We've had a close family wedding announced unexpectedly and I'm in a dilemma with DD2. Both DDs live in skinny jeans, hoodies and converse but elder DD is quite excited about the prospect of getting a girly dress and will happily try on loads in Monsoon/Next till we find something, so not a problem.
DD2 on the other hand hates dresses and skirts and hates shopping more. She's reluctantly agreed she might wear a dress as it's a special occasion, but only if she likes it, and she wants to be shown it online and order it, not have to go to actual shops. So far we've established that she likes plain fabrics or graphic patterns at a push (no ditsy prints, no animal prints, definitely nothing floral), strong colours esp red and purple (no pastels), definitely no frills, sequins, bows, embroidered flowers etc - which rules out most of the kids 'occasion wear' I've seen. (I'm aware this makes her sound v demanding but I'm not about to put her in something she hates because it will ruin her enjoyment of the day.)
I've looked at Monsoon, Next and Boden so far and (possibly because it's the end of summer and the Christmas occasion wear isn't yet in) have come up with a big fat zero. The wedding is October so we've a few weeks but I know once school goes back, time will fly. Any suggestions for other online shops that have funky or non-girly but dressed up outfits that I could scope out?
