Holiday Outfit Ideas: Festive Dresses & Cozy Sets for Every Size (XS–3X)
Cue the twinkle lights, friends, because the most wonderful time of the year is officially here! From holiday parties and Christmas card photos to candlelit Christmas Eve services and slow, snuggly Christmas mornings, this season is full of moments worth dressing up for.
We've gathered our favorite curated boutique finds for every single one of them, in sizes XS–3X, so you can feel festive, pretty, and totally you. Modest, never boring (and always merry)!
Twinning Is Winning: Mommy & Me Christmas Dresses
Is there anything sweeter than matching your little one at Christmas? We don't think so! Our Clara Eve plaid dresses are our holiday crush this year, with rich burgundy and soft ivory plaid that looks like it stepped right out of a Christmas card. Hello, frame-worthy family photo!
Dress it up with tights and ankle boots for a festive party, or keep it simple with flats for church and dinner at Grandma's. Either way, you two are going to steal the show.
Shop all our matching looks in the Mommy & Me collection, or find even more darling styles for your mini in Little Girls.
Merry & Bright Party Dresses
Office party? Friendsmas? Ugly-sweater-optional dinner with the neighbors? Say yes to all of it! Deep berry, wine, and maroon shades are basically made for December, and they're festive without feeling over the top.
Look for playful polka dots, pretty lace details, and flowy maxis that twirl just right. Our favorite trick? Choose a dress you can wear to the party and again to Christmas dinner. Double the merry, half the stress.

Soft, Sweet & Elegant for Christmas Eve
There's something so magical about Christmas Eve, and your outfit should feel just as special. For candlelight services and cozy family evenings, we're swooning over soft creams, blush pinks, and a little touch of shine.
Think smocked maxis that feel as comfy as they look, blush satin that practically glows, and lace that adds the perfect romantic touch. Add your favorite pearls and you're ready to go!
Find your dreamy maxi in Women's Maxi Dresses (S–XL) or Plus Size Maxi Dresses.
Picture-Perfect Neutrals for Family Photos
Coordinating the whole crew for photos can feel like a lot, but we promise it doesn't have to be! Pick one warm, neutral color story (think mocha, camel, ivory, and brown) and let everyone pull from it. Easy, cohesive, and oh-so-pretty.
Our favorite photo tip: Let one person (hi, Mom!) wear the boldest pattern, then keep everyone else in solids or small prints from the same palette. Polka dots, stripes, and sweet tiered silhouettes all photograph beautifully.
Shop picture-perfect styles in Midi Dresses (S–XL) and Plus Size Midi Dresses.
Cozy Sets for Christmas Morning (and the Cutest Gifts)
Matching sets are the ultimate Christmas morning outfit. Picture it: cocoa in hand, wrapping paper everywhere, and you looking adorable in a soft gingham or striped set. They also make the sweetest gift for your sister, mom, or bestie (or yourself, we won't tell)!
Sets are a limited, little-luxury find, so snag your favorite early. Browse cozy picks in our Holiday Collection.
