Dresses For Petite

Question: My daugter is very petite. she needs a dress for a dance.?

She wears 00 size jeans. She is tall. The problem is the stores like Forever21, Rue 21 and all the mall stores only carry size small and they are too big. If we go to the kids department, they all look like babies. Does anyone have a suggestion where we can get a dress for a semi- formal dance? She is in 8th grade and don't want anything to revealing, but nothing out of a the kids department either.

OMG I so know what you're going through! I have the exact same prob. And good news, it NBD(no big deal) Just take her to her fav store, let her pick her fav dress and afterwards take the dress to a trusted tailor who can alter the dress to fit her perfectly* She'll rock the party

You may just have to buy a dress and have it altered. A pain I know, but I'm very thin too and I've just about given up trying to find clothes that fit well off the rack. Alterations are pretty inexpensive.
