Wedding guest dress for 13yo/10 yo/me

8 replies

Eightandahalfyears · 08/11/2021 19:47

We’ve got a wedding in February, all in one venue so no standing around in the cold. My DD will be just 13. She’s 5ft 6”, legs up to armpits and a size 8. I’ve got no idea where to even start looking for a dress for her. I’m conscious that with even the slightest bit of makeup that she looks about 18 so I don’t want anything too adult for her but obviously she is desperate not to wear a “little girl” dress.

Then I have my 10yo DD who wants to wear a pretty dress.

Then me, 40, size 12, HUGE boobs. Need to look classy but with understated sexy (will be going with partner).

So wonderful people in my phone, which websites should I be looking please? Or do you know of any specific items that would fit the bill?

River Island do lovely dresses for teens. “Older looking” but nicely cut. H&M might also be good and I’d look at tall range. Asos have lovely dresses that are classy and don’t bare all.

New Look have loads of dresses - my dd2 (14) was spoilt for choice she’s a 8/10 and a little shorter than your dd. I’ll post the one we got but it’s probably too plain for a wedding
My dd will wear it over Christmas and will accessorise with a headband and maybe some sort of sparkle

She got this in a deep red (not the bright one on the website)
For us it was neither too ‘adult’ but not a child’s dress either
The green looked lovely

OP if you have time I recommend looking on this site

www.queenletiziastyle.com/blog

at what the two Spanish princesses wear, for ideas. They are a bit older than your daughter but always look fashionable, smart and their age, even when wearing quite short dresses.

I’d try Dorothy Perkins online for you - lots of flattering necklines for bigger boobs?

Have you looked at chi chi or 'never fully dressed' for you? Or John Lewis's. You can filter by neckline on some of them.

As for 13 year old i would try and get her a dress from the teen range somewhere or she may well end up looking 18!! and I'd opt for knee length not mini as think is more suited to a wedding but I may be being old fashioned!
