Gingerbread Lace Dress Set

A deep V-neck Christmas dress with a gingerbread print skirt and matching headband, sized 0 to 18 months.

• £16.99
• 0 to 18 months
• 2 piece set
• Free UK delivery over £13

A red sleeveless bodice cuts into a deep V both at the front and the back, trimmed with a lace ruffle along each armhole rather than a full sleeve. Below it, a green skirt is printed all over with gingerbread people, gingerbread houses, bells, candy canes, stars, stockings and snowflakes, a busier print than most of this range. An elasticated waistband keeps the fit comfortable, and the matching headband carries the same festive print.

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 double V-neck, front and back, gives this one a slightly more grown-up shape than the round necklines used elsewhere in this range, worth knowing if you want something a little different for photos.

• Deep V-neck cut at both the front and back
• Lace ruffle trim along the armholes
• Green skirt printed with gingerbread people, houses, bells, candy canes, stars, stockings and snowflakes
• Elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit
• Built-in bodysuit with popper fastening for easy changing
• Matching festive print 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 and polyester blend, soft and lightweight enough for a baby to move freely in. 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 the lace trim looking its best.

Sizing Guide

Sizes run from 0 to 3 months up to 12 to 18 months, across five 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.
