School summer dresses

Does anyone know where to get school summer dresses for older girls from please? DD (10) is hitting that age where she's a little curvy but all of the summer dresses I can find just go straight up and down. Are there any that accommodate for girls who are developing?
Thanks

M&S do a “plus size” range for children, but only the school dresses in two colours: www.marksandspencer.com/2-pack-girls-cotton-rich-plus-fit-dresses/p/clp60442468?color=MIDBLUE

Matalan ones always fitted my dd at that age

John Lewis perhaps?
A few years ago now, but DD's had a tie belt so you could nip in the waist, which presumably makes fitting the chest easier.

Interested in this thread?

Thanks all.
We used to buy John Lewis summer dresses actually. I love the quality and durability of them. I would just buy bigger sizes but they obviously get longer. At the moment she has 11-12 and it's mid shin. Any longer would look ridiculous!
