Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
bat mitzvahs are generally formal. however, you should ask the girl who is having the bat mitzvah. during the ceremony, you wear "church" clothes, and then that night at the party you wear either formal/semiformal, depending on the party. so i would ask if i were you. the dress you are talking about sounds fine, but ask your friends what they are wearing just in case. yes, you normally give the person a gift card. it's sort of like a birthday gift. so since it's a bat mitzvah, maybe you should give something from bath and body works? i think that would be nice. yes, you should do your hair nice and probably wear makeup. most of your friends probably will. the best thing to do is ask your friends what they are wearing, what gift they are giving, how they are doing their hair, etc. because then you will get a clearer idea of how to dress/act. when i went to a bat mitzvah a few years ago, we wore churchy clothes to the ceremony that morning, and then that night it was semiformal "cocktail" attire. it was a lot of fun! most people gave gift cards. be sure to have fun!

its probably formal.most bat mitzvahs are.
that dress you wore to the dance sounds fine.. just make sure you have something to cover your shoulders..[[in some temples its liike disrespectful to have you shoulders showing]]
so just have like a tiny cute jacket or something that matches your dress.
usually you give the person money..so if you do make it a multiple of 18.
yeah you should do something cute with your hair like curl it or something and you should wear make up since there is probly a party after the service and its a special occasion.
i hope you have funn!

They are usually sort of dress-upy. A dress will be fine, and even a skirt if you dont want to use a dress.
For present, they usually get a card and plain old money.
I would say do your hair and makeup, because then you will look more presentable.
good luck<3

My guess is formal. Did the invitation not say?
You can give the person anything, but if you get money or a gift card, give it in a multiple of 18. The number 18 in Hebrew means life. (Chayim)
Yes, you should.
