Christmas Day dress

[Iatemyskinnyperson]

Just ordered it! here is is... I am in love! Will put long sleeve T under for warmth.

Do you all dress up for Christmas day?

its rather amphibian
yes we all wear glittery knitwear

at glittery knitwear. Yep - circa 1987.

pfffft. Amphibian my arse.

I like that dress, though it would look hideous on me.

Nope, we don't dress up at all - unless we get a new jumper, in which case it must be worn. No glitter though. :)

Ohhhhhh.....just had another look......it IS rather amphibian....

have we put you off, OP?!

I quite fancy a bit of glitter - but sadly am too fat from new baby to even consider it!

Yes!
My family dress for christmas.
We are usually quite, um, casual, so it's great fun.

First year I went to inlaws for christmas I arrived in a long red dress and they were all wearing jeans and new jumpers! I looked a twat playing on the Wii in a frickin' frock.

I like your dress, OP. I would wear it with a red T for extra christmasness.

No you have not! Just cos its green? I can't see anything else frog-like about it. Green is a perfectly good colour.

Clique-y cows. Flounce

Is it green? It looked grey on my computer. I only like it if it's grey!

That was to curlyhairedassasin... QueeforS,thanks!

That thing in the middle of it is quite phallic isn't it?

Its nice though, v.festive and dressy but not too posh.

We try up but then I feel like a twat all dressed up and with slippers on.

I have just treated myself to this:www.harrods.com/product/issa/ruch-waist-dress/000000000002290928?cat1=b-issa&cat2=b-issa-all
With £100 off from Hardods plus and extra 10% so not too bad (GIFT100)
Just need to check on the shoe situation but am hoping it'll do for a meal out, Christmas day and DS's Christening.

*Harrods even, can you tell I'm excited not used to treating myself

That is gorgeous - very sexy!

We always get dressed up even tho tis usually just DH me and DCs.

Not liking the dress from the op to be honest.

mama, how did you get £100 off am super jealous!

I received an email offering 10% off when I registered "Plus, receive a generous £100 off when you spend £250* by entering GIFT100 at checkout."
I guess it would work for everyone, I think I've saved £135 in total.
Dh is very impressed, I just hope it looks nice over my lumpy post baby body, but there's always spanx.

I think their should be a disclaimer on s&b for newbies along the lines of the one at the top of AIBU i.e Note: Please bear in mind that whilst this topic does canvass opinions, it is not a fight club.

Issa - how very trendy of you mama - apparently Waitey Katie's fave designer!

Totally love the colour, I wore a dress from Monsoon in a similar colour to a friends Indian wedding and wore it with muted red pashmina, red high heeled peep toes and big red dangling earrings, even DH made positive comments - I usually wear monotone everything!

I'd be lying if I said I didn't know that
None of my family would have a clue though they'll probably think it's George at Asda.

I've just managed to find the last red one and it's in my size!
With all the deductions it's a bargain but......can you really cook an Xmas dinner in silk?

Sorry OP to completely ignore the thread title, i'm not keen.

I looked at the red and wondered if I could squeeze into it but yes it is almost a normal priced outfit at that price, plus I think it might be able to be ebay'd at a later date.
As for cooking and indeed eating, I wouldn't, I ruined a £100 Coast dress one year so there's no way I'll even be holding my son in it never mind a gravy covered sprout !

mama it is super lovely! I am tempted myself! (Do you think it will hide my 12 week mummybelly?)

A preggy belly is to be proud of and yes i think it would skim nicely over it.
Now a big old roll of chocolate nobs belly is a different matter.
Actually I'm more worried about the BF boobs but I will be stopping this week so hopefully normal service will resumed by Christmas.
