Hi, can anyone suggest some nice evening outfits for my very shy 14 year old DD? We're off on holiday to a casual hotel resort, so it's just something to wear to dinner, NYE etc. She lives in shorts, t shirts and slides during the day - whatever the weather!
She wouldn't like anything fitted (self-conscious about large bust) or too 'notice me!' She is not remotely girly and would rather eat her socks than wear a frock/ skirt. It needs to be comfy or she won't wear it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

my DD sounds literally identical to yours when she was that age! Her go-to nice-ish outfits (that were still comfortable) were slouchy jumpsuits or dungrees, like these (I'm sure you could find a kid's version somewhere, I only had a quick google!), SotRong Women's Linen Dungarees UK Wide Leg Jumpsuit with Pocket Loose Fit Playsuits Summer Boho Romper Sleeveless Strappy Overalls, Pink (XXL=UK16, EURO42) : Amazon.co.uk: Fashion with a somewhat fitted top underneath, like this Glitter Top (7-14 Yrs) | Kids Only | M&S. I'm sure you could achieve the same effect with an all in one jumpsuit, or a short jumpsuit and short sleeved top. The glittery tops used to make it feel a bit more dressy, and she didn't mind wearing a fitted top because her chest was covered by the dungarees (other than that she point blank refused!)

Hi thanks so much that's really helpful. I'm hopeless at fashion as my wardrobe consists of endless pairs of black jeans in varying shades of grey and the same jumper in about 6 different colours. Thank you!

No worries! A couple of options here:

Jumpsuits | Utility Playsuit | Blue Vanilla

Striped long jumpsuit - Kids | MANGO United Kingdom (would work with a black top, or a white one)

GORLYA Tween Girl Sleeveless Wide-Leg Jumpsuit For Sports And Leisure, Suitable For Back-To-School Season, School, Outdoor, Shopping, Walking, Or Party | SHEIN UK with a top similar to the sparkly one i linked above
