Dd (4.5) has had a v hard time lately, I want to get her a fantastic dress for Saturday ... any ideas?

[imaginaryfriend]

For anyone who's been following my thread about dd and her recent health problems this will make more sense. But without going into it all again here she's a lovely girl, has been a total trooper through an extremely tough few months and is going to a dear friend's party at the weekend. I've been so stressed about her that I haven't even thought about what she might wear and would like to treat her to something really special. I've been scouting around online and can't find a thing. Maybe I'm too late to order something before Saturday anyhow ...

She doesn't like pink, super girly type things but loves bright colours and flower / stripey type patterns.

I should have said that part of what's wrong with her affects her looks facially so that's another reason I wanted her to feel special.

I always think Monsoon things look pretty, but maybe a bit girly?

gap generally have bright trendy dresses.

I am sorry to hear about her health problems btw, I had not followed your thread IF

this is bold and fun

I've bought dd some gorgous bright very Boden like stuff at George at Asda. Otherwise yes, Monsoon v lovely but fairly pink and girly.

bit more trendy?

colourful

that last dress is beautiful F&Z

if you had more time, like a month, as i can only sew after 9pm when kids are in bed, i would make her one. just how she would like it.

Oh I second monsoon - just had a look, they have some lovely girls dresses (not all fussy girly ones either!). Sooo wish I had a girl . Noce bright bold boys clothes are so hard to find.

I haven't read your other thread either, but hope she enjoys herself at the party.

ooh, i like the red one, very lily allen. is she a fan, IF? i'm not familiar with your dd's daughter either but i do hope you both have a wonderful time on saturday.

i only have boys and will never get to make a lovely dress.

House of Fraser do dresses by POP (a swedish company) they are really great dresses

red flowers

gorgeous!

This POP stuff is great!

F+Z all the ones you have picked from monsoon were the ones I was drooling over!

Fantastic selectoin. There's loads she'd go for here. The black and white spotty Debenhams one is right up her street. And the 'Imogen' Monsoon dress she'd love too.

I could even find time to nip to Debenhams or Monsoon I think before Saturday.
