I still want her to look like a little girl though.

She liked that one slightly more.

I really like the ted baker jumpsuit!

That Ted Baker jumpsuit is fab! Both my nieces were around 10/11 at my wedding and they both wore Ted Baker dresses and sparkly trainers. They had chosen their own outfits and were delighted to look similar (they're cousins). They both looked gorgeous.

Have a look at Zara. They have dresses that are a bit trendier and not prom in style.

or jumpsuits

Try scanning through eBay. We have got some really fun designer dresses by doing this.

My DD has this from Next (last summer). She's 10. It's dressy but still a bit more grown up. I think Next have a good selection and you can order a few to try at home and see which she likes.
If she compromises on the dress you can always reward her with glamorous shoes! Wink
