Not sure why so many are encouraging super short and tight dresses for 13 year olds...can't that at least wait until high school? I don't get people who want their middle schoolers to look like hookers.

Tell me you don’t have a teen girl without telling me…

Ok grandma. None of these dresses would make a 13 year old look like a hooker. And if that’s what you think, that is most definitely a you problem.

I am convinced that 75% of the people on this thread either have kids still in ES, or they last parented a teen or tween more than 20 years ago, because some of these responses and suggestions are wild.

Only $30 on Amazon. Shorten the hem a bit if you want. Use the coverup for the ceremony and remove the coverup for the party.

I know people don’t like it but is there a link to this dress or the previous Amazon dress?

This thread is a train wreck. OP- take your kid to Nordstrom Rack and have her pick out a dress she likes. Do not make her look like a young kid or a 40 year old. Think teen.

Sorry girl moms, but a lot of the short skirt dresses look really trashy. Just like all the leggings that girls go around in to high school. I have a teen boy, and he comments a lot that the girls at his school dress poorly thinking they look good/sexy/flirty when they'd look much better in a less clingy outfit or a full sweater. And if I had a girl, I wouldn't buy her mid-thigh hem dresses. They are just too hard to sit in.

I do like the Nordstrom Rack dress that is high/low with the jeweled belt.

I sense that the divide here is between the moms who think their daughters are dressing fun and flirty and the rest of us who think we're wading through a sea of garbage fast fashion.

In particular, I know many women wish trendy dresses would go back to having sleeves. It's a pain to try and coordinate appropriately matching shrugs/cardigans/etc. to go stylishly with the all too common sleeveless dresses. Same problem applies to many of these occasion dresses suggested for teens. Have to find that topper that works with the bust size and also works correctly with the dress's waist so the line's not spoiled. More wasted time for mom.

That's insulting.

Trust me, it was not. And it wasn't really a tee shirt. More like a dress shirt, but with no collar. Some kids were wearing the most outrageous things to the service or even worse, did not show up at all.
