Formal wear for a 10 year old girl?

We've been invited instructed to attend a formal evening meal in the spring. Our lives are very far removed from such affairs and I don't have a clue what counts as (British) formal any more. Posh restaurant wear for us would be jeans and a collared shirt without tie. This is what DH and DS will wear.

But I've no idea what I or, more importantly, DD should wear. She won't wear dresses. She is not into frilly, floaty or impractical things although is partial to a bit of sparkle. Can't wear polyester. I have no idea what style of things to look at. What do you all advise?

@SleepingStandingUp Yes, that's pretty much what I was thinking of too! OP's DS sounds a bit tall and old to wear that as formal wear - but it's just my opinion, of course. I think formal shorts can look sweet on younger boys.
