[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, thanks.  I guess I'm being too sensitive.  She has some social issues and often misses appropriate social cues, especially about clothing, and she's been teased in the past.  (Also she really doesn't care about clothes at all, so when she says she "likes it" that often just means "it's not itchy.")

I love the Kieran Shipka dress.  Her clothes are always perfect.

Of course, the bigger issue is that, now that I think about, I cannot think of anyplace she really can wear something that formal.  We already went to the Nutcracker.  She's wearing a costume for Christmas mass (in the play).  And we're not going anywhere for Christmas -- no family around and so we'll probably just open presents and go to the movies.  Oh well.  It's yet another thing from this particular relative that will sit in the closet with the tags on and never get worn.[/quote]

OMG it's $125!  And to just accept it never being worn.  Ugh.  I'd return it on price alone, if that's the case.

I have an 11 year old and I don't think it reads as too young.  it is very dressy, though, so without a place to wear it (if the price doesn't give you pause) that's the reason I'd return it.  I don't think it's wearable in the spring or another time, so it would truly go to waste.  [/quote]

If she likes it, find somewhere to wear it! Dinner? church? have a NYE party for just you?[/quote]
