Glitter Christmas dresses in lurex knit, mini and midi

Which color for which Christmas plan

Christmas green first. We make it as a rich green midi, a deeper emerald midi and an emerald wrap mini, and gold earrings look right with the emerald pair. Emerald keeps the sparkle restrained. That’s a plus at a company party.

Dinner at home with the family? Powder pink is the quiet one. Its glow is low enough for a table where bright silver or gold might shout, and the long sleeve makes the dress warmer than it looks. Our beige midi does a similar job with a hem at mid-calf. We’d wear it with brown heels and a camel coat.

For a night out there’s black shot through with silver, a royal blue you can still see in a dim restaurant, and purple. The gray midi with a slit softens the shine, so it suits a concert.

Wrap, round neck or bare shoulders in lurex

After a big holiday meal, a wrap is forgiving. Its belt sets the waist where you want it and the crossover front goes easy on the stomach. You’ll find wraps in blue, emerald, powder pink and black.

Our purple round-neck mini fits close, so it’s a seamless-underwear dress. The black midi goes the other way and drops off both shoulders, with draping through the body and a slit for one leg. Pin your hair up for that one. Because lurex lies close, bust and hips are the two numbers to measure. Every glitter xmas dress here is sewn in XS to XL, and S is about a US 4.

Turning the sparkle down for Christmas lunch

Lurex shows in daylight too. Is that too much for a lunch with relatives? Not if you dress it down. We’d throw an oversized black blazer over the black wrap mini and add chunky boots, and suddenly the shine looks relaxed. The emerald wrap takes a blazer and plain shoes the same way.

Jewelry can stay small. The fabric’s already doing the work.

Frequently asked questions

Sheer, matte or shiny tights?

Matte, in nude or black. A shiny pair fights with the metallic thread.

Is lurex warm enough for December?

It’s a knit with long sleeves, so indoors you’ll be comfortable. For the walk there, a straight coat keeps the line of the dress.

How do I wash it after the party?

In cool water inside a laundry bag, and no bleach. It dries flat in the shade.
