Description
About the Dress: Bella Princess PK1001
Bella Princess PK1001 is a long ballgown designed for little girls at a mini quinceañera, a daddy-daughter celebration, or as the little sister in a mini quince court. The sweetheart neckline has thin spaghetti straps, and the full tulle skirt sweeps into a train. The dress comes in Blush Pink, Lilac, and Light Blue, and is sized for girls from size 3 through size 16.
A detachable sheer tulle cape is included. It attaches at the straps and spreads out like butterfly wings — she can wear it for her grand entrance and take it off for dancing.
Fit & Silhouette
Bella Princess PK1001 is a classic ballgown shape: fitted bodice, full skirt that starts at the waist and fans out to the floor. The bodice has a lace-up corset back so it can be adjusted for a snug, comfortable fit as she grows. The sweetheart neckline keeps the look soft and pretty without being fussy. The skirt has enough volume to move with her but won't overwhelm a smaller frame.
Sizes available: 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. If she is between sizes, size up and use the corset lacing to bring in the bodice.
Fabric & Detail
The gown is made in tulle with a glitter finish that catches the light as she moves. 3D butterfly appliqués and embroidery are scattered across the bodice and continue down the skirt — each butterfly is raised off the fabric so it has real dimension. The sheer detachable cape is covered in the same 3D butterflies and drapes from the shoulders like wings when she spreads her arms. The skirt ends in a short train at the back.
Key Features
- Long ballgown silhouette with full tulle skirt and train
- Sweetheart neckline with thin spaghetti straps
- 3D butterfly appliqués and embroidery on bodice and skirt
- Glitter tulle fabric that shimmers under event lighting
- Detachable sheer butterfly cape — attaches at the straps, removes easily
- Lace-up corset back with boning for a secure, adjustable fit
- Available in Blush Pink, Lilac, and Light Blue
- Sizes 3 through 16
Style & Occasion
Bella Princess PK1001 is made for a little girl's big moment. It is perfect for a mini quinceañera, as the little sister or flower girl in a mini quince court, a daddy-daughter celebration, or any children's formal event where she deserves to feel like the star. The butterfly theme runs through every part of the dress — from the embroidered bodice to the detachable cape — so the look is cohesive from the first entrance to the last dance.
Blush Pink is soft and classic. Lilac is light and dreamy. Light Blue is fresh and fairy-tale. All three colors photograph beautifully and work well under ballroom and event lighting. Order early so there is time for any fitting adjustments before the big day. Marlas Fashions ships from warehouses in Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto, with no duties for US or Canadian orders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — Bella Princess PK1001 is built for a little girl who is going to be on her feet all evening. The full tulle skirt has enough volume that it moves with her rather than restricting her legs. She can walk, spin, dance, and run around the venue without the skirt getting in her way. The corset lacing at the back means the bodice is fitted securely, so she won't be tugging at her dress or worrying about anything shifting during the celebration.
The detachable butterfly cape is the one thing worth thinking about for the dance floor. It looks incredible for her grand entrance and photographs beautifully, but once she is ready to dance, it comes off in seconds — the cape attaches at the straps, so it unclips cleanly without any help from an adult. She can put it back on for photos and take it off again whenever she wants. Most families keep it on for the formal portion and remove it once the dancing starts.
The glitter tulle fabric is light and breathable for a ballgown, so it shouldn't feel heavy or stiff against her skin. The spaghetti straps distribute the weight of the skirt evenly across the shoulders rather than putting all the pressure on the bodice alone. Girls in full ballgowns sometimes find the skirt tiring after a few hours simply because of the volume, but this construction minimizes that as much as possible at this silhouette.
One practical tip: make sure the hem is the right length before the event. If the skirt is dragging on the floor, she will step on it while dancing and that gets tiring fast. When you receive the dress, have her put it on with the shoes she'll wear that day. If the hem needs to come up half an inch, a simple blind hem by a local tailor is inexpensive and makes a big difference in how freely she can move. The corset back also means you can loosen the lacing slightly if she needs more room to breathe after a big meal — no need to change dresses.
Overall, this gown is designed for a full celebration day: arrival, photos, dancing, and everything in between. It holds up well under the demands of an active little girl having the time of her life.
All three colors in Bella Princess PK1001 are soft pastel shades, so they photograph a little differently depending on the lighting at your event and the camera settings used. Here is how each one actually looks in person.
Blush Pink is a warm, pale pink — closer to the inside of a rose petal than a hot pink or bubblegum shade. It reads as very soft and romantic in natural light, and under warm ballroom lighting it picks up a golden warmth that makes it glow. It is the most classic choice and photographs beautifully in both indoor and outdoor settings.
Lilac is a cool, light purple with a slight grey undertone. It sits in the middle between pale lavender and soft mauve. Under cool or daylight-balanced lighting it looks fresh and airy. Under warm amber event lighting it leans slightly more pink. If the quinceañera or celebration has a purple or lavender theme, lilac coordinates perfectly without competing with the main honoree's gown.
Light Blue is a clear, soft sky blue — not icy or powder blue, but a true soft blue that sits between those two. It is probably the most unique of the three options and works especially well for spring and summer events or venues with natural light. Under warm lighting it stays true without going too yellow.
