    My Flowergirl is quite small for her age do I've take her to the bh of s and found a lovely dress quite grown up in the colour I was looking for. Now I've just noticed the dress maker who is making my bm dresses has a Flowergirl dress in the same range as my bm ones with just a difference to the straps. It is double the price of the bh of a one though! What do I do? Get the original one which is a different material to the bm dresses but same colour and cheap or pay double for the one in same range as bm dresses? Not just that but for some reason the Flowergirl dress is dearer than the bm dresses!

    It's up to your budget really. I'd be tempted to stick with the orginal one as before you found out about the more expensive one you were happy to go ahead with a slightly different FG dress. Unless it's gonna make you unhappy, i'd go with the bh....s one and think of something nice you can get with the money you've saved on the other dress. xx

    This is a hard one, when u say the BH of S ones is quite grown up in what respect? Im really torn and probably wont help in the for you but my opinions are:

    Part of me would say got for cheaper option as children do like to run around and have fun and also dont see why pay more for same dress by same maker for soemthing smaller it doesnt make sence and is a pet hate of mine when store/maker do this.

    However I also dont like it when flower girls are put in dresses that make them to grown up for their age (if that makes sense) so depending on how gronw up the cheaper dress is maybe go for same as otehrs but with different straps and pay a bit more if it more apropriate for her age.

    Personally I think its always nice to see flower girsl in different dres to BM as it gives them the feeling of being totally different and special for the day and it alwys pleases them.

    I agree with the other ladies, i'd stick with the bh of s dress as it's cheaper but also i like FG dresses to be different to BM dresses. However, it depends how grown up the FG dress is x

    I say it's grown up, what I should have said is its not babyish like some of the bh of s flowergirl dresses. I'm a bit mad that she is charging more for the flowergirl dress that's smaller than the bm dresses!

    stick with the cheaper one!!! for 2 reasons
    1 - flowergirl is gonna run around, dance, spill her dinner down it so why waste money on an expensive dress.
    2 - the dress maker is taking the p**s so out of principal I wouldnt part with my hard earned cash when you were happy with the chaper dress before you knew about this one.

    My FG dress was £24 and she looked perfect, plus when she was running around on the grass and rolling on the floor I didnt care as i hadnt spent a fortune on it.

    i agree with what the other girls have said and when thinking about my flower girl dresses i thought it is really worth spending a fortune on their dresses as they grown quickly they run round all day and will they ever wear it again? my answer was no to them all so only spending £60 on my flower girl dresses xx
