Help! 16 year old DD wedding guest dress! ?

Please can someone suggest a nice dress, suitable for a fancy wedding for a 16 year old. I'm at the end of my tether ordering and sending things back! Ahh!

She has tried a few and hates them all- too long, too frilly, too puffy sleeved, too revealling (my opinion), too pink, etc. the list of faults goes on.

She's a size 6, 5'5" and likes to be trendy- usually shops at urban Outfitters, Hollister, Pretty Little thing etc.

We want something trendy, but still dressy and not too 'old' for her or something skimpy she would wear to a teenage party.

@Sssloou - thanks for the Pull&Bear recommendation. DD has found a great pair of joggers on there.
@FreekStar2 - that dress is gorgeous.

@FreekStar2 I bought the dress from boohoo posted at the beginning of thread, in cobalt blue - it's gorgeous

What about a pleated midi skirt (maybe in a metallic purple like the dress she owns) with a (not too cropped) crop top?

I almost had a heart attack at the length of some of the dresses then remembered going out in a suede mini miniskirt, pretty much backless halter and platform mules in the nineties at that age 😁. I feel really old.
