Our favorite dressy dresses for Christmas
I still need a dressy dress for my 3.5 year old daughter for Christmas eve, so I started diving through our archives looking for ideas. Of course there's always the mall stores that we all know and love (or accept somewhat begrudgingly at times).

But if you're looking for something a little more special, here are a few of my fav-or-ite shops.
Tea Collection has a little black Bucharest Floral Dress (above) that I've had my eye on all season, and it just went on sale 40% off. Score!

You'll find lots of trendy boutique brands all in one place at Artebebe - including the gorgeous Saurette sweater dress featured in our holiday gift guide this year.

The Japanese fabric dresses from Noko baby still make me drool whenever I see them. Classic styling, but very contemporary. (at right)

I'm always coveting something at Velvet + Tweed, a label from the co-founder of Janie + Jack, and they have cute options for little boys, too.

Ses Petites Mains is no stranger to these pages--check out their Tiny Chic Occasion dresses along with other inspired handmade pieces and you'll see why. -Liz

For more ideas for holiday clothes for the kids, search our archives under baby clothes, kids clothing, and cool clothes for boys. Yes, they exist!
