Girls Wholesale Party Dresses
While you can't always find girls' wholesale party dresses, a bit of work will yield you dresses at prices low enough to compete with the wholesale cost - or sometimes even beat it.
Shopping Wholesale
Getting something at a wholesale price was always considered a lucky deal. You had to know someone connected and you had to be prepared for disappointment - something could often end up in the wrong size or color.
Buying girls' wholesale party dresses was the goal of many poorer people in cities who needed to get a good dress for their daughters that would work as well for First Communion, Easter or other religious or secular dressy occasions. In a city, this was comparatively easy, as there used to be thriving garment districts and so people had connections. Even today, if you live in a large city, there will still be a garment district and some shops will allow wholesale purchases to the public. This is rare, however, and you might have to buy items in bulk.
Finding Girls' Wholesale Party Dresses
Most wholesale items these days come from China, as that is where the bulk of manufacturing is located. There are a number of websites that originate in China and offer wholesale items. You must vet these carefully, as they sometimes insist that you buy several of something at once.A good source for girls' wholesale party dresses is Light in the Box. They have dresses appropriate for First Communion and flower girls. Not only can you buy something like a ball gown in satin and organza, you can even get custom tailoring and choose from color options. Depending upon what you order, shipping is fast and reasonably priced. They also provide a space for customer reviews so that you can better assess what you are getting. For example, one popular item is the Ball Gown Scoop Satin Tulle Flower Girl Dress. This is a sleeveless satin dress with a tulle overlay and a sash. Customers rave that the dresses are made of a fine fabric, beautifully sewn and the ordering and tailoring is a breeze.
Another popular dress is the A-line Bateau Floor-Length Satin Organza Flower Girl Dress. You can get this in any number of colors and it comes with a contrasting sash and large rosettes on the skirt. It is a dress to make a little girl feel like a princess.

Additional Low-Cost Options
One problem with shopping wholesale is you won't necessarily get as large a selection as you might wish. If you are looking for a brand-new dress, you might try shopping some low-cost sites such as:
- Little Miss Princess: Has a huge selection of dresses divided into categories like princess costumes, birthday, communion, flower girl, Christmas and basic girls' dresses. They will sometimes run promotions, such as getting a free dress if you buy three. This can work well if you band together with others to shop and split the difference.
- Little Girl Dresses: From christening to communion, this site has a number of choices at low prices.
- So Sweet Boutique: Offers free shipping specials and no sales tax, which can add up to substantial savings.
Traditional Price Busters
If you really want to save money, look for a second-hand dress. Clothing swaps are growing in popularity, and these are ideal for kids' clothes. You can easily organize a local swap and bring everything your child has outgrown, while accumulating several "new" things. If you are looking for something specific, neighborhood online forums such as Yelp or Craigslist should help you find a perfect party dress at a rock-bottom price. When your daughter has outgrown it, you can pass it along. It's the perfect way to reduce, reuse and recycle.
