Or does it look too much like a bridesmaid/flower girl dress?

This isn't the exact dress, but it's similar. I've read threads on here about parents dressing their young daughters as bridesmaids because they're offended that they weren't chosen, and it's occurred to me I'm not really sure what the difference between a child's party dress and a bridesmaid dress is! I'm guessing it's fine because it's blue rather than white, but I just wanted to make sure.

You absolutely cannot let your daughter wear that

How old is your daughter? As a guests dress that feels more like been part of the wedding party. Does your dad want to wear this?

Funnily enough I just showed it to her and she said “cinderella” and I didn’t say it to her beforehand.

It’s abit much.

I probably wouldn’t put my daughter in that for a wedding. It’s a bit Disney princess.

That’s not a party dress. That’s a mini ball gown.

Way too OTT. It looks like a Cinderella fancy dress costume.

@iwantavuvezela - I think it would be even more out of place if her dad was to wear it.

What if... thoughts would stop me! You presumably don't know what colour the bridesmaids are wearing. You don't know whether their style is simpler. I agree with PP saying choose something special but not shouting occasion at everyone. A print would be safe. You don't want her mistaken for one of the wedding party, after all.

Save that level of special for when she is a bridesmaid.

Fine if she's 6 years old but too fussy otherwise.

I would go for something with a pattern to look less like a bridesmaid

Zara have some excellent sparkly dresses for girls and River Island have party outfits too. Both way better than this dress. It looks cheap and nasty by the way.
