Holiday Dress Roundup + Gifts Under $50

Each year I take a dozen or so holiday dresses into the Nordstrom dressing room and try them in hopes of saving you time and stress as you order pieces for upcoming festivities!

Keep in mind that my selection of what I could try on is somewhat limited by what was in stock in my local store, but all of these dresses are gorgeous, flattering and available to order online. Many of these dresses are currently 40% off!! 

For more of my top holiday dress picks of the season, be sure to visit this post and this post from last week, both dedicated to holiday dressing!

This French Connection Cutout Sheath Dress with cutouts is anything but basic. It’s currently 40% off!

This berry-red French Connection dress is also currently 40% off and just $100. It’s longer cut makes it a great option for all you taller/long-legged gals and a flattering cut.

Leopard sparkles?! Yes, please! This affordable Topshop dress is SO fun for New Year’s Eve or any fancy holiday affair!

I love the neckline of this Laundry by Shelli Segal dress! This dress is comfortable, classic and appropriate for any age! It’s also currently 40% off.

This under-$100 Felicity & Coco Metallic Shift Dress can be worn for a day-event with tights and black over the knee boots or dressed up with a heeled pump. 

It’s difficult to see the lace detail of this flattering BB Dakota Fit & Flare Dress in this pic, but it is so pretty in person! This dress is under-$100 and comes in 12 colors. It’s perfect to dress up or down.

This Ted Baker Skater Dress was my favorite dress I tried on. The fit could not be more perfect! It also comes in a wine color. This dress is a bit of an investment, but I think it is worth every penny since it’s such a classic piece that won’t go out of style!

I found this gorgeous {and affordable!} Topshop animal print coat while I was in the store, and had to try it on! It’s such a perfect piece to layer over any of these dresses, and all around a fun coat to have in your wardrobe.

This BB Dakota sequined body con dress is another fun option for New Year’s Eve. It’s stretchy and comfortable!

Last but not least, a red dress is always fun, classic and festive! I love this Double Layered Embellished Version by Ted Baker. Such a unique shape, flattering and guaranteed to turn heads!

Most of these dresses fit true to size. I wear a size one in Alice & Olivia and typically size up to a US 4/6 in Topshop dresses, for reference. Feel free to email me lauren@editbylauren.com or leave a comment on this post with any questions about sizing or styling these dresses.
