I am desperatly looking for a dress for my 12 year old daughter to wear to her sister's clothing day. Problem is we can't find anything her size!!! Yesterday my dh (what a saint,doing all that shopping) and I searched the whole Kansas city area looking for a dress. She would be about a size 18 or 20 girls because she is tall for her age. She wants something that looks dressy and girly (like bonnie jean and those) I have searched everywhere and even on line does anyone have an idea or knows of a website I might be missing that sells girls clothes in these sizes.

Thanks! God bless,

Its expensive but have you looked at Land's end? They usually have Easter/spring dresses and I know they have those sizes. Some Sears carry Lands end.

Jackie,

I read the most recent newsletter from the Benedictines. I saw the news about your daughters clothing. HOw exciting! My dd, who is almost 17 is going to visit them in June so she will meet your daughter.

In Hawaii I bought dresses there and have a friend who bought Easter dresses for her 5 daughters there. They are femenine, which I love, and the women's sizes start really small since there are so many Asian women there. I have 2 Mandys which have a real neckline , and wear them with lightweight cardigans. It's an idea. I don't know if they'll be something your daughter likes, and they are $$.

My daughter is 12 and we've moved into the Juniors department now. I fit into the Children's clothes better than she does now! I think if you look for retro style clothes you'd find something appropriate, think Jackie O's little dresses with the straight across shoulder to shoulder neckline. A very classy look that is really popular right now (meaning they might be in the stores).

If you are willing to do used, I've heard this is a pretty decent Thrift Store, Turnstyles, 100% of all net proceeds go to Catholic Charities, if you can make it out to Overland Park.

We have a skirt, now we need a dressy top/blouse for Easter and confirmation. We really like the CInnamon Girl stuff but need a solid blouse and the dresses would need an additional sweater.

The skirt is actually a twice handed down skirt that came home from college with DD#1--some juniors 0's might work if you look for a skirt.
Dresses are always too big in the middle and top if they fit the length.

DD#3 is my 3rd and this inbetween age is tough.
