Black Lace for Christmas
Shopping for our Christmas cocktail dresses we couldn’t help but notice that Black Lace is a huge trend this holiday season. Here’s a few of our favourites:
| For pear shapes:
This beautiful neckline broadens the shoulders and balances the hips making your bottom look more in proportion with your bust. (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Tiger Lace:
If you want to look a little more chic than pretty..Love this simple sexy look. The lace is actually underneath the sheer netting that is draped to look like tiger stripes. (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Elegant:
She almost looks like a ballerina! This is very ladylike and alluring with the lace just at banded waist. Don’t try this look if you are shortwaisted or you will be all band!(Nordstrom) |
 |
| Romantic:
Very pretty but make sure this isn’t too short on you or it will look like you are wearing a nightie. (Nordstrom) |
 |
| Pink and Black Lace:
A flirty hinit of pink underneath this easy to wear sheath is great if you wory that all too much black lace will wash you out.(Nordstrom) |
 |
| To accentuate your waist: The scalloped edging is a gorgeous detail, and we like that the band and bow are not overpowering. (Nordstrom) |

Oh I love the first and the 5th dress especially. If only I had reason to wear then I might purchase.
These dresses are very pretty. But where are the sleeves??? It is winter here and I cant help but think this article and pictures are just for those in warmer climates. Why? What are we cold weather girls supposed to do? Plus, even if I was living in Fla year round, I would like some sleeves to cover the unattractive parts of my upper arms. And I have a feeling I am not alone in this.
Hi Lisa,
These dresses can be worn all year, but you just have to have a good coat and shawl to add. However, you do have a good point about keeping the arms a little more covered and we will try to find more dresses with more fabirc…. we do understand that many women have issues with their arms.
Thanks for writing in and keeping us on our toes!!
I WAS BROWSING THE WEB FOR A CHRISTMAS DRESS SUITABLE FOR AN OVER 40 YEAR OLD AND CAME ACROSS YOUR GREAT SITE. I HAVE TRIED TO FIND, BUT WITH NO SUCCESS, THE DRESS YO HAVE HIGHLIGHTED FIRST ABOVE – LACE DRESS FOR PEAR SHAPE. DO YOU KNOW IF THIS DRESS IS STILL AVAILABLE FROM NORDSTROM? THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.
Hi S. Hamilton,
So sorry, these dresses were all from last year. However if you go onto the Nordroms website you will find lots of styles from this years collections.
Good luck!
