Christmas Day outfits

[FusionChefGeoff]

I've been half heartedly looking for the perfect Xmas day dress all year and recently upped the ante but still no luck. Want a patterned mostly red (but not fire engine red - more rusty / claret) with pockets and that doesn't look like I'm wearing a sack! Above the knee as I've got wide hips but good legs and anything longer makes me look enormous.

I might give up and so am looking for inspiration. I'm at home cooking for 9 so something easy to wear / comfy and will have my slippers on!!

@Ninkanink I love the jigsaw dress, unfortunately I am not the right shape!

I'm wearing the hush long sleeve Kensington dress in red and black. So comfortable!

Will be wearing bathers/swimmers....and lots and lots of sunscreen... southern hemi so will be roasting (sadly not potatoes). Wish to dress up lovely but just end up a sweaty mess. Some lovely outfits posted (jealous...)

I'm wearing leather leggings and this

I'm wearing this top with black skinny jeans...

@ineedto I've been looking at that on and off for a while and just gone to bite the bullet and it's out of stock

@ineedto thank you, it’s a gorgeous dress! And actually very forgiving (which is why I love it), so might be worth a try!

Try hush first thing in the morning - they often have things back in stock from returns

ineedto - I have the red Kensington dress - lovely isn't it?

Not sure what I'm going to wear.....we always dress up a little, but it's only DCs and DPs on Christmas Day, so I won't go mad. Possibly a pleated skirt and a thin black jumper. I thought about coated skinny jeans and a naice top, but there's nowhere to put the roasties.

Ooo thanks westr great tip!!

I did this and got a sparkly jumper from hush which had been completely sold out!

I'll be in my PJs allll dayyy

Hmmm gawd, after reading these I'd better make a bit of an effort at Noel.

I've got this to wear, I'm shorter than the model so it's just above knee length on me

I agree with you all, I love a hush Kensington and now have four .

The red has sold out several times but keep trying as they have been restocking. Also try John Lewis.

I think I’m going to wear a pair of grey leather-like jeans, a grey jumper and mustard yellow boots with gold and stones on the heel.
We don’t really dress up for Christmas,

After getting some good encouragement from MNetters re midi skirts, I'm wearing this dress with a woven waist belt and some gold slides. It's going to be 30 degrees Celsius where we are and very muggy. Sadly this is not a picture of me

I bought this dress . It’s very soft and comfortable. I will mostly be directing operations from the couch as am deep into chemotherapy so I wanted something gentle on my skin but not pjs as I still want to dress up a bit ( we all try to dress up for lunch )

Fatface is your friend! They do gorgeous dresses in lovely red wine colour you will be able to wear all year round!!

And sorry OP.. your whole thread didnt load before I commented..then saw your post about your fatface order!! I so want that wrap dress!!!

@Trumpton you will look lovely directing events. Merry Christmas 🎄

I'm wearing a claret velour dress with sparkly ribbed neckline.

I ummed and ahhed about wearing a dress but couldn't find any I really loved.

So I'm wearing a bottle green satin blouse with a high neck and long loose sleeves with tailored cuffs and silver buttons, tucked into black skinny jeans with black suede block heeled boots. If I spot a pretty belt between now and then I might pick one up.

Will jazz it up with a pretty long line necklace (charcoal grey crystals on a silver chain) and matching earrings.

The blouse is a very loose romantic looking thing and the jeans are super stretchy so perfect for after a massive dinner.

I never get an excuse to wear satin, I have a young child and a very casual uniform for work.

I'm going to wear a long sleeve t-shirt under the blouse though otherwise I'll be freezing.

That dress is lovely @trumpton

Thank you @BloomedAgain
