Christmas dress? Is this nice or horrible?

[Pinklightatnight]

I have an idea to get a dress for Christmas Day, something warm/long sleeved that can be worn with thick tights. Not sequins/sparkles, more of a wholesome/Toast-esque look.

Have a low-ish budget and just saw this on Tu - can’t decide if it’s nice or really not...?

Any other ideas very welcome

I actually really like that

I like it too. It inspired me to look at the Tu website, so thanks 😁

I really like it and looks like it’ll fit your brief!

I really like it too

Also like it - smart too

You’re not doing the cooking then?!

I would be roasting () in a corduroy dress. I also think it looks a bit bulky.

Oh nice that people like it. I thought it might be labelled as frumpy

I am not doing the cooking, and tend to feel the cold, so heat’s not an issue. I did wonder about bulkiness...

It would feel a bit drab for me for Christmas to be honest! It just feels a bit plain and dull, but I’m one that will probably be dressing up on Christmas and wearing something sparkly which is exactly what you said you don’t want!

It's lovely, not that christmassy tho.

Oh that's lovely! I wish i left the house more these days to justify buying it!

Ok, here’s another one but please be honest, would I look like Mrs Claus (not necessarily a bad thing )?

I love it! I'm not one for sparkles on Christmas day either. There is also a nice dark red shirt dress on tu that I am considering for Christmas day. Its out of stock in my size though so hopefully I can get hold of it soon.

Ooh I love that dark red Tu one too @MynephewR! Maybe more than the other one. Sold out in my size too, and says it comes up small... not sure whether to risk next size up.

it's cute

Lovely, similar to Hush and with better material...and price!

Personally I much prefer the second option - the first looks like something I would wear to work and a bit boring for Christmas Day!

Neither of the links (first pattern very drab, second sack like), but the red one at Tu is lovely. I saw it in store and am gutted I didn't buy it when they had stock.

I like the black one, the red is too weird of a shape.

Was the red one this on tuclothing.sainsburys.co.uk/p/Dark-Red-Needle-Cord-Tonal-Check-Shirt-Dress/137560818-DarkRed?searchTerm=:newArrivals:colour:Red&searchProduct=?
I like it and the one in the OP.

I really like the one in the OP.

That dark red Sainsburys dress is much nicer. Don’t like the ASOS one at all.

I would call the brown one 'meh' but then I'm a fan of big and gaudy so I'm not sure you need my opinion!

The asos one looks less Mrs Claus's dress and more Mrs Claus's nightie to me

The first one is nice though, I'd go for that.

@MikeUniformMike yes that's the one!

Lol at Mrs Claus's nightie... I think much as I like that one I would look like a bright red tent a little swamped in it

@Pinklightatnight thank you for sharing this dress - I’ve just ordered it for work...the thick cord will be perfect for my cold classroom! Not my Christmas Day dress but I’m very happy with it!!
