Looking for a girls Christmas party dress that actually gets noticed? This one does the job. It brings together a classic red tartan check with festive green details for an outfit that works just as well for Christmas Day as it does for a family photo by the tree.
At £24.99, it sits at a sweet spot for parents who want their daughter to look special without spending a fortune on an outfit she will outgrow within a year. It is exactly the kind of piece we love stocking here: pretty, well made and priced sensibly for a growing family.
If you are still weighing up styles, our guide to festive Christmas dresses for girls is a good place to compare options before you buy.
What Makes This Dress Special
Turn the dress around and you will find the real showstopper. A large, structured green bow sits at the back, made from a satin style fabric that holds its shape well. It is the kind of detail that gets noticed the moment your daughter walks into the room, and it photographs beautifully too.
From the front, a wide green waistband defines the waist, while soft green tulle peeks out from beneath the plaid skirt for a bit of extra volume. The skirt itself is full and gathered, so it swishes nicely when she moves, which small children tend to enjoy more than anyone.
Long sleeves with a flutter style ruffle around the shoulders keep the look warm for winter events, and a round neckline finishes it off neatly. At the back, a zip closure makes the dress simple to put on and take off, which matters when you are getting a toddler ready in a hurry.
A Classic Red and Green Christmas Colour Palette
Red and green are the colours most people picture when they think of Christmas, and this dress leans into that combination on purpose. The tartan check uses a rich red as its base, layered with fine lines of green, navy and gold running through the pattern, which gives it more depth than a plain block colour would.
The green used for the bow, waistband and tulle underskirt is a deep, traditional shade close to bottle or forest green. Paired with the red tartan, it creates a strong, balanced look rather than something too bright or costume-like. This makes the dress easy to photograph indoors under fairy lights, next to a Christmas tree, or outdoors in daylight.
Because tartan and plaid patterns are a Christmas wardrobe staple in the UK, this dress also works well alongside other plaid outfits for kids if you are dressing siblings or planning a coordinated family look for the day.

Size Guide
Children’s sizing varies by brand, so please measure your child and compare to the chart below rather than going by age alone. Measurements are in centimetres. Allow for a plus or minus 3cm range as these are guide measurements. Full guidance is also available on our girls’ size guide.
| Size label | Age | Dress length (cm) | Chest (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 6-12 months | 44 | 54 |
| 90 | 1-2 years | 50 | 57 |

Styling Tips
For cooler days or outdoor photos, layer a velvet bolero jacket over the top. It keeps the arms and shoulders warmer without covering the bow at the back.
Black shoes or Mary Janes work well with this colour combination, and a simple hair bow or headband finishes the look without competing with the dress itself.
If you like a coordinated look for Christmas morning, our tartan family pyjama set uses a similar colour palette for before everyone gets dressed.
For the extra-full skirt shown in our photos, a petticoat worn underneath makes the difference. It is not included and is entirely optional, since the dress looks lovely on its own too, but a hooped petticoat will give it that extra lift and volume.
Who Is This Dress For?
This dress was designed with parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles in mind, and works well for:
- Parents dressing their daughter for Christmas Day or a festive party
- Grandparents looking for a Christmas gift a little girl will actually want to wear
- Anyone planning a Christmas photoshoot, since the bow and tulle both photograph well
- Parents marking a baby’s first Christmas, alongside our other baby girl Christmas outfit ideas
- Families attending a winter wedding or christening where a smart, seasonal dress is needed
Care Instructions
Hand wash is recommended to keep the tartan fabric, tulle and bow looking their best. Do not bleach. Lay the dress flat or hang it to dry away from direct heat, and store it on a hanger between wears so the skirt keeps its shape. For more tips, see our guide on caring for kids Christmas dresses.
Because the bow and waistband use a satin style fabric, it is worth handling these parts a little more gently than the tartan skirt. Our guide on how to care for satin clothing has some useful pointers if you want to keep it looking sharp for more than one Christmas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does this dress come in?
The dress is available from 6-9 months up to 6-7 years. Please use the size chart above and measure your child rather than relying on age alone, since sizing can vary between styles.
What is the dress made from?
It is made from a blend of cotton, satin and polyester. This mix keeps the dress soft, adds a little structure to the skirt, and keeps the overall feel lightweight enough for a full day of wear.
Will my daughter be warm enough in this dress?
Yes. The long sleeves and cotton blend fabric are designed with winter events in mind. For very cold days outdoors, a bolero jacket layered on top works well without hiding the bow at the back.
How does the dress fasten?
There is a zip closure at the back, hidden underneath the bow. It makes the dress quick to put on and take off, which helps on a busy Christmas morning.
How do I wash the dress?
Hand wash is recommended, and the dress should not be bleached. This helps keep the tartan colour and the tulle underskirt looking good for longer.
Is this dress suitable for a Christmas photoshoot?
Yes. The tartan pattern, the oversized bow and the tulle underskirt all photograph well, indoors or outdoors. It is one of our most photogenic long sleeve Christmas dresses for girls.
What if I am unsure which size to order?
Compare your child’s height and chest measurement to the size chart above. If she falls between two sizes, we would suggest sizing up. You can also email us at contact@fbargainsgalore.co.uk and we will help you pick the right size.
Can this dress be worn for occasions other than Christmas Day?
Yes. Plenty of families use this dress beyond Christmas Day itself. It works well for festive parties throughout December, family gatherings, birthdays that fall near the holidays and New Year celebrations.
Do you deliver this dress outside the UK?
Yes. We ship internationally as well as across the UK. UK orders over £13 qualify for free delivery, and delivery generally takes 3 to 10 working days once dispatched.
Does the dress come with a petticoat?
No, a petticoat is not included. The extra-full look in our photos was achieved by wearing one underneath, and it is a simple, optional way to add more volume if you want that effect. The dress still looks great without one.
