Over the years I have learned the importance of wearing something comfortable for Christmas Day.
I generally buy a new dress to wear for Christmas Day, and this year has been no different as I’ve invested in a kaftan that’s bright and breezy.
In years past I have worn a strapless dress, jumpsuit and short jumpsuit/romper. All of which I had to keep adjusting while celebrating Christmas. The year I wore a romper, I changed out of it by 10am because the shorts were too short and I couldn’t handle the amount of leg I was showing as I bent down to help my girls open their presents.
My tips on choosing a casual dress for Christmas day is buying a dress that will skim and flow over your tummy and hips. Kaftans work especially well for Christmas Day.
As much as I love a jumpsuit, I can’t stand having to completely undress while going to the toilet. But it is a great alternative to the dress if you don’t mind the bathroom situation.
I suggest you choose a dress that is comfortable and doesn’t require straps to be adjusted.
Knee length dresses (or maxis) are perfect for being able to get on the floor with the kids to help them unwrap gifts.
I’ve collated some gorgeous casual Christmas dresses to camouflage a full tummy. A dress that gathers under at the empire line and has a print will hide any extra bulges created from the day.
If you are still needing to buy a new dress to wear for Christmas Day, ensure you do it soon as it was hard to curate a selection of dresses with all the sizes still available. It seems most women are already on the hunt for that perfect dress for this season.
