Winter wedding outfit for 13yr old

We have a winter family wedding come up and my 13 year old daughter can't find anything to wear. She has very pale sensitive skin and doesn't wear fake tan so she would prefer to have her legs covered or at least a longer dress so no skater style dresses. I would be grateful for any suggestions, maybe a jumpsuit would work?

What about something like this?

Alternatively, I’d take her into her favourite shop, maybe with a friend, and give her the ‘brief’ of finding an outfit she’d like to wear. She’ll come up with some horrors, but she may also surprise you.

This is lovely!

This is lovely!

Just realised that this is the same as one of the jumpsuits I posted. Think that shows that it is a clear contender

What about this? With a metallic block heel Mary Jane and a fur coat.

I like the Next and velvet green with sash tie jumpsuits in fact the latter most. If I were a teenage girl I’d wear this out more to other occasions too.

Oh my goodness, so many ideas, thank you all soo much, I really appreciate you all taking the time to help me xx

There is such a HUGE difference between a 10yr old and 13 though. My daughters are 13 and 14 and would find some of these suggestions absolutely hilarious. Whilst we're all different, of course, suggesting that a 13yr old with an adult size 12 body wears Mary Janes, sparkly dresses or little stoles is setting them up to look ridiculous.

Thanks for all your help, we are nearly sorted 🙈 A dark green skater dress from Next, black buckled pumps from Office and patterned tights, we just need to get some sort of black jacket, we just tried on this neutral one to see what the shape looked like.

She looks very nice. I'm glad you have been able to find something she likes.

That looks really nice! New look can be good for jackets without spending a fortune, I’ve got a couple of jersey type fabric ones which are really comfy but still smart.

My daughter at that age wore a jumpsuit and converse to an exceptionally swanky / posh wedding and she looked fabulous. It even had pockets, which she loved lol

Next have an amazing amount of brands available online as well as their own items.

Don't forget TKMaxx - always an odd gem to be found there.

No point in spending big money on something she won't wear again Smile

We have bought and returned so many dresses at this stage, such an awkward age, the body of a woman but she's only a child!
