I think most FCPS publics have a 6th grade ceremony of some sort. Ours did.
The dress the PP posted was typical. Most girls wore nice dresses like that. |

| DD "graduated" from 6th grade FCPS last year. Girls wore dresses, but nothing very fancy. I wouldn't spend more than $30. Think "dress casual". Not sundresses, but nothing fancy either. We got DD's dress at Burlington. Any of the department stores would have a fine selection as well. |

SF poster here. Graduation was this morning. the dresses ran the full spectrum - from super casual to gowns my DD would have worn to a wedding. One girl looked like she'd dressed as Slutty Secretary, with an over-the-knee skintight pencil skirt that was super high-waisted. All different colors.
The boys were dressed up too, and that also ran the full spectrum. Khakis and a polo to what I think of as "easter shorts with a button-down short sleeve shirt and bow tie to full on suits. |

We did a summer type dress, but added a fancier cardigan with it.
Also ask the school secretary, they usually have a good sense of the type of clothes. |

| When DD graduated 6th grade we went to Kohls for a dress and ran into three classmates, lol. Most dresses were summer/casual at the ceremony and a few were very fancy... |

Go to Brass Plum at Nordstrom,depending on your DD's size. My DD is 5 feet tall so the dresses there are starting to fit her (size XS there).
H and M? |

Please raise your hand if your 6th grader would wear this to her graduation. And halter tops are a no no. |

Are they wearing graduation gowns over their clothes?
And double check there is not a theme - I went to a public school and the attire was white dresses. Some went fancier than others. |

Would something like this work? (public school, 5th grade):

| My DD does not like dresses. She does not actually own any. Do you think she needs to wear a dress? Could she wear trousers? |

SF poster from before. My DD is a total tomboy and also doesn't like dresses either. EVERY SINGLE girl there was wearing a dress. She kept saying she didn't want to wear one, but I am glad I forced the issue. As weird as it may have felt to be wearing a dress after not having worn one in so long, she'd have felt MUCH more uncomfortable wearing pants. |
