1920s Christmas Dress

A 1920s Christmas dress should feel festive without looking like a costume, and this dark emerald one manages it. The cut is sleeveless and straight with a round scoop neckline, an art deco leaf motif in gold-tone and black sequins and beads runs over the bodice and the dropped waist, and layered fringe falls to around the knee.

Why a Dark Emerald Flapper Dress Works in December

Deep green sits naturally beside pine garlands, candlelight and a dressed table, so it looks seasonal in every photo without spelling out the holiday. The gold-tone sequins catch the tree lights and the fringe moves when you cross the room to greet guests. We like it for the office holiday party or a Christmas Eve dinner.

Keeping Warm in a Sleeveless Holiday Dress

On a cold night we add a faux fur stole or a velvet wrap for the walk from the car, then take it off once the party starts. Sheer black tights and closed-toe heels keep the line neat. The feather headband, necklace, bracelets, gloves and fan on our model are styling only and do not come with the dress. More shades and silhouettes sit in our 1920s dresses.

Green Christmas Dress FAQ

Which jewelry suits the green?

Gold-tone pieces pick up the sequin motif and warm it up for Christmas. A red lip finishes the holiday look.

How should I pick my size?

The straight, roomy cut is forgiving at the waist and hips. The size chart gives flat measurements, so double them: the chest runs from 33.1 in (84 cm) around in S to 44.9 in (114 cm) in XXXL, and the length is 40.6 to 41.3 in (103 to 105 cm).

Can I wear it for a New Year's Eve party too?

Yes. Swap the faux fur for long black gloves and a sequined clutch.
