my dd is my 5ft 4 but only 23 inch waist(same height as me but not the waist)
as for going in you place quite happy to go shopaholic by name lol
love shopping

So she would be an age 6 roundways as well then! :rotfl:
Might be a little bit short though. Would having legs shrunk be cheaper in the long run than paying for alterations? LOL

I can see me having the same trouble with my neice, she'll be 8 in September but tall and very skinny!

My DD has lovely legs... and a little pot belly... lol, but is only nearly 4...

Find out this weekend if the BM dress fits SIL!

I hope it fits but if it doesn't I hope it's too big.

Mine are going to be lace up back which I hope will pull them in a bit. May (have to) go for tea length on the smaller 2 big one will be ok as she is only 5'4" tall and is wearing flat shoes as she doesn't want to totter about on high heels. I thought she would want sparkly high heeled sandals.

Am getting their shoes from M&S as some of the childrens shoes go up to size 5 so there's no VAT on them. Might get myself a pair for the evening when my feet start to hurt.

Wow, wish I had child size feet lol... Size 8.. Wide....

Lace up the back is a good idea, my dresses come with a kind of elasticated crocodile clip you can use to bring the waist in and it has some chiffon draped tastefully over the back to hide it.

My niece is a very funny shape though, just straight up and down lol. It will probably need nipping in from neck to hem... But I'm giving her 6 months to have a growth spurt...

Mine are only size 4 - great for trainers! DD complained that my last pair were too trendy :rotfl:

Did you get your BM dresses from eBay - they sound like some I saw and would have been extremely happy with but OH insists that all 3 girls wear the same dress.

How do you explain to a man the difficulties of finding something that a 19 year old will wear that won't look appalling on a 6 year old. Thank heaven for Jewlz!
