@shopping help for DD@

[nancybotwin]

DD is 12. She is in kids’ size 12. She needs a white dress for camp. She likes sporty looks (no frills, no eyelet, no ruffles or ties) and we cannot find anything. I am hoping someone can refer me to a store or online site that I haven’t looked at or don’t know.

Not sporty, but not ruffled or anything.

What about something like this? Girls' Henley Dress

[circa1978]

Sporty dress/camp makes me think of Ralph Lauren right away. Not sure of your price point but in my experience, it wears and resells very well:

Basic white Polo dress

With sleeves and a belt, if color is allowed

Basic Polo dress with a flounce

Variation with lace but very streamlined (and on sale) - This one is my personal favorite


ETA: If rompers are allowed, this one from J. Crew is sporty and cute. 

And it doesn't get more basic than this dress from Zara.

sporty tennis dress, with built in shorts, no collar, from old navy:

Bonus, it is a skort: www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/kids/p/pleated-active-airknit-skort-dress-48088323?seq=02&cmp=PLA:EVG:20:K:K:US:X:GGL:X:SHOP:X:X:X:X:x:SC+Shopping+-+afk+-+LIA_All+Products_PRODUCT_GROUP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsdiTBhD5ARIsAIpW8CLMb7pIcjfAFLRm9keT55zdmW1UgvjYrS7LNhbsRrR1TW5adRoZPRgaAv-CEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

My 12 year old also needs a white dress/outfit for camp. Hers is a Y camp and kids wear a mix of everything. I got her a white Tshirt and simple white skirt at the thrift store.

Altar’d State has a bunch of white dresses right now. She could do an XS.

[keh2oblue]

My 13yo had to get this dress (in black) for chorus, but it also comes in white. It’s basically a jersey material:

Out of curiosity, why do they need white dresses at camp?

[bronxgirl]

nancybotwin , is it a Jewish camp? Does she need it for Shabbat? I love looking at clothes for my daughter who is the same age so I'll be on the lookout and let you know if I see anything.

She goes to a Jewish camp and they need white dresses for Shabbat

I just saw this when I was shopping for DD and remembered this post.

Does it have to be a dress or would a skirt and top work? Target has a tennis skirt that is a LLL dupe…it’s adults size but IMO the wild fable brand runs small so the XS might work for her.

Thanks! I think a dress is probably more of her style…

Thanks cleo29. She won’t do preppy - her ideal would be a sleeveless dress with a defined waist and flair skirt down to her knee.

It’s just near impossible to find!

This has a bow on the back, but I bet you could snip it off

nancybotwin, I like this one better. This neckline tends to be really flattering.

I’m on my phone and can’t tell if that is clicky but it’s a basic of basic white cotton dress with short sleeves.I know you said she’d prefer sleeveless but maybe she’d settle for short sleeves.

I think this one is great.

Might be more than you want to spend, though.

If she's a smaller 12 she could wear this www.primary.com/collections/kids-dresses-rompers?color=white&colorFamily=neutrals&size=12&sizeFamily=kids&page=1&ref=nav_link_1_5

I think they run a little on the small side, but they don't have size 14 in white.

I was on Tuckernuck earlier and they have a lot of white dresses and most come in xxs or xs too.

[livinitup]

When DD was that age, I went to Marshalls and had luck with white tennis dresses for tennis camp. They were sporty and one was even sleeveless with a nice drop waist. Maybe you’ll get lucky.

[So_Fetch]

what about the halara dress that has built in shorts under it?

not sure if a women's xsmall would work.
