Wedding guest outfit for 14yr old

Help oh wise women of S&B! I need to help my DD find an outfit to wear to a family wedding. She's 14, about a size 10/12 (she gets her womanly hips from me!) and does not enjoy shopping. No easy access to shops so online best, but I can get to the usual suspects next week if needed. It's a fairly informal wedding, and at last partly outdoors. No floaty dresses, but otherwise very open to suggestions. She wants to look her age, not 'grown up' or childish. Help!

Would she wear a jumpsuit? Something like this perhaps....

Ooh, she loves a jumpsuit and that is lovely! Not sure about sizing though, Next tend to prefer girls not to have hips or thighs so may not fit well, but worth trying on definitely.

That jumpsuit is really nice. Personally, have always found Next very accommodating of hips and thighs. I have terrible cyclists thighs and get nearly all my jeans from Next!!

The good thing with the Next directory is you can get loads of different stuff to try in one delivery ( next day too). She can try it all on at home- in privacy, with different shoes or jackets etc which she already owns. Then return all the unwanted items to the local branch if you have one.

Maybe this jumpsuit. I think would be age appropriate Smile

I confess I had no idea about how much Next have! We tried the local store which was utterly dire and I dismissed them. I shall make her sit and browse tomorrow as there are also a few lipsy dresses I think she would like so as you say I can order several things.

There's no way she'd go for the pink debenhams jumpsuit though, she's too self conscious about her tummy and is NOT a pink fan. I will have a look on Debenhams though as that's another one I hadn't thought of.
Thanks for the suggestions, really helpful!
