We ordered a bunch of dresses from Macy's. They were women's dresses, and size 4 is what fit her best. But you can also search by teen. You have to make sure they don't have big boob areas (some did) - my dd is still pretty small in that area. We also ordered some dresses from Anthroplogie. I'd scroll through with her and find some options to try. I don't have time to find the two my daughter kept (one for hers, one for others), but will if I can later.
I think the one she picked out seems totally fine and nice.
