Ella is going to be a flower girl in DH's cousin's wedding in October, and his Aunty in Hong Kong is buying her dress over there. It is cheaper there than in Aussie where the wedding is.
She has emailed us 2 size options and I am not sure which would be the best to buy. Aunty is worried about her having a growth spurt in the next 2 months and the smaller one not fitting... Ella's measurements: Shoulder to shoulder: 27cms Height heel to shoulder: 69cms Waist: 52cms Dress measurements: Option 1: Shoulder width: 25cms(sleeveless) Length of dress: 58cms Width around waist: 56ms Option 2: Shoulder width 25cms(sleeveless) Length of dress: 63cms Width around waist: 61cms TIA! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Hmmm the first option already seems a bit short for a flower girl dress but she's a bit skinny!  Does it have a tie waist? If it doesn't you'll have to stick with the smaller option cause the other one, that big around the middle, would look awful!-------------  |

| My inclination would be to go for the bigger one - as it will be easier to take it in, than to try and up-size something that might be too small (and yes I would be more than happy to alter it for you if needed). |
