Skip the veil and do a headband. How about this? They are out there if you look: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/us-angels-big-girls-the-erica-lace-dress?ID=13918028&tdp=cm_app~zMCOM-NAVAPP~xcm_zone~zPDP_ZONE_A~xcm_choiceId~zcidM05MVZ-8f53a5ce-3fcc-49bd-8650-ba35f6e428f4%40HB2%40Customers%2Balso%2Bshopped%2431460%2413918028~xcm_pos~zPos1~xcm_srcCatID~z31460

It took a lot of looking, but we found a simple cotton eyelet dress that was dressy enough but not bride-y. Instead of a veil, I made a little flower wreath for her to wear (it was small, not big and elaborate).

We found a beautiful & simple white dress, not bride-y at all (also not a Target sun dress) Also, no veil. DDs had a pearly hair clip. (DSs did not wear white suits). They all looked beautiful and respectful. Several other families will do the same.

Yes, but do the little girls see it that way? Or just as getting a fancy dress for a big occasion?
