| I have an 11yo and I think it's beautiful and totally appropriate. |

SHE likes it! That's the important thing here. I just about guarantee that in two years, she herself would want to return it as being too young for her. But right now? Let her keep the dress she likes. |

It's not appropriate and she will look silly at her age in it.
My DD is 13. I love smock dresses. Love them. Every single dress I bought for her was smocked. In fact, we had a few almost exactly like this one. That being said, the last time she wore a smocked dress was 3rd grade. Even in the south were smocked dresses are more of a thing, 3rd grade tends to be the limit. There is a reason that smocked dresses are often not made in sizes past 8. |

+1. If she likes it, she should wear it. |

| The price is inappropriate for an 11 year old, but not the dress. The smocking isn't obvious in that color. |

Give her a clutch to carry and she'll feel a little older and grown up no matter what she's in!
I think it's cute. |

The smocking is not the typical toddler dress variety at all.
Heck, a 40-yr old woman could wear the women's version of that to her office holiday party. I'm not remotely getting an immature vibe. |

It's a beautiful dress and very appropriate for an 11 year old.
(The only thing that would give me pause is the price, but it's a gift so that mitigates that concern somewhat.) |

+1. Like a PP, I thought the dress would be Disney princess-y. This dress is classy. |

Reminds me of something Kiernan Shipka would wear. She always had very modest necklines but pretty fabrics.

My 11 yo dd is 5'4, and would not wear that. If I was picking out a random dress for an 11 yo, I would never pick that one! I love smocked dresses on younger girls.
But but but, if your daughter likes it, that's all that matters. |

| 7:03, the dress you posted is nice for a tween, but it does not resemble OP's dress st all. |
