1. Julia Jordan Sequin Long-Sleeve Shift Dress

A sequin mini is pretty much the holiday look to beat, but we love that this particular version has a more sophisticated high neckline and delicate ruffles at the cuffs.

Buy it ($129)

^{Available in sizes 10 to 16}

2. True Violet Skater Midi Dress

This stunning green number looks gorgeous on it’s own, or you can use it as a base on which to display all your sparkliest accessories. Oh, and did we mention it has a rather sexy open back?

Buy it ($135)

^{Available in sizes 14 to 22}

Swap the satin belt for one in a contrasting color or even a crystal-embellished number for some extra waist definition.

A deep V neckline and intricate draping giving this incredibly comfortable midi a beautifully sexy silhouette.

Buy it ($138)

^{Available in sizes 0 to 16}

Florals absolutely can work for winter fêtes—just opt for darker hues or bold reds to avoid looking out of season.

Buy it ($86; $52)

^{Available in sizes 10 to 30}

9. Julia Jordan Halter-Neck Jumpsuit

For the gal who prefers pants, why not shake things up with a comfy jumpsuit instead of your go-to pantsuit? All you need are some dangly earrings and a red lip and you’re all good to go.

Wear it wrapped and belted as a dress or drape this beauty over a sexy black slip dress for a layered look that’s just as fun.

Buy it ($190)

^{Available in sizes 12 to 26}

15. Fraiche by J Flutter Faux-Wrap Midi Dress

The red hue and luxe-looking fabric make this dress feel totally appropriate for a holiday get-together, but you can also wear it throughout the year for cocktails with friends or dinners out on the town with your S.O.

Buy it ($106)

^{Available in sizes S to L}

16. Vince Camuto Side Ruched Cocktail Dress

The ruching in the bodice helps create the illusion of a waist, even if you’re straight as a board, while simultaneously hiding lumps you may not wish to have on display.

Buy it ($138)

^{Available in sizes 0 to 14}

17. J.Crew Belted Ruffle Dress in Black Stewart Tartan

After sequins, tartan plaid is pretty much the number one Christmas-ready fabric. We love the ruffles along the sleeves and the shoulders, and while the matching belt does look adorable, we bet this frock would look just as nice (and better accommodate a food baby) without it.

Buy it ($178)

^{Available in sizes XXS to XXL}

Buy it ($498)

^{Available in sizes 0 to 14}

21. Eloquii Long Sequin Wrap Dress with Feather Cuffs

It doesn’t get much more glamorous than this, folks. In fact, this maxi pretty much demands you drink from a martini glass all night, even if you’re just sipping ginger ale.

Buy it ($190)

^{Available in sizes 14 to 28}

22. Sea Metallic Floral Halter Tunic Dress

The muted gold and dark blue metallics of this frock help it to feel festive but not over the top, meaning you can totally get away with wearing it to multiple other occasions throughout the year.

^{Available in sizes 14 to 28}

30. ModCloth Winter-Blooming Roses Dress
