Etsy for Flower Girl Dresses

Rachelariana

I've heard all of the horror stories with bad dresses for brides/bridesmaids but I'm wondering if it would be that bad with flower girl dresses? The flower girls in question are my 1.5 year old twins. The dresses they have at DB's are outrageous. I really can't justify spending $100+ each on dresses that they will probably wear only once (and surely make a mess of that one time that they do). 

I've looked at a few Carter's & Macy's dresses but none of them are really what I'm looking for. I really like the look of this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/186489384/rush-order-for-mary-hamilton?ref=related-1  

and this:

The pricing is also much more reasonable I'm just a little nervous about the ship from china/online ordering aspect. I don't want to spend the money and wind up with these dresses that look completely different than expected. Has anyone had any experience with this for flower girl dresses? Anyone you recommend/don't recommend?

If you know of any retail stores that have something similar I'd also be interested in those suggestions! 

Thanks!

Sorry, those are knock-off vendors from china...This was a vendor I was considering https://www.etsy.com/listing/156914134/junior-bridesmaids-vintage-inspired?ref=favs_view_14 She's legit and even a member of the etsy kid's team. Just be skeptical. If it's seems too good to be true...

J crew has a few styles you might like, though they are a little on the pricy side.

Thanks @Blergbot I will check out the link. J.Crew might be a little outside of our price range (especially with two) but I will give it a look as well! Where did you wind up getting yours from if you don't mind me asking?

Still trying to decide between that vendor on etsy, jcrew, ordering one from Watter's Seahorse collection on Weddington Way, or going with the ones they wore in March for FSIL's wedding. That was totally the plan, but then FMIL said maybe they'd like new ones and offered to pay for them.

We got our flower girls' dresses on Zulily for $26 each! They're perfect.

I got mine from H&M of all places! They are so cute and they were only 30 each which was awesome! Totally wasn't expecting to find them there though, so I guess you never know where you might find something.

Before I found them though I was planning on doing something from etsy! I thought this shop was cute and it's coming from within the United States

Thanks everyone!! @coleford0‌ I just took a quick glance at those sellers but they seem to be exactly what I am looking for. I will also look at H&M. I totally forgot they sell kid's clothes. Thanks!!

We got ours on Amazon. I'm sure it's not the highest quality, but its true to the picture and was under $60 with free shipping. I think it would be easier to do a return through amazon vs etsy, if you need to return. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Flower+girl+dress
