Where does one buy nice girls' clothes for big 11 and 12 year olds?

Don't do cheap.
Don't do slaggy.
Don't do overly sloaney.
My dd is very tall and the size of a woman but I don't want to dress her like one.
Anywhere apart from rather dull Boden pre-teen stuff? I have bought them a lot of Mini Boden over the years but she's too big for it now and it's too babyish I feel.

Fat Face? Not as sloany as Jack Wills.
Benetton?
John Lewis?
Gap (skinny jeans and tees)

Not sure really as DD not that old but with you on horrid slutty/cheap in Sone stores.

They seem to keep a low profile these days.

I buy for dd in:
Fat face
Boden and their teen section which she thinks is very cool ( although I am sure she would not use the word cool)
John Lewis
Zara
Surprisingly I bought her a few bits for Christmas from river island . I thought it would be awful but there are a few nice things .

I used to buy in Bennetton when dd was younger, as you say it doesn't really hit the radar.

We also use joules and jigsaw
