[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was having a hard time finding a dress for my tall 12 year old that wasn't tight, short and low-cut for her friend's Bat Mitzvah. I just wanted to share that we got this dress and it worked out great:

Some of her friends who were also trying to strike the balance of looking good but not too provocative (or their parents were) [b]came out looking slightly on the babyish side. [/b]But this one was a hit. DD looked sophisticated but the dress was not revealing. Shows just a bit of skin in the back, but she was comfortable with it. The site has some other cute options, too.

I hope this helps![/quote]

The dress is lovely, and I'm sure your child looked beautiful. I still would have preferred the "babyish" dresses. Your child is 12. She has the rest of her teen years to wear short dresses with cutouts. I don't care if my child looks sophisticated at 12. Stop criticizing her friends parents who want their 12 year old children to look like children. [/quote]

Op here. Thanks for your comment. Do you have a child around this age? Because I can tell you that most of the girls (almost everyone) at the bat mitzvahs wear dresses like this:

This is no exaggeration. I am just saying that it's hard to find something that looks sophisticated, but not too mature. A kid is not comfortable in a sea of peers dressed like that-- wearing something that looks like it could have come from the Children's Place. DD's friend texted her mom angrily from the event that her dress was all wrong. (I thought this girl looked very beautiful. But "young" considering the crowd.) Hence, my post. I hope it was helpful to some.

If you have a different experience, please let me know. Maybe it is a regional thing. I am in NYC area.[/quote]

No good deed goes unpunished. It would have added to the variety had I seen any girls wearing a similar dress at the last bar/bar mitzvah I attended. I live in manhattan, so I know exactly what you are talking about. So nice that you and your daughter enjoyed picking out a dress. I have two sons, so I have to content myself to picking out fun socks and pajamas! [/quote]
