Easter, the first day of school, and Christmas are all examples of days in which a new outfit is required!  With Christmas only days away, it isn’t too late to run out amongst the last of the holiday shoppers and find a little something small for yourself!

And to get those shopping juices flowing, I have collected my most favorite holiday outfits from the past two centuries.

1800

The holiday trims on both these white dresses give wonderful contrast.

1810

Burgundy fabric with puffy white trim says dancing at Christmas like nothing else!

1820

I adore the gold gown with the black tassels.  What an easy and unique way to add details to sleeves.

1830

Add a lovely wool cape and you are all set to walk into town for afternoon tea.

1840

The shoulder details on both of these gowns add such elegance and femininity.

1850

Whether for holiday shopping or for writing Christmas cards, either of these outfits will do splendidly!

1860

Christmas Ball anyone?

That red swiss waist is stunning!

1870

Hosting a holiday party?  What a perfect hostess gown!

1880

A lovely blend of red and green.

1890

Velvet trim on a gown? I say, yes please!

Pretty spectacular!  Sleeves would be a little tricky to maneuver in, but who caress when you are wearing this ensemble!

1900

Two great examples of outdoor holiday wear for you and the kiddos!

1910

A trio of gowns in lovely shades of holiday green!

1920

A classy and ladylike way to wear a Santa outfit!

1930

Again, gold for a holiday gown is pure magic!

1940

Plaid is a perfect choice for an evening look.

1950

A cheery, cardinal red coat is perfect for those last minute trips before Christmas!

Happy Wardrobe Planning!
