Help for dd DofE celebration award

Hello MN,

In a couple of weeks we are going to the palace for her award, been looking for dresses for 18yr old dd. Having had my feet walked off today we’re now looking on line.

She is looking for something summery, so perhaps some pattern, fitted, smart enough for the palace but can also be worn again too. She is very petite. Doesn’t seem keen on pastel colours.

Looking for an opinion on a dress she likes (I think it’s very pretty//suitable) she likes the white one but also to give an idea of style.

As well as opinions, also looking for a few more options. She suits quite strong colours too, greens, blues & reds. She has a lot of white dresses……

I don’t have a huge budget I’m afraid (up to about £100), have prom soon too which will set me back quite a bit more 🙂

@Userno1234567890
Im really not trying to be shirty. I thought that the picture would help.

On reflection I wanted suitable ideas, the dress was supposed to help give an idea of style & what dd liked.

I probably shouldn’t have asked for advice regarding the dress itself instead I should have asked for ideas based on style & no comment on dress.

I thought I had covered it in OP that we have 2 weeks to find something & our trip today was unsuccessful.

Sorry @CarpetKnees I should have tagged you.
