The youngster was so mortified she called mum Tamara Auty, 33, and asked her to pick her up early from Friday's party.

It was a privately arranged event and was not arranged by the school or held on school premises.

Tamara said: "I think it was an attack on her individuality, I work in mental health myself I just think it was really disgusting.

"When I was 11 I had no idea who I was, but Mischa has always known who she is and what she likes.

"I’d taken her shopping the day before and she was really excited trying it on.

"She was a bit nervous hoping nobody laughed at her.

"I just think that children should be allowed to express themselves - why should my daughter be made to feel bad about the way she likes to dress?

"Why try and knock a child down for that?"

Last Wednesday (4/8) Mischa, her mum and her brother Thomas, nine, went to H&M to help her pick out an outfit for her party.

Support worker Tamara added: "She did end up going into the boys' section and got a dickie bow as they suited her a bit more.

"She’d known if she was going to any function she’d be wearing a suit.

"She looked absolutely amazing and stylish."

All the family thought she looked great, and the little girl started to get excited for the party the next day, to celebrate her finishing primary school.

Her mum said: "I’d straightened her hair for her, she’d put a bit of mascara on, nails painted black and normally she doesn’t bother with makeup or do anything with her hair.

"She was a little bit nervous but felt really good, she really liked the suit.

"She had been knocked down recently confidence-wise so it was quite a big thing for her to wear the suit as she hates dresses, she's not a girly girl."

Mischa waited for her friends before going into the party as she didn't want to go in alone, and they all showered her with praise.

"All her mates were saying you look amazing, you look gorgeous," said mum-of-two Tamara.

"I asked her if she wanted me to stay and she said no you can go."
