With girls the trick is to find something age appropriate in the correct size – not too short, low cut, or revealing, but still cute and stylish.  Our Victoria dress with multicolor polka dots has been a favorite with both kids and parents.  And it is available through size 16 so it is an option for both elementary school and middle school graduations.  The Nina dress is another style which has a nice length and a trendy tier style.

And as I always suggest, it is much easier to have your child wear an outfit if they had a party in picking it out!  So give them a few choices that you have already picked out and let them choose.  Always best to avoid an argument on a bid day.
