I've been searching and so far I've only found that Alfred Angelo sell dresses in women's and girl's sizes. Does anyone know of anywhere else?

when you say girls do you mean children or teens so you are looking to find the same dress for everyone to wear. 

some tips a dress cut and made for a women will not look good on a young child it will fit differently and wont flow right 

your best bet is to find a dress you love for the women and then look for similar styles in jr bridesmaid dresses that come in same color 

heres a few styles that would work

The sexy and figure enhancing styles of the majority of bridesmaids dresses are inappropriate for most girls up to age thirteen. Getting a different dress of compatible color or fabric is often a better choice than a miniature of the same one.

Well I mean I'm going with pretty simple style dresses. Nothing too "showy"

That's what I was looking into. The girls will be 8, 11 and 16 (borderline of not being a "junior"). I just wanted the dresses to be as similar as possible so there's no drama or friction at the wedding. The fact that Alfred Angelo offers these dresses in girls sizes (not sure if it will be exactly the same as the adults, maybe the tweak it so there are spaghetti straps or something) really helps out my cause.

Strapless on girls too young for a bosom do not look nice, in my opinion. Alfred Angelo will send you a yard of matching fabric( or more) which would do 3 sets of a cap or fitted short sleeve style and 2 smaller girls puff sleeves.

As for friction between the girls, instead of selling them on all looking alike, tell each girl you think she is very special, and should have a dress just for her, not exactly like anyone else. Something as simple as one having a lace overlay on the colored satin on just the sleeves, with a narrow lace sash, while another has whatever appeals to her. It is all in how you sell it.

@whatawagSBNy wait so Alfred Angelo sends the dress initially strapless (assuming I choose strapless) and gives me fabric to bring to a seamstress to make straps? Sorry new to this whole thing.

I agree with your friction comment. It's just hard because I have my FI's younger sisters (the younger of which is 10 going on 20) so if I put the older one (16) in a different, more sophisticated style and there are temper tantrums, my head is going to SPIN lol

The website usually has a link, and any store consultant can tell you how to get the matching fabric. By the yard, sometimes a minimum of two yards if a narrow fabric or less if sixty inch wide fabric.
So buy the strapless and then the material for sashes or sleeves. Sometimes little girls like a hat or little head piece with some of the matching fabric used like a ribbon on a plain cheap hat or headband base. Custom Accessories at a tenth of the price.

Regular dress buyers often buy fabric too, because they want a narrower sash, or sleeves, or even removeable sleeves. Hook on for modesty in church, or while traveling or dancing in a strapless, then off go the sleeves for pics or just after church venue.
Many churches do not allow strapless in church, or allow modest strapless for adults but not kids.

So extra matching fabric, or premade lace attachable sleeves and triangular inserts to go in plunging v necks are readily available.
