Great thanks. I must have a look at the weekend. Can I ask you girls how far in advance did you get your FG dresses? My FG is 7 in April and is tall for her age. I'm not getting married until 5th December but would like to get the FG dress out of the way. As kids often take stretches, would you go for a size bigger or just wait until closer to the wedding to buy FG dress? I'm not sure what to do.

Hi Mrs Whippy,
I have the same problem as you, although I'm June so I could buy now.
She's turning 7 in April but I think she will be an 8 year old dress size.
Even if I had been buying for her last year I would have got an 8 anyway.
Thanks po for the info, I was in debenhams last night and they were all around €80 - 100 no way am I paying that if I can help it, because one is a bit of a tom boy so I don't think she'd get any other use out of it.
I seen one in M&S for €60, which was nice, and you could probably put a ribbon on it to match the BM colours.
I must look in Dunnes tomorrow and see what they have, that's great value!

Thanks summerbride2009! Yeah, I was going to buy a size 8 for my FG aswell. I think a size 9 would just be too big for her. I must have a look in M&S at the weekend aswell!

Mrs Whippy I got my FG dresses in Dunnes last year, a year before our wedding and I just got the dresses a size bigger. Two of the FG have tried their dresses on recently and they're perfect, have to try it on the other one soon.
Must go in there and look at shoes.
