9 Easy Holiday Dresses That Look Gorgeous On Every Single Person
Might we interest you in being spared your annual 17 hours of miserably searching for an event dress?
by The Candidly Team
We admit, the idea of a holiday party gets us pretty excited. There’s just something about the swirly combination of candlelit tables, sparkly champagne glasses, tooth-picked olives, and syrupy vocals of any Rat Pack caroler.
And then…there’s the dress.
We’ve seen enough romantic holiday movies to believe that somewhere out there is a festive dress made just for us. But shopping for one in real life? In November? In the glaring lights of our computer screen or the stark dressing rooms of the mall? It’s hellish. No, it’s actual hell.
Because dresses are hard. Most of them are bulgy. Clingy. Bad on curves. They make us feel the precise opposite of how we picture ourselves feeling as we descend down the imaginary staircase of some twinkle-lit soirée.
And so, we wind up disappointed, suctioned into shapewear and hiding ourselves in a dumb pashmina all night because we just don’t feel good in our dress.
But we’re done with all that.
And here’s why.
This year, we started our search early. We took time. Did research. Compared notes. And carefully catalogued not 1, but 9 perfect dresses that look undeniably stunning on every shape of human.
Honestly, we think we cracked some sort of code here, because each of these dresses is uniquely special in how they fit, feel, and flatter our unfiltered bodies.
Enough preamble. There’s cheese platters to prepare. Here are the 9 best holiday dresses. Hands down. Bottoms up. Off we go.
