Christmas Dresses for Girls & Toddlers: How to Pick the One (2026)

The quickest way to choose a Christmas dress: start with where she will wear it, then check which sizes are in stock, then pick a fabric she will be comfortable in for a long day of photos, dinner and present opening. Below are the holiday dresses we have in the shop right now, from red tulle tutus to long-sleeve tulle and red velvet, with every size and fabric detail taken from the product pages.

Step 1: Start with the occasion

Holiday photos and parties: a red tutu or red velvet

Red photographs well against a tree, a fireplace or snow, and a full tulle skirt gives every twirl a little drama.

• Petite Hailey Holiday Bow Tutu in Red ($84): a sweet bow and a full, twirl-ready tulle skirt. Sizes 2 to 10 years.
• Petite Hailey Kiera Star Tutu in Red ($73): star details that catch the light as she moves, on a full tulle skirt. Sizes 2 to 10 years.
• Petite Hailey Quincy Bow Tutu in Red ($73): a bow detail on a full red tulle skirt. Sizes 2 to 10 years.
• Konges Sløjd Christmas Dress in Red Dahlia ($82): plush red velvet with soft white trim at the collar, waist and hem, and a gathered skirt. Sizes 18–24 months to 9–10 years.

The three Petite Hailey tutus come from the same holiday drop, so they work well for siblings or cousins who want to match without being identical. See all Petite Hailey dresses.

Dressed-up dinners and church: volume, sleeves and sparkle

• Konges Sløjd Ally Long Sleeve Flower Dress in Veiled Rose ($155): voluminous tulle with flower appliqués, long puff sleeves, a low scoop back with a large bow, and a soft cotton lining.
• Konges Sløjd Tullie Dress GRS in Coeur Glitter ($122): shimmering glitter tulle, puff sleeves and a ruched, sheer-detailed bodice. The skirt is lined in 100% cotton and the main fabric is GRS-certified recycled polyester.
• Konges Sløjd Yvonne Puff Dress in Bacio ($140): a voluminous tulle dress with short puff sleeves. 100% polyester with a 100% cotton lining.
• Konges Sløjd Joelle Dress ($140): layered tulle with floral appliqués, short puff sleeves and a mother-of-pearl button at the back. Sizes 3Y to 7–8Y.
• Konges Sløjd Sheena Dress in Navy Blazer ($102): a shiny sleeveless dress with a balloon skirt, a low back and a large bow. 100% polyester with a 100% cotton lining. A good pick if she would rather not wear red.

More styles are in our Konges Sløjd dresses collection.

A long day at home: softer bodices you can layer

• Huxbaby Strawberry Embroidered Long Sleeve Tulle Dress in Strawberry Crème ($69.95): an embroidered strawberry on the bodice and a tulle skirt dotted with strawberries. The bodice and lining are 95% cotton, 5% elastane jersey; the skirt is 100% polyester tulle.
• Huxbaby Glitter Bow Tutu Tulle Dress in Vintage Pink ($69.95): a soft jersey bodice (95% cotton, 5% elastane) and a full tulle skirt scattered with glitter bows. Short sleeves, so add a cardigan for cooler days.
• DOLLY by Le Petit Tom Potpourri Tulle Ballerina Dress in Dolly Pink ($96): tulle embellished with 3D potpourri flowers, a pleated upper body and a cotton stretch back panel. Offered in size Small (4–6Y).

On both Huxbaby dresses the skirt is lined with the cotton-elastane jersey, so the tulle does not sit directly against the skin. Shop all Huxbaby.

Step 2: Get the size right

Each brand labels sizes a little differently. Here is what each product page says:

• Konges Sløjd sizes are labeled by age. The Christmas Dress page notes that Konges Sløjd recommends sizing down if your child is between sizes. For measurements, see our Konges Sløjd size guide.
• Petite Hailey: order your child's usual size. These tutus come in sizes 2 to 10 years.
• Huxbaby sizes follow age (a size 4 fits roughly a 4-year-old). The product pages suggest sizing up if your child is between sizes.
• DOLLY by Le Petit Tom: the product page says DOLLY items fit true to size. This dress is offered in size Small (4–6Y).

We carry each style in limited quantities. The size selector on each product page shows what is in stock right now. If you would like help choosing, email us at support@littlewildkid.store.

Step 3: Check the fabric

Most party dresses pair a polyester tulle skirt with a cotton lining. If she is sensitive to scratchy fabric, look for a lined skirt or a soft bodice. Both Huxbaby dresses have a cotton-elastane jersey bodice and lining, and the Konges Sløjd Ally, Tullie, Yvonne and Sheena list a cotton lining on their product pages. Follow the care label on each garment.
