I'll let you know closer to the date, if that's okay. The one my Minion has now may work...but at the rate she's growing there's just as good a chance that it will not. If it doesn't, it'd fit your daughter beautifully! She'd probably be able to wear it for two years, as it's a size five. Let's talk in October or so.
