Velvet dress for a 6 year old

Hi- my daughter has announced that she is going to ask Father Christmas for a red velvet dress with a white peter pan collar

Any ideas where I can find one - I am stuck, and actually, Father Christmas has been no help either !

Hmm, tough call! My DD is the same age and just as specific in her 'requests'. Uurgh.

plenty of red velvet here, also some peterpan collars but not the correct combo. Might you be able to add the collar from another item?

Oh bless her! I haven't had a look yet but off the top of my head I would look in:

Monsoon
Jigsaw
Boden
Maybe if you get lucky Gap or Laura Ashley

If you can't find one with a collar you could take it to a dressmakers and get them to add one. it would be possible with some designs.

Isn't that size 12 months?

I did spot a navy velvet dress in m and s last week, it was in the Xmas collection so they may have it in red. Otherwise how about a dressmaker, I had my flower girls dress made from scratch and it cost £60.

you are all amazing ! The Etsy dress is perfect, but sadly, my girl is a little bigger than that !

Loving the range from Saks Fifth Avenue - all I need now is the flight to new york and hotel !!! ( I know I could ship it, but at that price, I dont know...)

I will check M&S thank you. I may also mention to her that Santa may only have certain colours of velvet.

Not exactly on brief but delightful and very pricey

Ah sorry, I read it very quickly and though it was made to order in any size!

Montypig · 12/11/2013 19:30

Could you get her this now and maybe divert her attention to something else before Christmas?
