She should wear clothes that are trendy but not revealing at all. No boobs and no belly button. She can wear low hip pants as long as her top meets the bottoms. No belly shirts.
Why don't you offer to take a group of them? Arrange with another parent to do the pickup on. At their age, being in a group allows her to be near a boy she likes without being under pressure to be alone with him.

I remember dances in Jr. high. usually they are not formal. She'll probably feel more comfortable in just jeans and a cute top. If she doesn't have a "date" it's prbably better, since there is so much drama with her age. things change in the blink of an eye, because she is just getting to the point where she is emotionally ready to crush on a few different guys, and this is normal. She will have her "heart" broken one week, and be completly in love with a new guy the next. and dances can be hard too, so many things change....there will always be heartache at dances, and a few girls will run to the bathroom to cry. I think it's better that she just go dressed as she would for school (minus the backpack). whatever she thinks is cute and hip. I also think that she should go and have a good time with her friends, not a date, just another gathering of the gang to hang. She'll grow into her more "formal" dances with prom dresses and dates, corsages and such with high school...now is the time to have some fun! If it's ok with you, go to walmart and buy one of those cheap holiday makeup kits, and show her how to use it right, so she don't make the "clown" mistake some girls new to makeup do. My mom allowed me to wear makeup when I "blossomed into a woman" which happened for me in the 7th grade, but makeup is purely up to you and dad. Just slip her a little green ($) and a kiss on the cheek, and a "have fun honey!" and enjoy the night with your (husband?????) or by yourself if at all possible. watch your favorite movie (again)
But do NOT be waiting up for her, she needs to feel now as though you trust her and respect her better judgement. If you have a tv in your room, put another movie on in there and let it play a bit, so she doesn't think you've been in the family room completly paraniod waiting for her to get home. then when it's about time, sneak off to your room, and look comfortable, enjoying the film. If she wants to talk to you about it, cool, but let her come to you with the details. just ask if she had fun (the next day) don't be offended if she's secretive, she's trying to become more of her own person, and will want to keep some things private. If it's important, she'll share. Just re-assure her that she can always come to you with anything, and you love her regardless of anything. she'll remember, may be scaired, but she will come to you when she needs you. hope this helps, I had a very good, open relationship with my mom, and that is my basis for my answer.

ok i'm a pro haha, i started goin to dances in 5th grade and i just graduated, and i remember them well. she should wear a skirt, Not Too Short!!! as she is only in 7th grade haha. but above the knees. unless this is like a formal homecomming dance, then a dress is required. ok and then wear a nice top , no sleaves, V necks look nice. then nice open toed shoes. and thats a wrap. make sure she does something nice with her hair also. either straighten it, put it up, or make it curly. it would be nice if she had a date to go with, but again she is in 7th grade and it is not required because half of the people there don't have a date and thats half the fun in middle school. Good Luck!
ok i was just reading some of what other people wrote and i decided to edit my advice some. These people don't know what they are talking about, they are all old and don't remember how it was. 7th grade is NOT to young to go with a date. its not like she's gonna make this guy her boyfriend n have sex with him that night. wat the hell are these people thinking? she is almost in highschool and tho she might be a little young to date, going to a dance with somone is not bad at alllll. let her have fun, and its nice of you to ask what she should wear so she doens't get emarased considering this is probably her first dance.

Well, Since its a dance then she should just wear a cute shirt and some jeans. 7th grade dances arent formal or anything so yeah.
Its better off if she goes with a group of friends so she doesnt get upset when the boy abandons her to go hang out with someon else.
And these dances arent that big, so you shouldnt make such a big deal out of them.

Well first she should check if it is a formal dance.
if yes: A lot of people will probably have dates, although not nessecary, and she should wear something a little elegant. Maybe a skirt with a nice shirt, or a cute dress.
if no: Then she should just go with her friends. She should wear something very comfortable to dance in. Maybe just jeans and a tshirt, or a skirt and cute top if thats what she will feel comfortable in.
Just have her see what her girl-friends are doing and maybe they could get ready together and go as a little gang. That way if it turns out to be different than what she expected, she'll stll have her friends to hang with and won't be out of place.

Well Rio Madeira is all wet ,,,, First off it's proper that the guy do the asking instead of the girl chasing him down to be so bold or forward as to ask first,,,, I don't know where Rio comes from but the boy asking the girl is proper etiquette ,,,, As for what she should wear ,,,,, It probably should be something simple but attractive but not that revealing ,,,, 12 year olds shouldn't have being a sex pot on their minds although some do ,,,, Dress her simple but attractively and turn her loose ,,,, Things should be ok ,,,,, Tell her to have fun for me ok ?

it really depends...what kind of dance is it? just like a holiday dance? what about her female friends? are they going, and do they have boys to go with? she certainy does not have to go with a boy at that age, and if she has a group of friends to go with, they could all have a great time. IF she has a boy in mind, then she may ask but prepare her for what will happen if he gets nervous and says no....just prepare her...no harm in going stag...
what she should wear...a skirt and a nice top/sweater (depending on weather where you live)...the sweater should be somewhat dressy, you know, beaded/sequined but still 'teen'ish and the skirt doesnt have to be too long, right above the knee is fine.
the best thing is to take her shopping and help her decide! or get her to ask her friends...
good luck, I hope she enjoys it!

Talk to you school/teacher or some other parents is your best bet. 7th grade is just about starting to understand these types of social situations and the last thing you want is to do something that the other kids aren't doing.
Probably: A nice dress
Probably not ask a boy to go.

How about a chastity belt? Your 7th grader is too young to be asking a boy to a dance, unless you're in a hurry to be a grandma.
As for the outfit, she should have some idea of the dress code. If not, you can call the front office of her school for some ideas.

She should wear what she's most comfortable in, so long as it's weather appropriate. Kids will sometimes wear summer clothes in the winter as all us parents know.
As far as asking a boy to go, does she want to ask one? If so then sure why not, it's a school dance not a car date.
