I'll check out the Amazon one, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-wedding-dress-question-kid#post-2910782 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 14:32:43 +0000 PinkElephant 2910782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope &amp; Henry (Amazon) has some cute seersucker styles. Or if you like Hanna, what about one of their pillowcase dresses (once they come out - it may be a bit early). Hanna cotton is really thick so I wouldn’t think you’d want that. Boden also usually does some fun embroidered tropical pieces es for summer (I’m avoiding their website right now bc I have a shopping problem, haha). Or, would Lilly Pulitzer be a good compromise? If you don’t have to match the print to anyone, that’d be super easy to find secondhand and cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-wedding-dress-question-kid#post-2910779 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 14:26:21 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2910779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: Thanks!

They could care less what any of us wear and have said so. My mom loves buying for my daughter, she's her only grandkid and my mom has basically bought all her clothing since she was born, so she immediately went into research mode on dresses. Ultimately the right answer is me saying to my mom that my kid will wear whatever I choose and it might come to that, but I just don't feel like having that convo just yet and figured I'd see if folks have recommendations for something that crosswalks these criteria. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-wedding-dress-question-kid#post-2910766 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 13:22:49 +0000 blairkiday 2910766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/linocolore?ref=simple-shop-header-name&#038;listing_id=721085727" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/linocolore?ref=simple-shop-header-name&#038;listing_id=721085727</a> </p> <p>This etsy shop has some cute simple linen kids dresses. Maybe you could dress one up with a rhinestone sash, jewelry, and some fresh flowers in her hair or something like that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-wedding-dress-question-kid#post-2910764 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 13:19:20 +0000 Becky 2910764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you circumvent the whole thing with your mom and ask your brother/his significant other to choose the dress (and you could still buy it)? I think I’m lost on why your mom has a say—for me it has always been the bride/couple either deciding or letting me choose. If for some reason she ends up in a chiffon dress for the ceremony, I’d change her into it right before and out of it right after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/beach-wedding-dress-question-kid#post-2910763 Wed, 26 Feb 2020 13:05:50 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2910763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother is getting married in Aruba over Labor Day weekend, and my 7 year old daughter will be their flower girl. Per my brother, this is a super casual wedding, about 20 people max, my husband is doing their photography, their friend is officiating, my brother is likely wearing linen, that kind of thing. The ceremony will be at sunset on the beach - knowing my brother it'll be 10-15 minutes max. </p> <p>My mother has taken this to mean she needs to get my daughter a super frilly fancy chiffon dress. I put my foot down because a) casual wedding and b) my daughter runs hot and all our experience with chiffon, especially outside in the Caribbean, are sweat-inducing. </p> <p>That said, where do I go about looking for a dress that might meet my mother's standards (fancier than a beach/summer dress, which I find ridiculous given my brother's vibe but I don't feel like fighting with my mother about it) and mine (cotton/lightweight fabric that won't turn my kid into a hot mess; preferably a flare/a-line dress because she hates seams and likes ones that just flow on her; color doesn't matter but something summery would be great). I got her a couple cute swing dresses from Hanna Andersson recently and my mother said they're too casual. </p>
