She is a young and fresh young woman. I think jewelry should be on the dainty side. I'd go more fore earrings that aren't too grown up, but perhaps dangle a bit. Heavy jewelry for such a fresh young thing is out of place for her. She has her youth and freshness and should celebrate it. Maybe do a nice updo, but not too stiff. I like the idea of silver shoes.
I'm kind of surprised to read all the opinions that she's too young for dangly earrings. I mean, she's a teenager, not a toddler. Sure, I don't think she needs to be wearing the big heavy earrings that tug on the lobes from the sheer weight of them. But there are plenty of chandelier styles that are practically weightless.
Is there some other reason other than weight that people object to a teenager wearing anything dangly?
She's BARELY a teen-ager.
It's a tricky age when wearing dressier clothes, when she may be adult height but still growing in other ways. She doesn't want to look like a little girl playing dress-up in her mom's jewelry.
It depends: on her hairstyle, on whether she typically wears earrings, on her personal style, etc.
I agree with everyone else, definitely no necklace!
Hair in an up do or a half-up do would work best, and if she wants some bling, she can wear that in her hair, along with a bracelet. I think a small drop earring is the most elegant and age appropriate.
Hope she has a great time, it's a lovely dress and I'm sure she will look beautiful!
I love that dress. Very pretty! I think a rhinestone bracelet is a must.
Ditto on the bracelet idea. I agree with everyone else that the dress wouldn't work with a necklace. An updo hairstyle is probably best. Earrings shouldn't be longer than a slight dangle or they will look too old for her, IMO. I hope she has fun! Oh, and I'd pass on a purse, at least the clutch style. Clutch style purses are a PITA since you have to use your hand to carry them around, instead of a shoulder. They can quickly become a hassle or even worse, abandoned
She wants to wear her hair down and curled (long).
How to accessorize? Should she wear a necklace with this understated illusion neckline?
I am thinking she should wear a silver metallic shoe (low heel for dancing) but not a flat. She doesn't wear high heels, and I am not keen on an open toe because she will be dancing.
She likes my shoe idea, but I am wondering more about jewelry. Pearls?
Suggestions from you savvy people?
Thank you in advance!
Absolutely no necklace. Long, thin dangle earrings in silver, with or without bling, and a silver bracelet, not too chunky.

Earrings, bracelet and (hair styled up) perhaps a hair clip with some bling.

No necklace. Long bling earrings. Cuff bracelet
If her hair is long, I'd actually suggest a long, loose, messy braid.

You're either a teenager or you're not. There's no barely.
I just can't figure out what is particularly "grown up" about lightweight dangly earrings.
I have a feeling that some of the folks posting (not you specifically) don't realize that 13 year olds don't dress like little girls anymore. I'm not saying they should dress like they're heading to a nightclub. But dangly earrings aren't too mature for most 13 year olds.

You see NO difference between a 13-year-old and a 17-year-old?
Short sparkly drop or hoop earrings (hair up=No stud earrings)
Sparkly bracelets.
Flats.
No necklace.
This. Exactly.
