Plus size flower girl dresses

Anyone know of a store or website that has plus size flower girl dresses? We have 4 flower girls, and one is a size 16. It seems to be next to impossible to find what I am looking for in that size. I know etsy has the dress I am looking for, and it can be custom made, but there are so many size variations on what sizing for a little girls 16 is.

FG size is a VERY sensitive topic in FHs family, so even mentioning that her dress would have to be specially made would cause WW3!

I have even considered making her a Jr. Birdesmaid and getting her a different dress all together, but still having a hard time with her size. I am looking for something navy with sequins. I have attached pics of the BM dress, as well as the FG dress I would put the other 3 in.

Does she wear a Girl's 16, or a Woman's 16?

Depending on her age, I'd consider making her a Jr. Bridesmaid.

Is she old enough to wear a dress like the BMs?

I love the FG dress. So will they. How old is this size 16 girl? Because your initial thought was to make her a flower girl, I'm thinking she's probably under the age of 9. I'm not sure that this is the right age for a Jr. BM.

I would seriously consider finding a seamstress in your area to make all 4 dresses. The dress you have in the picture is a fairly standard silhouette for little girl dresses that any reasonably talented seamstress could make in little time. And navy fabric (tulle, sequins, etc) can be found at most fabric stores (ie JoAnns) By having them made, they will all be consistent and you can eliminate concerns about sizing. If the family is really sensitive about the bigger girl being included, I would either make each dress a little different OR make them all the same.

I had a similar problem in that my niece is very small for her age (sz 4) and my husband's niece is very tall/advanced for her age (sz 16). I ultimately found dresses in sz 8-16 on the David's bridal website... and cut down the sz8 dress to make a sz4 version.

How old is your FG?

Surely, a small child would not need a plus-size dress?

She's 10. When I say plus size, I mean children's plus size. She's a big girl size 16. Not a woman's size 16.

I saw this FG dress on an Etsy site. Size 16 is out of stock. They do have up to a size 14. Since your wedding is six months away, there might be time to get it back in stock. I'll be back tomorrow with the site.

Could the etsy seller take measurements to make sure that the size is correct? I would just ask all 4 girls for their measurements (waist, bust, girth, etc) and then just say the etsy seller asked for those measurements when really all you need to do is send the plus-sized girl's measurements. That way you can avoid the touchy subject of her size.

This is my daughter's gown. It's super well made and beautiful. It comes in navy and a size 16. The measurements in the listing were accurate. It also came within a few days. I couldn't be happier. If you are stuck on sequins, you could always get a different sash (it comes with one, but it's matching satin). I can't say enough good things about this seller.
