Off out somewhere nice on Christmas Day? Â Spending it with your partner’s family? Â Or maybe you have everyone coming to yours… Â Either way don’t be caught out on this festive day by waking up Christmas morning with nothing to wear. Â Girl Meets Dress isn’t all about fancy cocktail parties and weddings. Â We fully advocate our ladies wearing their frocks around the house! Â Here we suggest some glam day dresses to celebrate the big day in style… (Please note all suggested dresses come with expandable waists so you don’t miss out on your third helping of Christmas dinner)…
So Cheryl wore it to get her hair ‘did’ but we think Marc by Marc Jacob‘s Panther dress is a sure choice for Christmas day. Â A loose shift dress with side slit pockets makes it the perfect choice for cosying up at Christmas. Â Concerned about getting chilly? Â Team it with an on-trend black polo neck underneath and high-heeled ankle boots a la Chezza.
For an ultra festive choice, look no further than Stella McCartney‘s Silk Bow Dress. Â In a bold Christmas red, with pretty neck-tie bow, this 100% silk number gives you the comfort of an over-sized jumper in disguise of a fabulous and festive dress. Â With front pockets and structured sleeves its a fun and easy choice.
For a beautifully girly dress then why not opt for our See by Chloe Shirt Blouse Dress.  Accented with ivory stars, gold buttons and self-tie sash.  Its front pockets and pleats would work perfectly with black ballerina shoes and tights to compliment its cool Parisian vibe.
Finally we love Marc by Marc Jacob‘s Gold Knitted Dress for a cool laid back wintry feel.  Casual-chic, this knitted sweater dress works perfectly with leggings or tights underneath.  Team with boots or heels depending on where the day takes you.
