I have just been told my daughter (14) is going to her Cotillion in 2 weeks. Feb. 4 to be exact.
She never dresses up and is very much a Gap/J.Crew kind of girl. She needs something that she can wear a regular bra under, she will never deal with strapless!
Her coloring is medium brown hair, and she still has a tan from the summer. She is 5'4 and weighs about 120 and is a bit "top" heavy".
It can't be too frou-frou cause she's not a girly-girl, just more tailored and subdued. It also has to be a B&M store so I can just go get it and take it to a seamstress if I need to.
I have been on my shopping ban so I have stayed out of this thread and out of stores and now I have to shop ASAP!
Oh, if it's sleeveless any suggestions on a wrap/pashima?
I'd like to keep it under $250 and she wears my shoe size so shoes should not be a problem.
Where I'm from, cotillion is a very big deal. And I believe long dresses are necessary. Do you have a Nordstroms? Here are a couple that seemed cute (although it's really hard to find something that's not strapless)
Does it not need to be white? We always do formal/semi formal white dresses for Cotillian. I do love the FCUK dress, but it is pretty girly. One of my friends has it. It is super cute though. I like the Nordstrom's dresses that detroit picked out.

that's it really...honestly, there's not much out there that i would want to wear to a high school dance type thing, even if it's fancier like a cotillion (i don't really know what this is, but im assuming that there will be other 14 year olds there). i like all of the dresses that detroit posted, any of those are cute. but yeah...i like the pink one the best.
try to be patient when you head out with her...i know i was a little witch when i would try and go dress shopping with my mom!
