Holiday clothes for tall, slim teenager

Hi!

I need help! My daughter is at that weird ‘in-between’ age. Tall, slim, more than a girl… not yet a women (as the song goes)!

I’m looking for recommendations of stockists who supply bikinis, dresses, etc. for summer foreign holiday weather.

I’m hoping for a compromise of her idea of cool and trendy and my idea of age appropriate!

She’s 13, about 5’6’’ and a size 6 at the most.

Thank you!

My daughter is similar, though a couple of inches taller. We found Hollister brilliant this summer for her holiday wardrobe. They have almost everything in tall length but still small enough for a size 6-8 body.

Thank you! I’ll have a look online!

TBH I’m guessing at 5’6’’ - she seems to shoot up an inch every few months, so she could be taller! She’ll be taller than me soon and I’m 5’9’’.

It’s scary! It seems like only yesterday I was buying her first swimming costume aged 3-6 months, with a nappy liner! 🤦‍♀️😂

My DD is same height and size but she's 15. She has a lovely figure and is a gymnast so very toned and lean. I'm in awe of her! 🥹
She likes Hollister, Subdued, Primark, Brandy Melville, PLT, Bershka, Urban Outfitters and unfortunately, Shein.

Yes - my daughter just wants me to transfer her some money to spend on Shein but I think she’ll buy stuff designed for women in their 20s that won’t fit her properly!

She’s absolutely stunning but only 13! I want her to look as amazing as she is, but still to look like a young teenager, not like she’s on Love Island (which is probably what she wants/imagines)!
