Holly Girls' Chocolate Brown Tulle Ruffle Party Dress – Christmas and Weddings

A chocolate brown tulle party dress for older girls, with sheer long sleeves

Holly is for girls who have moved on from pastels: a rich chocolate brown, sheer tulle sleeves finished with a frill at the cuff, a draped waistband with a bow at the back and a two-tier tulle skirt that flares to just above the knee. It looks grown-up without trying too hard, which is often exactly what older girls want.

How is the brown Holly different from the leopard print one?

The cut is identical; only the colour changes. The brown Holly is a solid chocolate shade with no print, which makes it the quieter, more classic choice – easy to pair with brown or burgundy tights and a simple hair clip.

Which occasions is it for?

Long sleeves and a deep shade make Holly a dress for the darker months of a British winter: Christmas Day, Boxing Day with the family, a winter wedding, a birthday party or a family celebration.

How do I choose the size?

Sizes run from 128 to 164 cm, for ages 7 to 16, so it works for teenagers too. Measure her height and use the size table on this page.

What is it made of?

A cotton and polyester blend, half and half, lined with cotton. The sheer sleeves keep the dark colour light and pretty rather than heavy.
