Slim, not amazingly tall pre-teen bridesmaid

Trying to help a family member with bridesmaid dress shopping but there seems to be very little out there in the shops to try on.
Very slender pre-teen, just around the 5ft mark - in adult clothing, would probably fit a size 4-6. I say probably because we went shopping today and found absolutely nothing to try on.

In the old days we'd have gone to BHS or Debenhams as a starting point but in their absence, feeling a bit lost.

Can anyone suggest any high street shops that might actually carry stuff. Monsoon looks to be too babyish in occasionwear, Next didn't seem to have anything and House of Fraser was a total waste of time. Wedding is a few months off yet but feeling a bit lost.

Colour wise we're looking at pink/red/orange.

Have you tried ASOS? Often come in little sizes and have some lovely bridesmaid dresses - free returns!

Have you looked at Chi Chi London? Their bridesmaids dresses come in adult, older child and younger child.

I had the sane problem, I’ve ended up buying online and then getting a seamstress to alter.

We went to David's bridal is Stratford for a 13 year old - it had so many dresses.

Thanks for the ideas! London is do-able for us, but bride is in another area, hundreds of miles away, so can't necessarily directly see all dresses. Will suggest everyone takes a look to try to find something that meets everyone's requirements.
