Harper Girls' Light Blue Tiered Party Dress with Shoulder Bows – Weddings and Birthdays

A light blue party dress with shoulder bows and a two-layer skirt

Harper has a calm, powder-blue prettiness. Flat bows in the dress fabric sit on both shoulders beside a high round neckline, and the skirt comes in two layers: the top layer is pleated from a gently curved, dropped waist, and the layer beneath flares out to just above the knee.

How is Harper different from a classic party dress?

It is all in the shape. The curved, dropped waistline and the tiered skirt give a longer line that looks a little more grown-up, while the shoulder bows keep it sweet; because they lie flat, the neckline stays neat and simple. There is no tulle here – the movement comes from the two layers of the skirt.

Which occasions suit a light blue dress?

Light blue is a spring and summer colour: a British summer wedding, the Easter bank holiday weekend, a birthday party and, in the larger sizes, a Year 6 leavers' prom or an end-of-term party. Pastel blue also looks lovely with white, silver or navy accessories.

How do I find the right size?

Sizes run from 122/128 to 152/158 cm, for ages 6 to 12. Measure your child's height and choose the matching size in the table on this page.
