Dress for 10 year old

[Jenkarz6]

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a crochet dress for my 10 year old daughter but everything I have found is either too young or too old for her and of course my daughter is not a girly girl either. The dress has to be light because it will be worn to my graduation and to an outdoor birthday party and it is usually very hot for those days.
Thank you very much everyone

How about this one for a small fee:

For free there's these. They are for a size 4 (I believe) but you can adjust them:

This goes up to 8, again you can adjust:

This one is in the size range. Personally I might make it a tad longer though:

You can always make a crochet top with a fabric skirt like this. I've made lots of them:

have you looked at www.crochetgarden.com?

There are some frilly ones there but also a few that are more of a sundress without a lot of frills too. And there is also a cardigan and hat that is nice for cooler weathers. :)

There is a cute skirt pattern on www.christinascrochethaven.com
It is called "Sunshine Skirt".You could make a halter or another top to go with it.
