My flower girl refuses to wear her dress

Where can i find a fairly cheap one on short notice. Were hoping if we get another one shell wear it. We have no idea why she doesnt like it, shes only three.

I would just put her in it!! She is 3,,, tell her she is a princess and to get in it and thats it.

If not try a a 'Flea Market' they usually have some stores like that in them

Its not that easy unfortunately.. Shes a foster child and very sensitive right now since they are trying to get her back with her parents. We put her in it and she tugs at it and crys and just says over and over again 'i dont like it, i want my mommy and daddy'. She very much into her clothes, like changes 5 times a day so she knows what she likes lol.. If she was our child I would force her, but i dont want her to have a bad day since shes kinda iffy around large crowds to begin with. But i will try Attias tomorrow, thank you.

Try Raggamuffin in Smithtown. They had really cute dresses in the store and they ordered ours and they were in a few days (I know you don't have much time left).

Also try poor baby in Sayville and Colony Shop in Patchogue. All cute dresses for not a lot of money.

Good luck -- I know how tempermental 3 year olds can be. My piece of advise -- bribe toys. I know it sounds horrible but for a day like that buy her things that will keep her busy and that she wants -- then bride her with them -- I am doing it with my 3 year old niece!

Try Estelles in Farmingdale. My 3 year old RB refused to wear his tux too. But on the day of the wedding he showed up in it. He didn't walk down the aisle but that's another story

I have a 6 year old, and I remember what she was like at 3...lol. Have you tried YOU putting your dress on to show her? I know my daughter loves when we look like 'twins'. Never know, that might work!
