A perfect fit is key to perfect style! Read on to learn how to shop the best dress sizes for every age and let your little one shine.
Shopping for kids' dresses is so much fun, but when your daughter is between 11 years girl dress and 13 years old, getting the right size is a bit of a challenge. Between these ages, girls grow so fast, and their fashion sense begins to take shape. If you're not sure how to select the ideal size, don't worry — we've prepared an easy-to-use guide for you.
Comfort is key. A poorly fitting dress can influence the mood of a child during the day. Do not shop for dresses that fit tightly around the chest, shoulders, or waist. Choose styles with a bit of extra space to accommodate expanding bodies. Adjustable waistbands or belts can also help you to get your little ones a better fit.
Instead of completely depending on age-specific sizing, it's more accurate to take body measurements. Take the following:
Chest: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms.
Waist: Measure around the natural waistline.
Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the hips.
Shoulder Width: Measure from one shoulder to the other across the back.
Length: Measure from the shoulder down to the desired dress length.
Some brands have a loose fit, some have a tight fit. It's always a good idea to read reviews or look at the brand's size chart.
At Peppermint, our best-in-class designers create comfortable, age—specific dresses—perfect for growing girls who enjoy feeling fashionable but also being able to move freely. Here's a quick view of our size guide for 11 years girl dress to 13-year-old girls. For a more detailed chart, refer to our product page.

Certain fabrics (such as cotton) are loose and easy on the body, whereas others (such as polyester or netting) can feel tighter. Loose-cut styles such as A-line or empire-waist dresses tend to allow for more growing space, whereas body-conforming styles like bodycon or sheath dresses might need exact sizing.
11 to 13 years girl dress online shopping can get tricky. Select dresses with a bit of growing space, particularly if you're purchasing for a future event, a few months in the future.
Is this a dress for everyday wear, a family wedding, or a school event? For daily wear, a relaxed and breathable fit is ideal. For formal or celebratory events, a bit more fitted appearance will look gorgeous. Dear parents, always know that comfort for your little darling is key!
For birthday parties, opt for playful and fun designs such as skater dresses, floral prints, or tulle overlays. These are celebratory and comfortable. Always choose breathable fabrics and loose fits that allow her to move around freely and enjoy the day without any constraints.
For school events, smart shirt dresses or A-line dresses in cotton or knit material would be the perfect choice. Use structured but minimalist styles—soft colours, soft prints, and collared necklines are perfect and super comfortable.
For weddings and special occasions, flared netted dresses with sequins or lace embroidery make one of the perfect choices. Go for pastels, soft metallic shades, or even vibrant colours like orange or navy blue. Belts, tiny bows, or tiered tulle over the back of the dress add to the beauty of the outfit.
