Teen girl tuxedo / three piece suit

Help!

This is very much not my area of expertise! DD has a formal dance at school coming up and would like to wear a (trouser) suit appropriate to the occasion. I have no idea where to look. We found something she sort of liked on Amazon (photo attached), but fairly sure cheap Chinese from Amazon is not the best option.

Budget prob max £150ish (to also include shirt / tie / tailoring). Could maybe push it a little bit for something perfect.

Don't seem to be any hire options near where I live.

How old/ what size is she? If an adult size 6 / 8, I would just google women tuxedo and I'm sure loads of options will come up. I would start with Zara and Mango. By 3 piece suit do you mean with vest as well? that may make it more complicated, maybe you could buy separately.

What size/shape is she? Tall and thin/flat chested she will probably be ok with a slim fit men’s or boys one.

If she is curvy or wants a fitted women’s one that’s different.

She's 13, women's (UK) size 8/10.

I'm fairly sure a male fit would just look really odd on her, as she is quite curvy.

Will look at Mango / Zara.

She likes waistcoat but not a deal breaker.

My DD got a lovely dressy trouser suit with cropped jacket on ASOS a while back. Wore it with a white bandeau top under.

They are out there.

Quiz might be worth a look?
