Girls' Bow-Back Tulle Flower Girl Gown – 9 Colors

A Bow at the Nape. An Open Back. A Skirt That Fills the Aisle.

A high halter neckline that ties into a satin bow at the back of her neck, an open back closed with covered buttons, and a full tulle skirt that runs to the floor — this is a flower girl dress with the architecture of a bridal gown. Everything that makes it photograph is on the back, which is the side the guests see for the whole walk.

A Halter That Ties, So Nothing Can Slip
The neckline fastens behind her neck rather than resting on her shoulders, so there are no straps to fall and nothing to hitch up. She keeps her hands on the flowers instead of on the dress.

The Open Back Is the Photograph
The bow sits at the nape and covered buttons run down the spine to the waist. It is the detail that separates a girls' formal dress from a nice white dress, and it is the frame the photographer takes from the back of the church.

A Tulle Skirt With Real Volume
Layers of tulle over a smooth lining give the skirt its width without a hoop or a petticoat, and the lining keeps the netting off her legs. It moves when she moves, which is what makes the wide ceremony shots work.

Nine Colors, One Silhouette
Beige, Black, White, Navy, Pink, Purple, Red, Green and Blue. Enough range to match a wedding palette exactly, or to put a whole line of girls in one cut and several shades.

Size 6 Through Adult XS — Flower Girl to Junior Bridesmaid
The range runs from 43" to 67" / 110 to 170 cm. Most girls' dresses in this shape stop at 12; this one carries a teenage bridesmaid in the same gown as the six-year-old walking in front of her.

She wears it for the ceremony and the reception, then again for formal portraits, pageants, Easter and christenings. At this length it is a gown, not an outfit — the nine-color range and the size run are what give it more than one day.

Size Guide

Measured by hand; allow 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) tolerance. Size by her chest measurement first — a halter has to fit the ribcage, not the height — then check the height against the dress length. Between two sizes, take the larger; a floor-length hem can be worn with a slightly higher heel, but a tight halter bodice cannot be fixed on the day.

Questions moms ask

• Will the halter stay up on a small child? Yes. It ties behind the neck instead of sitting on the shoulders, so there is nothing to slip. Size by her chest measurement — that is what decides whether a halter sits right.
• Does she need a petticoat under the skirt? No. The tulle is layered over a lining and holds its own width. A hoop slip would only be needed if you want a much wider ball-gown shape.
• How does she get into it, and can she do it herself? The back has covered buttons from the neck down to the waist and the halter ties at the nape, so she will need a hand fastening it — about a minute of help, and no zipper to catch her hair.
• It's a winter wedding — will she be cold with an open back? Layer a bolero, faux-fur shrug or a cape over it. There are no sleeves to bunch, so anything over the shoulders sits flat.
• Is Adult XS really adult, or a big girls' size? It is cut for 63"–67" / 160–170 cm with a 33.1" / 84 cm bust, so it fits a teenage or petite adult bridesmaid in the same gown as the younger girls in the party.
