Every year it’s the same challenge—you want something great to wear to holiday parties that’s flattering, cheery, affordable, and maybe just a little bit fabulous. But you don’t have time to hunt when there are gifts to buy, rooms to tidy, and trees to decorate. Besides, you never find anything quite right at the stores anyway. It’s like searching for a unicorn!

No worries. We’ve got the solution, and you’re going to love it: It’s a stretchy, swingy, flattering, luxe-looking velvet dress by Urban CoCo that complements nearly every body type. And the cost? Hold on to your hat. It’s just $45, on Amazon.

This is the piece you dream about while trying on clothes (that are not quite right) at a department store. You know, when you’re looking in the mirror and muttering to yourself, If only the neckline wasn’t so low...If only the skirt weren’t so short...If only the sleeves were tapered. Check, check, and check. Someone at Urban CoCo has been listening and created a dress that’s both spectacular and realistic—and that makes women look awesome and feel confident.

The neckline shows off the collarbones (not cleavage), and the high waist, with gentle gathers in front, lengthens the leg-line. This dress is fun to wear too—it moves gracefully as you walk, allowing you to make a spectacular entrance. The long sleeves cover potential problem areas (upper arms can be tricky) while creating a sleek profile.

Shoppers of all shapes rave about the Urban CoCo Long-Sleeve Velvet Stretchy Dress, celebrating how flattering and forgiving it is. And agreeing that it’s just the thing when you want to feel gorgeous without wearing something tight or revealing. With more than 1,000 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, the super-wearable piece is a crowd pleaser.

“This dress is as beautiful as it looks in the picture,” says one happy shopper. “I ordered the wine red and it is so elegant. It’s fully lined and has plenty of stretch so it’s comfortable. And the fabric is nice, not cheap-looking at all.” The stretch velvet material is soft and durable without being too warm, reviewers report. And if you’re traveling for the holidays? It doesn’t wrinkle, so it’s perfectly packable.

Another shopper concurs:“This dress was more than I had hoped for! Not only affordable, the fabric is perfect, with weight to the skirt, and the color is gorgeous. I received SO many compliments when I wore it.... Fancy but not too fancy, I felt amazing....”

Over and over, reviewers gush over this piece—which is versatile, and about much more than just holiday festivities: It’s poised to become your go-to for all cool-weather dressy occasions. Sizes range from S to XXL, and reviewers advise sizing up.

“Please do not hesitate to buy this dress!!!!!” said one five-star shopper who called the dress a no-regret purchase. “I received it today and will wear it to my inlaws 50th anniversary party. I tried it on and let me tell you, I felt instantly elegant and beautiful!!!!! It is a breathtaking dress. It creates an AMAZING, flattering silhouette (makes me look like I have no belly bump!) and is modest (shows no cleavage); flows/moves gracefully...”

The toughest part? Choosing among the beautiful color options. Available in a rainbow of exquisite jewel tones—green, purple, blue, red, and teal (plus basic black)—there’s a shade to flatter anyone. This is a classic piece you’ll wear for years and years.

“If you’re looking for the perfect holiday dress, you just found it,” said a reviewer. “Picture me with hearts in my eyes when I tried this on.” ’Nuff said.
