Festivities upon festivities, the holidays are like one never-ending party. Whether you’re hosting your own dinner, seeing friends, or reserving a table at the fanciest restaurant in town, I bet you’re eager to dress your best. But after spending a mint on family gifts, you’re left working with a tight fashion budget. It’s a good thing Amazon has a ton of gems where the look and quality far exceed the cost.

I know, Amazon isn’t the first marketplace that comes to mind when thinking of holiday dresses. It took me some time to sort through the noise, but eventually, I found a bunch of beautiful plus-size dresses that are rated highly, look cute, and are under $50. Whatever holiday occasion you have planned, there’s a dress to go with it on Amazon—just take a look below.

11 Best Plus Size Holiday Dresses

Shestarr Sleeveless Maxi Wrap Dress

Amazon

This wrap dress has a festive appeal, thanks to the frills around the seams and the slit along the leg. You can wear her dancing or simply to the company holiday party. To fight the chill, bare arms may need a blazer or robe-like coat.

Pinup Fashion A-Line Short Dress

Amazon

Amazon

Sure, you can get this flirty short number in any color, but this forest green just feels right for the holidays (so does the burgundy option). The long sleeves balance out the short hem to keep it modest enough for family functions. However, you can always slip in some black tights for extra coverage.

Red Dot Boutique V Neck Sequin Dress

Amazon

The holidays are one of the few times you can wear sparkles as an adult and no one can say a thing about it. Going up to a size 5XL, this number discreetly cinches in to define the waist before extending out in an A-line skirt.

Shestarr Long Sleeve Smocked Dress

Amazon

Amazon

The nice thing about this dress is that it can be re-worn season after season. Winter, spring, summer, and fall all make for a stunning backdrop to this long, flowy dress. There’s a leg slit in the skirt, and a trendy square neckline that emphasizes all the right places. Shoppers do say to size down, however, as the material is quite stretchy.

Pinup Fashion Contrast Mesh Cocktail Dress

Amazon

Amazon

If you show up to the function in this endearing dress, you’re guaranteed to get a ton of compliments. It’s not just the sheer, polka-dotted sleeves or the bow at the base of your neck, but the overall playfulness of the style feels flirty and fun.

Nmoder Casual Wrap Midi Dress

Amazon

Amazon

A wrap dress never fails to look flattering because it follows the natural curve of your body. Tight around the bust and flowy around the calves, this stylish number is for the hostess with the mostest.

Floerns Sleeveless Bodycon Dress

Amazon

Amazon

This number is sure to turn some heads—the bodycon style is complemented with a mock neck and no sleeves. The unique print feels elegant and sophisticated, enough to wear to a fancy dinner with a loved one.

The Drop Jaxon Rib Button Down Dress

Amazon

Amazon

If you’re looking for something a little more casual, then this button-down sweater dress is the way to go. When you’re done wearing it to the holiday party with some knee-high boots and a clutch, you can wear it on vacation with white sneakers and a sun hat.

Floerns Satin Cowl Neck Wrap Dress

Amazon

Amazon

The ultimate show-stopper, this velvet dress has all the qualifications needed to be considered a spectacular holiday dress. The spaghetti straps crisscross at the back and tie together just above your bum. The drapey cowl neck and high leg slit might feel a little too daring for some, but one reviewer said it was “easy to dance in” and “I chased around two children all night and it stood up to the test.”

Ekaliy Casual Vintage Ruffle Dress

Amazon

Amazon

Simple yet impactful, this shirt-dress can be dressed up with high heels or down with leather sneakers. The standout feature is the ruffled short sleeves. A loose fit guarantees all-day comfort, so no matter how much you dance, eat, or walk around, you won’t feel any constricting materials.

Floerns Glitter Dress

Amazon

Amazon

Last but not least, I adore this fun and flirty dress. She’s ready for a good time, whether that’s hitting up the bars or the dance floor. Certainly one of the more seductive options on this list, save this number for the New Year’s party rather than dinner with the family.
