DD is 19 (nearly 20). She’s going to quite a smart event in a few weeks time. Dress code cocktail. It’s social not work so can be a bit fun/ sexy.
Shes 5’4” and a size 6-8
Her usual dresses are not classy. She likes them tight and/or short and looks good -but no one would call her sophisticated.
Shes at a bit of a loss. Her cousin is wearing something lovely from anthropology but she’s not feeling anything from there. She’s also looked at REISS. Are there any other brands or shops she should consider? She keeps being drawn to house of CB but I don’t think they’re sophisticated enough. They’re also all skin tight!

Are we missing anything?
TIA

That’s gorgeous. Like a better version of her usual style! I’ve sent it to her. She’s rethinking the budget!

She’s thinking perhaps she doesn’t go tight and short. I think she’d better only one as it’s all going to be a bit South London posh- hence me suggesting Anthropology. However she does love this!

Black one is gorgeous. She’s definitely rethinking the budget….
