Dress for a 12-year-old girl

At 12, girls choose their outfits with growing confidence, and a dress becomes a way to express their tastes. For this time of transition, Tartine et Chocolat offers dresses for 12-year-old girls in velvet, tweed or wool, designed for the rhythm of secondary school as well as relaxed weekends. Find all the other sizes among our dresses for girls.

What dress should a 12-year-old girl wear to school?

At secondary school, a velvet or wool dress worn with tights and ankle boots is just as comfortable as trousers. Older girls who favour a simple look like uncomplicated cuts with a round neck or high collar, leaving the ruffles to younger girls. For chilly mornings, our coats for girls complete the look from the first lesson to the evening.

Dresses for 12-year-old girls: our ideas for celebrations and evenings out

For a birthday, an end-of-year show or a wedding, Tartine et Chocolat dresses in tulle or lace, or adorned with pearls, bring a festive touch. Ecru and powder pink pair beautifully with ballet flats, while navy goes with matching tights. And for a ceremony, our ceremony outfits for girls take centre stage.

What size should you choose for a 12-year-old?

Around age 12, many kids grow in spurts, and two friends of the same age rarely wear the same size. It’s better to go by your girl’s height than her age, using the size guide on the product page. For a girl who is already tall, our dresses for 14-year-old girls offer a little extra length.

Liberty, toile de Jouy-inspired prints, checks or stars: the selection’s patterns let every girl find her own style, from understated to bold. And when winter truly sets in, take inspiration from our cold-weather selection for girls.
