doesn't have to be the exact same.To purchase a flower girl dress online, you will want to keep on hand the exact measurements of your flower girl. The length of the dress to the knees, to shoulder width and the waist measurements are going to help you overall find a dress that will fit your flower girl. You can use the online search engines to find a flower girl dress by typing in the words flower girl dress, or the words communion dress, or specialty wedding dress.You will find both used and new dresses online when you use these types of words in the auctions or when you are searching through specialty wedding stores online. You should see pictures of the dresses you are considering to purchase. The one thing about purchasing online is that you don't have to fight the crowds, and you don't have to worry about getting the brides party together all in one location to purchase dresses. You can order online, give the exact measurements you want to have the dresses made to be, or the sizes you want and the dresses will be shipped.A flower girl dress can be one that you should order just a few months, most likely two, before the wedding. Because small girls are always growing, it is a good idea not to purchase that flower girl dress too early before the wedding. If you are ordering the dress about two months before the wedding, the girl is not going to change or grow too much between the ordering, the fitting and the actual wedding.If you are ordering a flower girl dress online, you can always have it fitted locally by a seamstress. A seamstress is going to take the flower girl dress up if the hem is too long, and it can be sewn in when the dress is too big around the waist. Don't forget, if you have a flower girl that is a bit on the heavy side, you want to order a bigger size, so you can take it in and it will fit just right. The dress that is too small is going to be too hard to fit, to hard to breath right, and the flower girl will not be comfortable overall when it comes time to the actual wedding.
