A flower girl dress can be made more modest by adding sleeves or extra fabric to a sleeveless design, typically with help from a seamstress. One Missacc customer used this approach to customize a flower girl dress for her daughter, who wore it at her son’s wedding.
A Custom Flower Girl Dress for a Family Wedding
Hannah purchased the SFGD10147 Ball Gown Off-the-Shoulder Satin Flower Girl Dress in Vintage Mauve for her daughter, who wore the dress as a flower girl at Hannah’s son’s wedding. Hannah measured her daughter and ordered a custom size rather than a standard size.
The original dress is designed without sleeves. As Hannah explained in her review, her family dresses more modestly for occasions like this, so she purchased an extra piece of fabric and worked with a seamstress to build up the dress and add sleeves.
Hannah also described Missacc as communicative and helpful throughout the customization process.
Style Notes
The SFGD10147 is a ball-gown style made from heavy satin, featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and a satin bow at the back. Hannah used both crinoline and a hoop petticoat underneath the dress to add volume to the skirt.
Is the SFGD10147 Flower Girl Dress True to Size?
Hannah did not order a standard size for her daughter. Instead, she measured her daughter and ordered a custom size based on those measurements.
Her review specifically confirms that she used custom sizing for this purchase rather than selecting a standard size.
Customer Quote
“I purchased this dress for my daughter to wear at my son’s wedding. As part of our traditions we dress more modestly, and although the dress was sleeveless, Missacc was super communicative and helpful and I was able to purchase an extra piece of fabric so that our seamstress could build up the dress and add sleeves. She looked beautiful and received numerous compliments. I am so happy with this product. Note: I measured her and ordered a custom size. The satin is heavy and we used both crinoline and hoop petticoats to poof it out.” — Hannah
