Shy teen and the jr bridesmaid dress...help!

Shy teen and the jr bridesmaid dress...help! 1
So my fiancé’s 13 year old picked out this dress. I was against it because she is always covering herself up, and while she looks gorgeous in it... I thought she’d be too shy to wear something that revealing in back. Fiancé didn’t agree, and she loved it so we bought it. Forward a few months and now she thinks the back is too revealing and wants to wear a thick back sports bra and/or a body suit! It will really look ridiculous. So do I let her look silly or do I try to discuss wearing something different under it? Her self esteem is so fragile and I don’t want her to feel bad so my inclination is to let her wear it however she wants. She doesn’t even really need a bra😂 it’s so silly that she’s adamant about one- but I just want her to feel confident and happy at the wedding.

    Instead of a bra, can the seamstress doing alterations add an opaque back that isn’t revealing?

    I agree I would take it to a seamstress to help figure out a different way to cover it a bit rather than wear a sports bra or whatever underneath. That will look ridiculous, even if she thinks it fine. Guaranteed she will look back and be mad that anyone "let" her wear something like that!

    I agree with the others above, ask a seamstress if they can sew some fabric to make it look cohesive. If not, you could always pick out a very thin coverup or shawl!

    Or just let her pick a new dress. Azazie has tons of JrBM options in a very similar color to that picture that are a little more covered up and generally ship pretty quickly.

    My Jr. Bridesmaid is definitely very modest and found a great dress on Azazie... I agree with the idea of letting her pick another one if alterations would be cost prohibitive. I think I paid 79 for the jr. bridesmaid dress. It's not cheap by any means, but it might be better to offer a dress that is more modest to her than going ahead with a bodysuit that she probably wouldn't like the look of anyway.
