Hello, my daughter is a violinist. We used to buy dresses for concerts from Monsoon, Polo, Mayoral etc since she was little. But now she is nearly same height as me and I have no idea where to buy dresses for her.
It would be great if you share your idea please!

Monsoon doe some dresses up to age 15, see the Storm range, you are more likely to find them online than in store.

I did find around that age that my DDs were not interested in party style dresses and preferred a black skirt or trousers with a dressy black or white top similar to what they wore for orchestra. So you might like to check out ranges that do adult size 4, 6, 8 - you will often find bargains in these sizes.

Funnily enough I’m just looking for DD12; like your DD she is tall and has started to buy adult clothes in a 6/8. I’ve suggested a black jumpsuit to DD - her dress code is black shirt with long back skirt or trousers. John Lewis have a few. But this might not fit your dress code.

ASOS ? It will show you a lot of the high street on there too. There will be a lot of inappropriate ones, but they do size 4 / 6 / 8 and you can filter on different things. Some of their own designed one can be lovely.

I’ve used this website and they have larger kids sizes plus the adult size 6 fits my small 12yo.

I got a beautiful black jumpsuit from Boden in a size 6 for DD violinist. Alternatively, Shein have loads of black stuff - cheaper but not as good quality although for the little wear blacks get I don't think that really matters...
