holiday dress

Seasonal celebration outfit

A holiday dress is a dress worn for festive occasions—Christmas parties, New Year's Eve, Thanksgiving dinner, or other seasonal celebrations.

The term implies something dressier than everyday wear, often featuring richer fabrics, sparkle, or jewel tones: She bought a new holiday dress for the office party.

In retail contexts, holiday dress refers to the category of such clothing.
