party dress/jumpsuit suggestions for 10/11 yr old

I have caved in and agreed to buy a new dress/jumpsuit for my 10 year old's school leaving disco. Or it could be used if in good condition. We're struggling!

So far we've found one she liked but it's out of stock:
www.riverisland.com/p/girls-navy-bardot-frill-lace-jumpsuit-836691

She is just over 140cm tall. No development yet (no bust etc) and she is very slim, with pale skin. She wants something that says special occasion, but will run a mile from anything princessy.

Any ideas gratefully received!

a few ideas:

this dress with some ballet pumps and a silver necklace (try here to dress it up a bit) and some ballet pump type shoes

you could also get a light coloured jumpsuit like this, and provided you didnt like the current colour you could dye it using this, which you just place in the washing machine with the item. the jumpsuit i linked is similar-ish to the one you linked.

all the best x

Thank you sleep! I’m starting to wonder if a dress will be easier to fit than an off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, given her extreme slimness. Might need to try a few different styles.
