Stuck for a dress for DD...need something in a bigger size that's similar

DD actually wants to wear a dress. This is unusual as she spends her life in tracksuit bottoms or leggings, so I'm willing to go a bit out of the way to try to sort something for her.
Unfortunately the dress she has set her sights on only goes up to a size 11-12 and size/shape wise she is more a 13yr old size.
This is the dress -

Any thoughts on where a similar style in a sightly larger size could be found?

How about this with a vest top underneath? www.missguided.co.uk/grey-wrap-bardot-skater-dress-10118877

You guys are so good. The grey bardot dress is similar but it doesn't have the over the shoulder straps that she likes from the RI one. She also likes the detailing over the chest on the RI one...why can't they make them in bigger sizes!!!
She doesn't like the ASOS ones...could tell me why just she doesn't like it. I think she is going to be heartbroken when she goes to try on the RI one and it may not close on her....anyway, we'll find out tomorrow if they have the dress in stock and if they have it in the 11-12 size...she may see something else entirely and end up getting that #fingerscrossed

You could try searching for an adult size 4 or 6 instead of specific child sizes. Might throw up some options for you.

@Metellaestinhortobibit - I showed her the Amazon dresses and there was one or two of them that she liked the look of.

We went trying on dresses yesterday and found a couple that she wasn't turning her nose up at (which is progress, as there was a lot of "No, don't like it" when I was taking dresses off the rails to show her)...so we have made progress and she can see that there are options (limited at the moment as not all of the shops have their spring/summer collections in yet).

Thanks again to those who have made suggestions...we are slowly making progress with this Flowers
