Help! Can't find Christmas dress for dd

DD (10) is very tall for her age. I need a Christmas Dress for her. She would be about a size 18 girls. Where can I find one? I've looked at Jc Penney, Sears and anywhere else I could think of. She's too tall for a 16, but the juniors/misses dresses are way too grown up for my 10 yo kwim? JcPenny has the 18 1/2 but that's more of a plus size. She's not heavy, just tall so they swim on her. Any ideas? Thanks!

HOw about a top and skirt combo? You can find her a nice black skirt in the junior's dept. and then a dressy top in the kids' department? I have this same problem, but with SHOES! My 12 yr old wears a size 8-9 already in ladies and they're all too grown up for her..not that SHE thinks so! :)

I am sure you might have a second hand store around your house have you tried there. I picked one up for my daughter she had to have and I altered it for her style and taste. She loved it. good luck
