My daughter has her 8th grade graduation in June and is looking for a cute, simple, white tube dress to wear. We have burned up over a 1/4 tank looking all over at every single store over the last 3 days!
For several reasons I do not drive on the highway, so I am hoping and praying someone here will know of a good site to go to for Junior Fashions. please...i am so desperate!

Thanks so much!
If you can help me she will forever be indebted to me!

I don't know her size, but how about ordering from Target.com
You have plenty of time to order online. That way she is bound to find something she really likes.

Hope she finds just the right one!

I would avoid white dress shopping online, too likely to get one that is see through (many experiences with this). Is she set on a white dress? there are so many great colors out there.
Then again, when I was a teenager and I got my mind set on something, there was no changing it!
I don't envy you at all, lol. Good luck finding the right dress, just make sure to read reviews whenever possible, usually someone will post that it was semi-see through, or totally see through, or not see through at all.

she's a fashion nutcase, and she wants an all white one so she car pair it with some one of a kind accessories & shoes. we've looked at some of the links, i have to run but we'll look at more in a bit. thanks so much everybody! feel free to keep em coming!

Do you sew, by any chance, or know anyone who does? After looking at the tube dress on the Dillards site, I remembered that JoAnn's and Hancock Fabrics has the stretch smock top dress material! It is so inexpensive, and all you need is to measure your daughter's chest and buy the yardage! It would take one seam from top to bottom and you have a dress!

I feel your pain. It's been decades, but I still remember how very important every detail of that 8th grade graduation dress was.

This one is just adorable, and she could wear a little bolero of another color with it......Trixxi Cotton Poplin Gathered Tier Dress (Juniors) | Nordstrom

I love this site there always adding something new

megansmomma · 04-07-2011, 08:03 PM

Oh how I feel your pain. I wish you all the luck in the world finding that perfect dress for 8th grade graduation. Have you tried Macy's or ArdenB?

ArdenB can be hit or miss but my daughter has bought a few dresses from there for HS dances.

I vote for this one too! Looks substantial enough -- would not be see-thru. Some of the sites have reviews that mention they are too see-thru (like the one from Amazon) and some look more like a beach cover-up. This tier-dress option is beautiful, dressy enough, and you can easily change the look with accessories.

Here are some more options but I still like the one Yorkiedaze posted best.
Simple but classy -- French Connection Caramel Cotton Tube Dress Frenchie Pink - Zappos.com Free Shipping BOTH Ways

This one is cute too: WHITE STRAPLESS TUBE ZIG ZAG FITTED MINI DRESS @ Amiclubwear sexy dresses,sexy dress,prom dress,summer dress,spring dress,prom gowns,teens dresses,sexy party wear,women's cocktail dresses,ball dresses,sun dresses,trendy dresses,sweater dresses,teen c and hard ot beat the price! Not sure about see-thru-ability factor, though.

Topshop White Tube Dress, Black Beaded Necklace // "You can't save a damsel if she loves her distress." by Ira Benedito // LOOKBOOK.nu Love this style! Could not find it for sale though. Says it is from topshop but not on their site now. One of myson's friends wore a similar dress last summer & I thought it was adorable.

Princess10 · 04-08-2011, 06:23 AM

Thanks so much everyone! She checked all of the links, as of late last night, and she loved so many of them. The problem? None of them came in a size small! So she kept searching and searching & finally found one on Mandee.com i believe. It's cute & basic, hopefully it fits right!
Thanks again, and I'll try to post an update pic if you guys would like.

FlDebra · 04-08-2011, 06:24 AM

Oops -- checked the links to make sure they worked and the one reverted to a home page or something. But here are 2 from the Americlubwear site:
WHITE LACE SIDES SWEETHEART RUCHED CLUBWEAR TUBE MINI DRESS @ Amiclubwear sexy dresses,sexy dress,prom dress,summer dress,spring dress,prom gowns,teens dresses,sexy party wear,women's cocktail dresses,ball dresses,sun dresses,trendy dresses,sweater d
WHITE STRAPLESS PLEATED DETAIL MINI DRESS @ Amiclubwear sexy dresses,sexy dress,prom dress,summer dress,spring dress,prom gowns,teens dresses,sexy party wear,women's cocktail dresses,ball dresses,sun dresses,trendy dresses,sweater dresses,teen clothi

There are some pretty racy things on the site so don't get worried I was referring just anything there to your 8th grader! Whoa!

After I posted, I read you found the dress. Glad she fond one she likes. All white like this, she will be able to change the look completely with accessories and maybe you will get her to wear it more than once!
