Popular New Style for 2012/2013 Holiday Season

Each autumn we find a few new winter styles for girls Christmas dresses and populate our catalogs to be ready for pre-order. This gives us a good idea on what the last minute Christmas Holiday shoppers will want for rush deliveries for their Christmas and new years parties.
This season one style has been in high demand and we declare it the over all winner of the Christmas Party Dress Award.

Coming from a name brand label the price / quality ratio does not disapoint. This over all style is a typical multi layered dress with a synthetic dupioni silk textured fabric. Dupioni silk is the kind with faint horizontal striations due to different thicknesses of thread. This creates that silk worm look that one sees with expensive raw silk.

Red and silver, of course are the first selection for Christmas, followed by blue and then ivory.

Here you can see the detail of the fabric. It is in fact a light weight fabric, which makes it perfect for thick winter tights and under slips for warmth and not always appear fresh and fluffy.

The cinched cap sleeves give the holiday doll baby feel but is small enough to comfortably wear a fur shrug for a fuller more winter feel.

The sash is built into the construction and is not a removable piece. These bow sashes are built in to tie over the center back zipper to bring in any extra fabric at the waist with out the need to make alterations. Often times, if you need the extra length you can select a style that is one or two sizes too large. Use that sash to make adjustments and it is hardly noticable when a dress has no long sleeves where measurements matter most.

You can not wash this dress in the machine at home. It must be spot cleaned, hung to dry, or professionally cleaned. The holiday sparkle embellishment across the apron are fixed with a hot applique and must have attention paid when cleaning.

New Arrivals Update ..Spring colors to surprise

Its been a while since we've talked about our new arrivals at Flower Girl Princess. One of the little details that this blog lets us expose that may not be to obvious in our store is not just what the new trends in children's formal fashion as as the seasons roll by, but how families and customers are responding to the colors and styles. The first obvious trend is how many new items fly out the door. This is usually predictable. After years and years of selecting styles for the up coming seasons one tends to get the hang of the popular dresses. A very simple style that has been around for a few years is this seasons winner. The colors were a bit of a surprise. Keeping in mind spring is usually the more predictable season color selection, pinks, pastels, greens and limon are always a sure thing. They do vary on shade each season, but after the cabin fever of the grey winter soft healthy colors are always welcome. This season was a bit of a head turner.....and the winners are..... Royal Blue...usually a fall and winter color, everything in the shades of royals to navys are selling fast. The newest arrivals are sometimes out the door before we have them in our hand. Did everyone plan an August wedding? Maybe not...the spring has bold bright colors this year. Another twist on flower girl dresses is that the colors are new and the best selling styles are staying the same. Many of our popular dresses have been on our line now for a few seasons, all beit these new richer colors. Then again rich tones do well with simple and classic.

This chiffon dress is not only one of our best selling flower girl choices but of course its simplicity allows for it to be worn to any Sunday service or family formal. Its really no surprise.
The next selection is a bit more specific to the flower girl uniform and may be a bit to formal for the week end attire, but rest assured a size 6 in this dress will get a lot of 'princess' play wear

Petal dresses have been around for years. Parents love these styles because they're so able to be custom. The sashes come off and the back of the dress has a little secret hole where more petals can be added and colors can be changed. Royal blue, not what you would have guessed. Is it? A fresh rich turn. This color will last the entire year. We predict is popularity all through the summer and into the winter. Stay tuned for our next big color surprise!!! One down , two to go.

Gold Themed Holiday Weddings for Bridal Parties

Winter of 2012 has seen a gold theme this year. Unlike last years metallic flavors, this year is a warm yellow gold. January weddings usually still have the holiday theme spill over, as people have spent the past six months getting ready for the party and the holiday colors have been in their face since just after Halloween.
This year the Winter themed weddings look like they are in an optimistic anticipation for the warm weather days. All the traditional colors are full of a warm feeling and healthy floral designs are in full bloom.

Gold and Yellow will be every where this January and February.



Satins will be the fabric of choice for children as usual due to its sturdy integrity. Gold flower girl dresses will have a soft white mixed and flower scrawling through the trim or entire dress.
Long gowns for flower girls are typical during the cold weather months. So, expect the traditional a-line.



Accessories should be matched with ivory tones. Shoes, Stockings, fur shrugs, and hair pieces should all be ivory. Stay clear of dressing children in gold accessories or jewelry. A touch too much in the gold family can quickly look gaudy and like a game of dress up in grandmas attic trunk. If you want the little ones in jewelry, try pearls and flowers.

Communion Dresses

One of our busiest times of the year starts in April when customers start browsing for their communion dresses. We do notice different trends in styles depending on what part of the country your church is located. In the west dresses are usually selected as 2 piece dresses with a removable jacket for warm weather events. Communion dresses are selected with soft breathable materials such as chiffon and beautiful crystal organza. In the North East we see styles in the old traditional Irish and Italian gowns that often look like full miniature brides. Heavy wedding quality matte satins are selected as March, April, and May are usually still chilly.



Dresses range from very simple to very lavish. A simple dress can come together nicely with the proper accessories. A satin pocket book, communion veil and pair of white gloves will make any plain white dress into a dainty formal occasion dress.
Don't over look the possibility of using her communion dress for multiple purposes.
By selecting a dress with a removable sash you can always accessorize a different color sash later for her piano recital, or a christmas party.
