Handling the flower girls for a wedding of a relative or a friend can be quite a hassle especially when trying to find the right kind of dress for each of these participants. Now the problem is that a lot of dresses that commercial stores sell are quite expensive and will take up a lot of the budget. A good alternative to buying store bought ones would be to actually make some cheap flower girl dresses.

Before even planning to do anything about the flower girls, one must always seek the approval of both the groom and bride first to see if the plans are to their liking or not. Now it is also important for one to take note of the theme of the wedding. He must always make sure that the clothing of all participants follow the particular theme.

The next step would be to find out what the sizes of the flower girls are. Getting the exact measurements of all of them is actually very crucial simply because it is not good if the participants will have clothing that will not fit. In the event that one does not follow the exact size, then he may just make it a little bigger only.

When one is now ready with all of the measurements, then he may now try to get a pattern. This pattern can be used as a guide for the maker so that he will be able to have a basis on which he will be making the dress. It is actually very easy to get a pattern because nowadays, there are so many free ones that can be found on the internet.

The next step would be to select the right fabric for the dress. Of course the type of fabric that is commonly used for this kind of clothing would be the lacy ones that is quite like that of the bride. Of course one may opt to use silk as it is a material that is very nice to look at because of its natural shine.

When the selection and preparation is all finished, then the next step is to take a pair of scissors and cut the pieces of fabric that will be used. Now it is very important that one follows his pattern in order to be able to get everything right. Use the pattern to be able to trace the fabric and cut it out properly.

When all of that is finished, then the final thing to do is to sew the dress. The easiest way to be able to do this is to simply use a sewing machine because it takes a lot of time and effort to use a needle and thread. From this point, one may opt to put things like laces, ribbons or zippers.

So as one can see, it is actually not that hard to make cheap flower girl dresses. Not only is it quite simple to make, but it is also much cheaper as compared to buying one in the store. Of course one should only do this if he enjoys this kind of thing.
