Most common alterations for a flower girl dress requires raising up the shoulders, tank top styled dresses are the most common and easiest to work with. Whereas flower girl dresses with sleeves may require more work. It’s also not the easiest to find fabric to match something you’ve purchased to bulk manufacturing on the safe side we generally recommend purchasing a size larger.

While purchasing a flower girl dress make sure to also think about the overall dress and what may be needed for alterations. If there is embroidery on the side or bottom hemming may become an issue, but we would help you also think about hemming from the waist if there is a seam. To perform this generally a zipper may be in the way and the cost of tailoring the flower dress could get more expensive.
