Fuchsia BM Dress for 9 year old

Hi, Can you please point me in the right direction. My daughter would like a fuscia pink BM dress for our wedding. I was hoping to use the high street but they are all white, coral and pale pink for little girls. Where is the best place to start looking? (Any websites you have used and can personally recommend will be great. Or any dress designers I can look up and find in a shop). Something like this qa.girlsdressline.com/coral-satin-n-organza-layered-flower-girl-dress.html would be ideal.

There's some on this website. www.justdresses.co.uk/Shop-by-Dress-Type/Flower-Girl-Dresses--Bridesmaid-Dresses-ALL

I can't link as I'm on the website on my laptop and on MN via phone app.

I've just gone on www.jjshouse.co.uk

And gone on flower girls dresses

Selected fuchsia... anyway the below dress came up as an option for that colour and looks really similar to your link?

Zulily often feature US designers who do dresses in all kinds of shades. You'll need to order well in advance though

The one you've linked to as ideal has a fuschia option by the look of it

Thank you both. Great websites to have a browse.

@Aventurine the one I linked to cost about £50 just for delivery!! I don't mind treating her for a quality dress - but don't want to buy a budget dress and then blow the budget on shipping.

(I'm ok if her favourite choice is a cheap one - as realistically she'll have grown out of it in a year).

Thanks @ravenLG (is that actually your name or from the Raven thread? If so how many did you buy? 😂)

@user1474894224 haha no it’s been my name for a while (screen names have always been raven in some form) but I did see that thread and wonder how many I could justify spending money on!!

We have enjoyed looking and I think she is being more daring about what she wants. (I have ordered this one which was £10!!!) - it will either be lovely and be a bargain....or look like a piece of rag!! Lol. And we can order something else.

Lovely colour op!

OP a bit of advice for you, if the dress arrives and doesn't look quite how you wanted it to- buy a petticoat from a fancy dress shop and try it with that underneath. You'll be surprised how a bit of extra volume will help as they often arrive and are not as full as they look in the picture

user1474894224 · 22/01/2019 12:15

Thanks @pinkyyy I did mention petticoats to her yesterday and she wasn't all that keen. Lol. I'm sure I can pick one up from eBay she can try.

As an advisory op, a friend brought her dd's to my wedding (uninvited Angry) wearing a fuchsia dress. On the photos it looked very garish to say the least. And I love fuschia! Felt like Where's Wally had photo bombed all the pics. Kind of ruined most of the pics tbh.
