To kind of want this dress

Like I KNOW it's awful, I know it's a costume for Mrs Christmas... But I still kind of love it. I think the kids would be delighted if I wore this Christmas day, too. Is it just too horrendous to consider?

Looks more like "Take me to bed on Christmas Eve" than "Let's sit down for a family Christmas Dinner" IMO
And I'm all for retro 🤷‍♀️

Looks cosy, although the very open chest would drive me nuts cos that'd be the only bit of me feeling cold!

You will look beautiful I am sure, the belle of xmas.

I have a Christmas Day dress, although it’s not “quite” as fabulous as this one! Mine is blue velvet with red sequin stars. It’s not unlike done thing you’d see a three year old wearing. It’s now a funny Christmas “thing”. Do it. Not sure what your dress size is but that dress would look amazing on someone with a curvy figure!

It arrived this morning and it's as beautiful as I hoped. The material doesn't feel cheap and I feel amazing in it (probably because it reminds me of my wedding dress). If you haven't ordered it, do!
Pic please!

I like it. I just don’t have the kind of crimbo I’d be comfy in that. I can’t imagine lugging the Turkey and roasties out the oven in it. 😂

I love it. Go for it

Would be great if you was going somewhere nice where someone else was doing the cooking and general hard work bit impractical otherwise.
Would also be great for a Christmas works party or if you have been invited for pre Christmas drinks anywhere.
I do like the style of the dress but it wouldn’t be something I would wear for Christmas ast home with the kids.

Brilliant that you got it! Enjoy!
