Where to buy dress for 11 yo

My DD has her leavers party coming up and I am stumped about where to buy her a dress that isn’t too childish, but not too grown up either. And just generally where girls of that age are shopping at the moment.

Today we tried H&M - all too casual, New Look - some potential options but nothing quite right, Next - seems to stop before age 11, M&S - too childish looking.

Any suggestions for where to try next?

Zara Kids usually has nice pieces. Mine are younger but I think they go up to 13/14.

Next go up to 16 online and tend to be a bit edgier than M&S!

Thank you - my DD wanted to try Zara but there wasn’t one in the town we went to. Might try there next weekend.

River Island also has a kids section

River Island I’ll be able to tick off on the same trip as Zara. Good shout to look at Next online too.

Its seems to be a really tricky age where she doesn’t want to look childish anymore. I’m not much of a shopper either so was stuck on where to start looking.

Lipsy!
You can buy online.

Lipsy is on the Next online store and they have good dresses for that tricky age.
