Top 10 Plus Size Christmas Holiday Dresses – The Final List
With Thanksgiving only a couple of days away and Christmas a little over a month away, I though it was time to reveal our final list of plus size dresses we recommend full figured women look at, as options to wear during the holiday season.
If you follow the Plus Size Clothing Scoop, you will remember that in around mid October I released our preview list, which included the top 5 plus size Christmas holiday dresses I had our eye on. This was only the preview list, as it was a little too early to conclude things; I was sure our favorite plus size clothing stores still had more in store for us. And I was right! Our favorite stores brought out their holiday dresses and fashions. In fact the final list has been extended to list 10 plus size dresses which are perfect for the holidays! Some dresses have changed positions, some have stayed where they were, and others have been pushed out of the list by better options. Without further ado, I shall leave you to look at our chosen dresses.
1. Fiorella Lace Gown with Shrug in Red from IGIGI
Our true winner from IGIGI still holds the top spot! This gorgeous gown remains our top favourite dress to wear during the special Christmas holiday season. Colored perfectly in red, the lace make it look chic and warm at the same time. Beautiful stretch lace has an iridescent effect due to a contrasting lining. Details include a skirt that is flared from the knee due to a number of the sheer chiffon godets; empire waist is trimmed with a velvet panel. This gown is shipped with a velvet shrug; saving you the added hassle of finding matching shawls and shrugs. This dress is currently available in sizes 14 to 32.
2. Marie Lace Dress with Matching Shrug in Black/Turquioise from IGIGI
A new entry in out list, again from the plus size dress specialists IGIGI, this dress will spice up any evening! We love it and think it should be included in our top dresses for Christmas list because the beautiful lace gives, coupled with the original color give it a very Christmasy look.

Again IGIGI are taking care of us by including a matching lace shrug with this dress. Just add a flower to your hair and you are ready to dance the night away!

5. Dangerous Beauty Gown in Cobalt from IGIGI
Another beautiful gown from IGIGI which had already been included in our preview list, only this time it has dropped a couple of positions. I still had to include it in the final list as I love this dress, as I said previously, because of its simple sophisticated glamour. This gown evoked the essence of a seductive courtesan of the 17th century French court. Bare shoulders are adorned with the rows of dazzling rhinestone bands in a bra-friendly style, while provocatively plunging neckline showcases hand-made crystal ornament. The rhinestone detail gives this gown that extra special touch and make is stand out from other gowns in its category. Sizes currently available are 14 to 32.

Thanks for sharing this, unfortunately it seems none of the links above work. I was looking for something that I could take along for the German Christmas markets I hope to go to this year.
Thanks for sharing the great list.
