Petit vintage style swing dresses

Anyone got any recommendations of online retailers who do swing dresses in petit lengths/sizes. 13yr daughter wants one to wear to wedding in summer but online pictures all look like they come to the knee and in a regular size I think these will swamp her.

How tall is your daughter. Can she wear adult size 6/8?

Quite, not wife. Obviously.

She is 5 foot and can fit into adult sizes but it is the length of a lot of dresses that are the problem. She is quite quirky in her taste and looking for a retro style dress and print. Any idea welcomes.

Also I know a lot of mumnetters buy from Lindybop just wondering what their length and sizing is like and as most of the dress seem to be polyester will they be a too hot for a wedding in August.

I have 2 or 3 Lindybop dresses - they're cotton and come to my knee. I'm 5'3.

I think they give the dress length in the sizing information on the website, so you can get an idea of where it would fall on your daughter.

Asos has a wide range of inexpensive petite dresses, which are, not necessarily vintage/retro, but quirky: Like this one

She might have to trawl through lots of dresses but the sheer range will give her an idea of styles and develop her taste further.
