Measuring a small child for her flower girl dress especially when she's wiggly!
Help with sizing is one of the most common requests we get from our customers.
Embarking on the exciting journey of selecting attire for the children in your wedding party is a moment filled with anticipation. The crucial first step in this process is obtaining accurate measurements to ensure a perfect fit for the little ones. While we're delighted to assist you by providing tailored size recommendations, you can also follow these straightforward steps to gather precise measurements on your own.

To streamline the process, send us the child's height, chest, waist, and, if applicable (for tulle dresses starting with style number 4 or higher), the measurement from the belly button to the desired length (included in the price). Simply email us with these measurements, along with your color choice, chosen dress style, the number of children, and the wedding date. We'll promptly respond with your recommended size and may request a re-measure closer to the wedding. Rest assured, if you provide measurements and follow our recommended size, we guarantee a perfect fit!
To begin, ensure you have the right tool for the job—a soft tailor's tape measure, as illustrated above (the yellow tape measure). These are readily available at supermarkets, often found in the sundry or light bulb aisles.
Follow these steps for accurate measurements:
-
Standing Height: Place the pencil at the top of the child's head (standing height), making a mark. After stepping away from the wall, measure from the pencil mark to the floor for the height.
-
Chest Measurement: Go straight across the nipple line, keeping the tape parallel to the floor. Record this measurement.
-
Waist Measurement: Repeat the process, but this time at the belly button.
-
Additional Tulle Dress Measurement: If applicable, measure from the belly button to the desired length for tulle dresses starting with style number 4 or higher.
Email these measurements to us with your order number in the subject line. We'll confirm receipt shortly after, and if needed (for boys), we may request additional measurements, such as outside sleeve length and inside leg measurements (to below the knee for knickers or to the ankle). Our goal is to make the process seamless, ensuring a perfect fit for the special members of your wedding party.
