My daughter loves this style of dress, and I can’t decide whether to get it for her or steer her in another direction. She’s 10 (very nearly 11) and starting to develop—breast buds, training bras.
https://www.hadasminilove.com/collections/בנות/products/סרפן-צמר-beige-8?variant=39475361284178
My husband saw a picture of her trying it on and says it looks like a costume. Is he just not used to the style? Is it because she’s too big/old for it? Can’t say I totally love it on her myself, but I thought it was pretty good as far as jumper style dresses go and she really wants one…
Please, help me make this decision and feel comfortable with it! (So that I can send her out feeling confident as well—I don’t want to get it for her and then make her feel self conscious.)
TIA!

It’s fine. You’re overthinking it.

I don’t know how to make the link work. It’s called סרפן צמר (in the rosy pink color they’re calling purple).

I would totally wear this. I'm 23 and bxxbs size 32DD 
Adorable for a 10-year-old, even if she is developing. But not if she's very chubby...

You need to copy the whole line, not click on the link. (The website doesn't think that hebrew letters can be part of a URL)

It's fine it's in style now. He doesn't understand girl's clothing. At this age it's more important that your daughter feel happy in her clothing than that your husband understand the style.

Thanks! She’s not chubby at all, but not super slight either. She’s on the taller/bigger side for her class, but no one would call her chubby, just sort of average build I think. If it helps, most of her clothes in these frum Israeli brands are size 16.

Thanks yes this is exactly what I’m trying to figure out! And I want to build her confidence and for her to feel happy in her clothing, but I’m afraid of doing the opposite if I have doubts myself. I thought it was pretty cute in the store but then when my husband reacted the way he did, I got all confused. (She does not know what he said but just that I’m thinking about the dress. We did got a few other things that I’m sure about.)

She is very into the frum styles and goes to school in that kind of chareidi place… yeah, I’m honestly confused! Wouldn’t be my first choice for her but I do like to let her pick in general. I feel like it’s healthy for her to have the experience of picking for herself.

It's a very cute dress.
I would buy it for my 11 yr old dd I can imagine it looking great on her, she often wears that style. On the other hand my older dd could never pull off such a dress when she was 11. So it's hard to say, it really depends how it looks on her. I wouldn't even say it depends if she's chubby or not, it's really about body type and how she carries her clothes. I've seen chubby girls and skinny girls and all girls in between wearing such styles.

If your husband doesn't like it, I personally wouldn't get it. We don't know what your daughter looks like in the dress, but he has a negative opinion about it.

I think it’s a bit too juvenile for that age , nothing to do with whether she is or isn’t developing. They make these styles so you can have all your girls matching but that ends up with your older girls wearing styles that are meant for toddlers or vice versa.

Thanks everyone!
Sigh.
Yes, I do think it looks like an adorable toddler dress… she pulls it off okay but it’s not quite right,.. but she loves it… ahhh wish this was less complicated. I don’t want her growing up feeling bad that I never got her what she really loved, either.
