Communion Dresses for Plus Size Girls

January 21st, 2010 by Pegeen.com | No Comments | Filed in Communion Dresses

Although we do many dress styles for all shapes, I am frequently asked about flower girl dresses for Plus Size Children, and especially Plus Size First Communion Dresses.

Each dress we make for a plus size child is individually hand cut according to their specific measurements so any style will look good on the child because it is made for them.  I frequently get a call from a parent who said they tried on (for example) a size 18 1/2.  What is a half – a half child?  At Pegeen.com we like to treat our plus size girls with respect.

For PLUS SIZES we will send a Bodice in the mail which is made out of a muslin material. You will try on this pattern/muslin and get back to us with any further fit issues. Be sure to have a digital camera ready when it arrives. After the fit is finalized, we use our copy of the same muslin here and proceed to make your dress. “My staff and I are really good at spotting the problems. Once the digital pictures are sent back to us experience and a little programming magic, produces the changes that need to be made to the pattern. I really scare my kids sometimes when talking on the phone to customers. After they give me the measurements and height, I usually guess their weight within a pound or two. It amazes my kids but reassures the customer that we know what we are doing! I was especially happy when a recent customer said to me ‘ITS LIKE MAGIC IN A BOX’ and that pretty much says it right there.”

December 2nd, 2009 by Pegeen.com | No Comments | Filed in Flower Girl Dresses, Jr. Bridesmaids Dresses

At Pegeen we have been making dresses, actually specializing, in plus size flower girl dresses and plus size junior bridesmaids dresses since our existence. Some times, it’s in the genes and other times just in the habits of our children today.  Regardless of their size however, we feel they have the right to look just a beautiful as the next girl so it leads me to write this post.