All three colors come with the same 3D butterfly appliqués and glitter tulle, so the texture and sparkle level are identical across colorways. The choice really comes down to your event's color palette and your daughter's preference. If the celebration has specific colors, choose the shade that complements the main honoree's gown without matching it too closely — a little sister or court member should stand out as her own person.
If you are deciding between two colors and can't see them in person, our team is happy to help. Text us at +1 416-536-2956 or reach us on WhatsApp at +1 213-868-3131 and we can talk through the options with you.
Bella Princess PK1001 is a tulle ballgown with 3D butterfly appliqués, so it needs gentle handling to keep those dimensional details intact. For spot cleaning, use a damp white cloth and blot rather than rub. For a full clean after the event, professional dry cleaning is the safest option — tell the cleaner about the 3D appliqués so they handle the dress face-out and don't press down on the butterflies.
For storage, hang the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and can yellow tulle over time. Keep it away from direct sunlight.
For travel, lay the skirt flat in a large suitcase and stuff the inside of the bodice with acid-free tissue paper to hold its shape. The cape can be folded loosely on top. Most wrinkles in tulle shake out on their own after the dress hangs for a few hours — if you need to speed that up, use a handheld steamer on a low setting held at least six inches from the fabric. Never iron tulle directly.
For shoes, a low block heel or a flat dress sandal works best for a child wearing a full-length ballgown. Ballet flats in silver, white, or a color matching the dress are a safe and comfortable choice for a full day of celebrating. Avoid very high heels — the skirt length is designed for flat or low-heel shoes, and a heel that is too tall can cause her to step on the hem.
For accessories, keep it simple so the butterfly appliqués remain the focal point. Small stud earrings or small drop earrings in silver or pearl complement the glitter tulle without competing with it. A delicate hair accessory — a small tiara, a floral crown, or butterfly hair clips to match the dress theme — works perfectly. A simple bracelet or a small beaded bag completes the look without overloading it.
Avoid statement necklaces: the sweetheart neckline and thin spaghetti straps look best without anything across the chest. The butterfly appliqués at the neckline do enough visual work on their own.
The ballgown silhouette in Bella Princess PK1001 is one of the most universally flattering shapes for young girls because the full skirt draws attention to the bodice and face rather than the hips or midsection. The sweetheart neckline creates a soft, pretty frame for the face regardless of body type.
For slimmer girls, the volume of the tulle skirt creates a full princess silhouette. For girls with more curves or a fuller midsection, the fitted corset bodice and flared skirt draw the eye upward and outward, which is a classic and flattering proportion. The corset lacing means the bodice can be let out or pulled in to fit her actual measurements rather than relying on a fixed seam.
Sizes run from 3 through 16. Bella Princess cuts generously for children's formalwear, so if she is between sizes, we recommend sizing up and using the corset back to take in the bodice. The skirt length may need a minor hem adjustment on shorter girls in larger sizes — this is a quick and inexpensive alteration at any tailor.
Bella Princess PK1001 ships from Marlas Fashions warehouses in Los Angeles and New York, with Canadian orders fulfilled from our Toronto warehouse. Standard delivery takes 7 to 12 business days after your order is placed. Rush shipping is available if you need the dress sooner — select rush at checkout or contact us to confirm availability before your event date.
There are no import duties for orders shipping within the United States or Canada. International orders ship with full tracking and are delivered to most countries worldwide. If your event is within four weeks, we recommend reaching out before you order so we can confirm the best shipping option for your timeline. All orders ship with a tracking number so you can follow the dress every step of the way. Every Bella Princess PK1001 order is hand-inspected before shipping so the fit and finish arrive flawless. If you are between sizes on the Bella Princess PK1001, send our team your measurements before ordering and we will advise. Popular colorways of the Bella Princess PK1001 sell out quickly each season, so early orders get first pick.
Marlas Fashions accepts returns for store credit, exchanges, or a refund with a 30% restocking fee. Store credit never expires, so there is no pressure to use it right away. If the fit is close but not quite right, an exchange for a different size is usually the simplest path — the corset back gives you some room to adjust, but if the bodice is more than an inch off, a size swap is worth doing before the event.
To make the return process easy, keep the original packaging and do not remove the tags until you are certain about the dress. Try it on at home as soon as it arrives, with the shoes she'll wear, so you have enough time to exchange if needed. If you have any questions about sizing before you order, our team can help you choose the right size based on her measurements. Our stylists fit the Bella Princess PK1001 in the boutique every week and know exactly how it runs. Orders ship from Los Angeles, New York, or Toronto in 7 to 12 business days, with rush options available.
Most children's quince-style gowns use flat fabric embellishments — printed butterflies or flat appliqués that sit flush with the dress. Bella Princess PK1001 uses fully three-dimensional butterfly appliqués: each butterfly is raised off the tulle so it has real depth and texture. Under event lighting, the wings catch the light differently from every angle, which gives the dress movement even when she's standing still.
The detachable butterfly cape is also unusual at this price point. It is not a separate purchase — it comes with the dress and is specifically designed to match the gown's butterfly theme. The glitter tulle base fabric adds shimmer across the entire dress without looking costume-like, keeping the overall effect formal and refined rather than theatrical.
For a mini quinceañera or a little sister's moment in the spotlight, the combination of the dimensional appliqués, the full ballgown volume, and the matching cape makes this gown stand out in a room full of party dresses.
