It needs to be:

floaty
Suitable for a 14yo
long (3/4 length minimum)
can be glitzy but it's not essential

Age 14 or size 6

TIA

Not sure if this dress is long enough?

Or there's this dress

Or this skirt and top combination

Would a coloured skirt would be acceptable with a black top? If so how about a pink skirt or one of these

Thanks but no some of those would take too long to arrive, the red & black lace ones are too grown up

I like the red halter neck is nice, but I don't think long enough

But thanks everyone for trying; I'm she not being intentionally awkward....honest

I'm giving up; she is being awkward (possibly intentionally Hmm)

When is it needed for?

Not sure whether this one has a full enough skirt?

Or is this one possible - it says 55" long although it doesn't look that long in the picture

Do you know what kind of length measurement you're after?

This is interesting - would it count as in your face?

She decided I had to make one; the results are on my profile

I'm not very impressed but we will see

Its not red, or the sytle she wanted - but she picked the material & pattern, so I made it

Thanks for looking tho'
