What dress are you wearing for Christmas dinner?

[BangFlash]

I know there's are loads of threads on 'find me a dress for xyz' but I would love to hear what the ladies of S&B will be wearing for their Christmas dinner.

We walk to ours so for the last few years I've favoured trousers and a top and boots and wrap wool coat but I fancy a midi with long sleeves this year, and silk base layers because the hall is bloomin freezing . Just starting to look but id love to know what you've gone for.

Full styling details if you're willing; shoes, tights, jewellery, hairstyle?

Trying not to be smug, but sorry, I can't help it - I'm so happy and excited.....

Will be wearing a sundress, or shorts and T shirt. I will not be celebrating Christmas at anyone's house nor will I be in the UK. No dress code where I'm going! Bliss.

That does sound exciting, imagine sun in December!

I hope you really enjoy yourself!!

but I spent many Christmases in a sunny climate and for me it just felt SO wrong, no atmosphere, just another sunny day.

@BangFlash if I had the confidence, in a bikini! I'll be at my friends house and they have the windows closed and the heating on and I melt! In shorts & t-shirt. 🥵

I’m wearing a pair of silk velvet wide legged cropped trousers from Poetry and a cashmere sweater from Brora. Suede boots and pearl jewellery. Will be travelling by car so a short wool coat.

Me too @Havalona can’t wait. Bathing suit for the first part of the day’s proceedings and then maybe a sundress or shorts. It’ll be my first Christmas home for around 25 years.

@PassTheWineAndCrispsPlease

That looks lovely!! The sequins would drive me mad but it's really nice.

I have a velvet t-shirt dress from next that about 5 years ago. It's this one and it's much nicer in real life

That is a lovely colour. Very Christmas but not novelty!

Someone pointed to that jacket on another thread and I laughed when I first saw it (looks just like something dd had when she was 2) but actually it looks lovely. I think I'm to old for the bows but it's made me consider some sort of jacket to go with my still-to-find dress.

That sounds so luxurious.

I ordered that earlier tonight. Hope it’s nice on, I’m thinking of wearing it to my works night out with black trousers, gold heels and gold clutch bag.

@BangFlash you’re never too old for some sparkly and bows. I’m 48 and ordered it. Hopefully I like it on. I’m not really a dress person.

Love seeing all the nice bits you’ll be wearing!

We don’t dress up for Xmas dinner so I’ll be in my Skims pants, a plain tshirt and slippers! Can’t wait.

I’ll be cooking so I will do what I do most years, a comfy pair of trousers or decent jeans with a Christmas t shirt, then just as hubby / daughter carry the food through I nip to the bedroom run the brush over my hair touch up my lips and change into a nice top. I’m still comfy but fresh and a little more dressed up.

anyone wanted to have a quick 5 minute change, I bought a heated table top warmer, it’s a life saver and just gives me those few minutes

Ermmmm getting dress in our house is optional!

I don’t even look at the Christmas clothes.

It’s not even financial. It’s just never been any different.

Oh I love wearing a nice dress on Christmas Day, it's special! Not the beach for me though, did it once and was utterly miserable, it's just not right

Meant to add, we don’t dress up on Christmas Day, we spend it at home and my mum visits. I make an effort when we visit friends for drinks over the festive period but not on actual Christmas Day,

I’m in dresses all year so I’m the opposite 🤣 get so excited for my new comfy sets on Xmas.

I’m not wearing a dress but decided on this a month or so ago.

I love a swishy skirt.

I'm hoping for the dress that Dawn French is wearing in the M&S ad but of course it's sold out in my size (and the one down as I'm between two at times in M&S so I would take the risk). I've got it set up for email reminders but I'm checking constantly too. DD is off to Glasgow on Saturday so I might ask her to look for me there.

If not I have some black velour trousers (nicer than they sound I swear) and a satiny M&S blouse I treated myself to recently so I do have a nice back up plan at least.

This Massimo Dutti dress. Not with flip flops

My new Christmas pj's.
Will be at daughters.. we both will be in them and Grandson too.
Got be comfy.
Just us three.. playing board games.
Nice and quiet.. just how we like it.
All ASD.

I've always worn my gorgeous Oasis black with gold thread shift dress until a couple of years ago when it seemed to have <ahem> shrunk in my wardrobe. Last month I was having a charity shop peruse and there it was in the next size up! The volunteer told me when I went to pay that it had only come in that morning. It was meant to be.

People really know what they're going to wear for Xmas Day on November 7th?! My mind is officially blown! I haven't even started doing winter shopping yet because it's too bloody hot here!

Casual here - favourite wide leg indigo jeans and my sequinned Christmas jumper probably. With Uggs and duffle coat for a blustery beach walk, and obligatory deep red metallic nail polish.
