Older Girls' Dresses
Older girls' dresses at MINOTI are made for ages 8 to 15, and the range sits in four groups. Jersey dresses are soft and stretchy, easy for weekends and non-uniform days. Tiered dresses have a skirt built from layered panels that moves as she walks. Denim dresses are the sturdier choice and sit well over a long-sleeved top in cooler months. Party dresses cover birthdays, discos and family occasions.
Dresses for teenage girls need to fit a body that changes quickly, so go by height rather than age. Measure her standing against a wall without shoes and choose the next size up if she falls between two. As a guide, a 13-year-old usually takes 164 cm and a 14-year-old 170 cm. Jersey is the easiest to size because it stretches. Denim has less give, so allow a little room across the shoulders.

Your questions answered
MINOTI older girls' dresses come in jersey, tiered, denim and party styles for ages 8 to 15, with girls' dresses for age 11 usually in 152 cm and girls' dresses for age 12 in 158 cm.
What size should I choose in girls' dresses for age 10?
Most 10-year-olds take 146 cm. If she is tall for her age or between sizes, go up to 152 cm so the dress still fits in six months. Measure her height without shoes and compare it with the size on the product page.
What should a girl of 9 wear under a dress in cold weather?
Thick tights of 40 to 60 denier and a long-sleeved top under a jersey or denim dress keep her warm on most winter school days. Below about 8°C, add a cardigan and a coat on top.
