Oh and let me add the other problem the few things I do like are over $100 which I am NOT willing to spend. We don't even leave the house for Christmas, the family comes here.

Sophiasstyle is not expensive, and some stuff on bestdressedchild isn't bad.

I seriously want to know who spends that much for a dress for a child? Please someone admit to it so I can understand how these companies even stay in business.

Do you try to sell it after or just save it for something else?
I mean some of them are gorgeous and I would love to buy one but I think how many shoes or other outfits I could get for that or what a disaster she might make of it if I let her wear it all day.

Honestly, no. I don't use it for anything else. I will also say that I don't purposely go and look for expensive dresses. If I happen to fall inlove with a dress that is 200 bucks, I buy it. I mean, I usually DON'T fall inlove with the 200 dollar dress, but I did for her birthday, and I bought it. I mean, why not? If I couldn't afford it, that'd be another story. Last year, her Christmas dress cost me 25 bucks on sale. This year, it just happens to be that all the dresses I like are much more money.

I agree, I usually just buy Julia's holiday dresses at the Gap, I won't spend a lot because she won't wear it again, plus we are buying a house, so I'm not going crazy this year.

Re: My daughter will be naked for Christmas

I have been searching high and low for a holiday & or 1st Birthday dress.
Same problem..either its too froo froo or its short sleeves,which bothers me because I'm not spending X amount of $$ to just cover up the dress with a sweater.
Anyway, I went to Nordstom,Bloomies,Macy's,mondo di bambi, you name it! I had no luck.

But I did see most of these dresses yesterday at Century 21 for a fraction of the price.

t



I need 18m.
I did see one at Target that was OK if I had nothing else.
I do like that red one you posted from Talbots.
I do LOVE christmas plaid though. It's my favorite so if anyone wants to search for a dress under $50 in that feel free.
I also do not like smocked dresses anti all.
