A ribbed knit and check Christmas dress with a bow detail and matching headband, sized 0 to 24 months.

• £16.99
• 0 to 24 months
• 2 piece set
• Free UK delivery over £13

A red ribbed knit bodice, with a soft scalloped edge at the neckline and layered frill detail cascading from the shoulders down toward the waist. A ribbed bow sits at the front, right where the bodice meets a red and black check skirt, a large-scale buffalo check rather than a multi-colour tartan. A matching check bow headband completes the set.

Like the rest of this range, the dress and bodysuit are built as one piece rather than two, with poppers at the bottom for easy changing.

Why Parents Choose This Set

The ribbed knit bodice gives this one a slightly different texture to the velvet and jersey dresses in this range, and the bold check reads well in photos from a distance, not just up close.

• Ribbed knit bodice with a scalloped neckline edge
• Layered frill detail across the shoulders
• Ribbed bow at the waist
• Red and black buffalo check skirt
• Built-in bodysuit with popper fastening for easy changing
• Matching check bow headband included

What’s Included

Two pieces in total, the dress and bodysuit come as one item rather than separate pieces, plus the headband.

Perfect For

This one leans into a specific moment more than most: a baby’s first Christmas, or the first one they’re old enough to really dress up for. It’s also a genuinely popular gift from grandparents, who tend to buy clothing for this exact age range since it gets outgrown so quickly.

• Christmas Day and Christmas Eve
• Family Christmas photos and photoshoots
• Baby’s first Christmas keepsake outfit
• Christmas parties and family gatherings
• A gift from grandparents or other relatives

A Keepsake for Baby’s First Christmas

For a lot of families, this isn’t just another outfit. A baby’s first Christmas tends to get photographed more than almost any other day that year, and outfits from it often get kept afterward rather than passed on. If you’re buying this as a gift, it’s worth choosing with those future photos in mind rather than the price alone, since that’s usually what ends up mattering most.

Buying Ahead as a Gift?

If you’re buying this months before Christmas for a baby who’s still very young, it’s worth sizing up rather than going by their current measurements. Babies can grow through two or three sizes in the run-up to December, and a size that fits comfortably now may be snug by the time it’s actually needed.

Fabric and Care

The set is made from a cotton, knit and polyester blend, soft against the skin with the ribbed bodice giving a bit more stretch than a woven fabric would. We recommend hand washing rather than machine washing, and please don’t use bleach. Our guide on how to care for kids’ dresses covers stain removal and keeping ribbed knit looking good wash after wash.

Sizing Guide

Sizes run from 0 to 6 months up to 18 to 24 months, across four sizes. Since babies grow at such different rates, we’d recommend using the measurements below rather than age alone, and our baby size guide has more detail if you’re between sizes. Allow a margin of around 3cm either way, since all measurements are taken by hand.
