Watching with interest!

I'm contemplating my Hush ruched skirt at the moment it has plenty of room for expansion

I'm wearing this. It's fitted but loose enough to enable me to cook easily and eat my bodyweight in turkey and roast spuds Grin

I'm wearing this from Next with navy tights and cardi. It's nicer on than it looks in the photo (why is that so often the case?)

I got this one from whitestuff with the black friday discount that I'm going to wear christmas day - it's very flattering and forgiving.

It's not on Whitestuff website anymore, but they have this sparkly navy number which when I saw in the shop is similar in style, but a thinner, stretchier (and sparkly) fabric.

Gosh, you guys are organised! I don't know what I'm wearing to a Xmas night out on Saturday, never mind Xmas Day!
All lovely choices - think that long velvet dress will look lovely and Christmasey Stepaway - such a good price.

aefondcrisp I was eyeing up that exact dress the other day! I wasn't sure - would you recommend it? Is it stretchy?

missyB1 - I love that dress - very festive.

StepAway - that is very glamorous! We are with my lovely PILs this Christmas and it's all a bit more 'jeans and jumpers', I'm going to be slightly overdressed as it is, I just grew up with being dressed up on Christmas day and I'm not giving that up without a fight... Grin

itstheyearzero I have last seasons version of that and love it! It shrunk after a few washes though so I now have to wear it over leggings as I hate stuff too high up the thigh.

I may need this year's version in my life.

I've ordered this pale grey slouchy number, if it's looks nice I'll hopefully wear with thick tights and ankle boots, or leggings and slipper boots, depending how smart or casual I feel like being on the day!

Hope that link works. Yes it's quite stretchy and has pocket on the skirt. It's extremely comfortable. I found the 12 fitted but a little clingy in places I may not want so sized up and have gone for a more relaxed fit. I really love it.

I have this one in Navy. I have a grey one in the same style from a couple of years back and it's flattering and very comfortable so I could resist a sparkly version.
