~ we can accept orders up to 1 year in advance.  For advance orders, you do not have to select a size in order to place an order.  For peak season events in May/June/July/September/October, we recommend placing your order as far in advance as possible, particularly if you will be ordering multiple dresses.  If you do decide to place an order at the last minute, please contact us by telephone as we can often accommodate last minute RUSH orders with a 1 week turn around.  Please click the "ordering" link for more information.  

~ all our adult dresses are cut using our standard size chart measurements.  The measurements listed on the chart are for body measurements - not garment measurements.  If you are interested in a customized fit, your dress may need additional alterations once you receive it, in which case we strongly recommend taking it to a professional seamstress or tailor that can further customize your dress.  Custom sizing is only available for children's sizes at this time.

~ you do not have to confirm size until 10 weeks before the event at the latest - when you place an order you are reserving production time & in some cases fabric (for specific dye lot colors).  You are welcome to place an order up to a year in advance of an event.  We strongly recommend ordering early for spring & fall events.

~ yes, you may order a sample dress for any of our styles to see and try on for size.  A deposit will be required, but is completely refundable (less $26 shipping) if the dress is returned to us in new condition with all tags attached.  If you would like more information about our "try-on" program, please contact us or click here.

~yes, you can mix & match styles, colors & sizes (adult & child), and all orders for a single event must be placed the same day to qualify unless other arrangements have been made with our sales staff.  Accessories do not count towards totals.

4 or 5 dresses = 10% discount

6 or more = 12% discount

~ because it's difficult to tell colors over the internet, we would be happy to send out color swatches of any of our fabrics, call us or send us an email (sales@little-flowers.com) providing which colors you'd like to see as well as a mailing address and we can usually send out swatches within the week.  For out of stock colors, please allow additional time for swatches to arrive.

~if you have a very unique color you'd like to match, you are welcome to provide us with fabric (or any other item in the color you'd like to match)  to ensure an proper match.  Please contact us for specifics - this service is not available for all styles and depends on the type of fabric plan to use.

~we offer "RUSH" orders on all our dresses - which means the dress will ship within a week of having placed an order.  There is an additional charge of $30 per dress, and the order MUST be placed by telephone so everything can be finalized.  Rush orders are also available for all our accessories, jackets, wraps and purses ($10 charge).

~for slight variations in size (1 inch at waist or chest), or height adjustments, there is no charge - but you must let us know you'd like to make an adjustment when you PLACE THE ORDER.  For children that have measurements that are completely different than our size guide, we offer CUSTOM sizing.  Please contact us & we can provide measuring instructions and guide you through the process of ordering a custom sized dress.  There is an additional fee for this service. Custom sizing is not available for adult sizes at this time.

~yes - our sales staff can help you select a size that would be most appropriate for a child.  For adult sizes, although we would be happy to provide guidance on selecting the most appropriate size, you are ultimately responsible for selecting the size that you are most comfortable with.

~our dresses are all made to order for size & color, so they are only available directly from us at this time.  If you would like to see a "sample" dress in person, we would be happy to send you a dress - a deposit is required and will be returned (or credited towards a purchase of a dress) less shipping charges of $26 once the dress is returned to us.  Please call or email if you need further information or would like to order a sample.    All sample dresses must be returned in new-unused condition within 3 weeks of delivery.

~currently our dresses are only available by order directly from us.  We are currently seeking boutiques to display our collections and will be adding listings as soon as they become available.  If you would like additional information, please contact us.

~all of our dresses are fully lined (bodice & skirt) in taffeta, so no slip is required.  All photographs were taken (unless noted) without crinolines.  Because of the natural fullness of dupioni silk as well as the taffeta lining, our ball-gown and full circle skirt dresses have a bit of body to the skirt.  If you are looking for a "Scarlet O'Hara" poof, we recommend the addition of a crinoline - or contact us to discuss additional options.

~yes, contact our sales staff & they would be happy to help with specifics.
