Help! Wedding outfit ideas for jeans-loving dd!

5 replies

We're going to a smart wedding in a country hotel in March and the dress code is morning/lounge suit. Trouble is, my lovely dd (nearly 13) is absolutely adamant that she will not wear a dress or skirt. She lives in scruffy jeans and black tee-shirts. I'm planning to take her shopping at half-term to try and persuade her to try wearing something a bit more feminine but I'm dreading it already! We can both be very stubborn so I know I'm going to need to compromise here. Please has anyone got any good ideas?

What about some coloured skinny jeans? If she's only 12 she could get away with these at a formal wedding with a smartish top

You could maybe start with insisting on a skirt and then work you way onto them Wink

I can tell you've done this before!
