Ever since I started working at Pink Princes my favorite style has been D1120, which is the Dotted Two Tone Shantung dress in pretty much every color. I like how it has enough detail at the top and a simple solid skirt. The rosebud at the waist gives it that extra dressed up look. I noticed parents tend to order the Red or Burgundy more in the Christmas season, but all the other 6 colors, Coral, Champagne, Lilac, Navy Blue, Olive and Pink are just as pretty for Easter, a Flower Girl, or as a special birthday dress.

I went to private school my whole life, and had a set uniform. When it came down to making my First Communion I was so excited because I thought I’d finally be able to wear something I like.  That wasn’t the case.  I was making it in the summer, June to be exact. For those of you who live in California, you know how hot it can get during that time. Unfortunately for the girls making it along with me, we were told we were not allowed to wear spaghetti strap, nor sleeveless dresses.  So there I was, in a long sleeve (with shoulder pads), pantyhose so that the crinoline wouldn’t itch my legs, poufy dress in the middle of June in 90 plus degree weather. It wasn’t exactly what I had pictured my special day to be.  I remember getting home from church and changing.

Young girls have many options now a days and churches are being reasonable and allowing girls to wear spaghetti strap dresses BUT with a shawl or bolero for the Mass part, which is understandable. They can pick from tea length to ankle length, sequins or embroidered, sleeveless or cap sleeved.  Majority of the Communion Dresses come with crinoline followed by smooth material that touches the leg instead of having to deal with the scratchy material on the legs.  It’s the detail on the dress that I think makes it stand out.  You can get a simple A-Line dress with just enough detail on the bodice to make it stand out like our style LSP947-WT.  Or go for a more extravagant look with our D3130-WT that has embroidery all around the dress.  If you really want your daughter to shine all night, then you’ll defiantly like our LSP927-WT which has rhinestone detail on the bodice.

With so many selections in Communion Dresses that we offer, we’re sure coming to an agreement on what you like and what your daughter wants, won’t be a hassle.

I have to admit when I first saw them, I wasn’t THE biggest fan. Once you see them on and with the right flower girl accessories, they don’t look bad. I’ve seen girls wear them with black tights and heels and it looks fun and comfortable.  Toddlers look adorable in them. It’s an every day “princess outfit” for them.  They’re great for dressing up a regular t-shirt or to wear and twirl in for ballet class.

They’re fun, easy to maintain, and practical. There’s no need to take it to the dry cleaners or go thru the hassle of ironing it. They’re hand washable and the more crinkled it gets, the fuller it looks. Majority come based on age so you don’t have to worry about taking any type of measurements, and with an elastic waist, they’ll have enough room to grow into. They’re mainly made of floating chiffon and ruffles that go on forever. Some of them even come with a ribbon at the waist for extra detail.  They come in various colors and styles. They even have a full body petticoat dress like our style SP554, just in case you can’t find a shirt, this one already has it attached to the skirt.

Many brides are starting to use them as flower girl dresses because there’s no need to add a petticoat like you would to a “regular” flower girl dress. They’re easier to mix and match with the bridal parties colors, or you can get one with petals already inside the skirt, like our style SP110 on pinkprincess.com.

They make great gifts for girls of all ages or for your own princess to wear in any occasion. You’re sure to find the color/colors you’re looking for. Pettiskirts are all about having fun, and with 40 yards of fluffy chiffon, you can be assured you’re princess will have the time of her life twirling and playing in hers.

Not to mention that they can in every color and size, you’re sure to find the perfect match for an outfit.

Brides like to add a special touch by having their flower girls wear matching head accessory as well. This can vary from a head wreath to a hair clip depending on how much detail is on the dress.

A new type of head accessory is the bun wreath. It’s similar to a head wreath, but not quite as big. They can be anywhere from 3” to 8” big in diameter. They are perfect for a simple up do and don’t have to worry about it falling on a little girls face. These as well come in different colors and different floral patterns.

For other items, that seems to get costly after awhile, like headpieces, why not get creative and make your own? Most arts and crafts store have a standard head band that you can just glue colored plastic flowers of your choice. Or just get little girls plain headband, and wrap a colored ribbon on that as well. It’s fun, easy, and affordable.

To save even more money on shipping, it’s best to order more than one item at a time.  Most places now offer free Ground shipping when you order over a certain amount. Even if you don’t need one of the items until a later date, you’re assured you’ll have it in your hands by the time the event comes around.

There’s nothing wrong with hand-me-downs to save a little bit more money.  What’s the point of having a dress, worn once, and just hanging in the closet? Selling it at a yard sell, or someone else, is a great way to get rid of dresses no longer being worn, and gives you back some of the money you spent.  The other person can even get creative and add things onto it, or remove things from the dress, and make it look like a whole new dress.

It’s all about trying to save the most out of your money this year. By cutting a few unnecessary expenses and getting creative on the little things, you’ll be able to see the savings in your bank account without having to pinch your wallet.
