Christmas Party - Dresses to celebrate

Whilst many women choose a simple black dress for the christmas party, why not ring the changes and wear something striking in red.

Choosing a sumptuous fabric, such as velvet, will not only have you looking sexy but will fall around your body flattering your curves.

This pretty red cocktail dress bring a hint of the festive season with it with its vibrant red hue.

Unless specified on your invitation, formal evening gowns are infrequently worn unless for a special occasion.

Velvet is always seen as a luxury fabric - and is ideal for keeping warm whilst looking stunning this holiday season.  It's ideal for special occasions as you can look fabulous without needing to wear vibrant colours or styles.

Strapless but stylish - this outfit will certainly get you noticed when you walk into the room !

Add simple but elegant jewellery - team with pretty sandals that make the most of your legs and be ready for a great night of partying.

Family Christmas - what to wear

For a family it's been a tradition for mothers and daughters to wear similar or matching dresses or complete outfits.  You'll find a range of matching dresses for mother, daughter and dolly at http://www.dollyandme.com/mother-daughter.asp

For boys, wear something smart but comfortable that can be worn on other occasions - smart trousers and a well-ironed shirt. 
If you have less conservative views, wear what's comfortable yet stylish.

Holiday Weddings - dresses and outfits to suit

If you're looking for ideas as to what to wear for a Christmas wedding or reception - remember that you're trying not to outshine the bride, so bright colours are probably not the best ones to choose. 

Instead, choose dresses in deep burgundy, deep greens to reflect the season without stealing the limelight or an outfit with a simple print, such as this simple yet elegant cocktail dress.
