I sense she'll be comfortable because, as soon as she tried it on, my daughter loved the dress (and proceeded to email a photo of herself in it to her friend for feedback). The friend corroborated that she the dress was special. And while I am concerned that my daughter feel beautiful and comfortable at this event, I'm not particularly concerned about what other parents think. I care what she thinks, and what I think. My child will not be wearing makeup, or "sexy shoes". She's not busty - as I was at that age - so her breasts are not prominent in the dress. It also fits in a lovely way, not too tight, not too roomy. I do appreciate, though, your expressing something that many others may be thinking. I guess time will tell whether this was a sound decision... Keep in mind though, I've lived with my kid for her whole life and, for her many qualities, she's no shrinking violet.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-78455865509368543082012-06-18T20:20:28.304-04:002012-06-18T20:20:28.304-04:00OK, junior high teacher here.

Will your child be comfortable if she wears a short, red, strapless, cocktail dress to an elementary school function?

Her graduation is not a fancy affair, just an assembly on the last day and a march down the yard-stick arch held by all the teachers. She announced to me last week she had to have a new dress. She never wears dresses unless forced to. We went Friday evening and had a terrible time, but compacted into about 1 hour. We went to The Mall and checked out all the Junior's stores. There was nothing appropriate that could be worn to school. I finally steered her to the kids dept of Macy's and we found a very cute polka-dot sun dress that will do nicely. It is not little girlish but it is not grown up either. She was suspicious of my taste since I am ancient (much older than you and her friends moms). We bought it and went over to her friend's house and it was pronounced beautiful. The deal is that if I was given a little lead time I could have made something better. We did get some extra use out of it since we were at a wedding all day Saturday and she wore it then. <br />I feel your tween shopping pain. I, also, have always bought my daughter's clothes. She just doesn't really care, most of the time.<br />I think that may be changing.VictoriaRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-36128000867895723262012-06-18T15:52:16.483-04:002012-06-18T15:52:16.483-04:00Super pretty!

I think it is more awkward to force a maturing girl into a dress that is too young looking. If my 8 year old saw it she would want it now, but she will have to wait a bit.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11393847636501599146noreply@blogger.com
