5 red dresses from $47.90 you can wear for Christmas 2024 and re-wear for CNY 2025 to save some money

As the festive season approaches, most of us are preparing for a merry Christmas gathering and the soon-to-come celebrations of CNY 2025.

A red dress can be your go-to piece for both big occasions and that’s why we’ve curated a list of red dresses, starting from $47.90 just for you ladies.

Have a look and check-out your favorites ♥️

Rowana Ribbon Smocked Dress In Wine

Price: $47.90

First up, we have this wine-hued dress that delights with a smocked bodice reminiscent of vintage designs.

Though vintag-ey, this isn’t your ah-ma’s frock—the polyester blend fabric features a fully lined construction and a touch of stretch for day-to-night comfort.

Flirty flare sleeves and self-tie ribbon add romantic flair accents, while side pockets keep essentials close.

Slip into this dress and twirl through your day.

The deep, rich wine shade complements any complexion.

Red Sketched Florals Dropwaist Dress

Price: $53.90

Crafted from a lightweight, poly-blend fabric, this red sketched floral dropwaist dress drapes beautifully and keeps you feeling comfortable all day.

There’s an inner lining that offers coverage.

It also features functional side pockets and a concealed back zip.

We like how it also comes with a detachable sash that lets you play stylist by cinching your waist or leaving it flowing.

Since each dress features a randomly placed print, no two are exactly alike.

Slip it on with sandals or dress it up with heels.

Pareesa Column Dress (Tangerine)

Price: $53.90

Like a ripe citrus fruit plucked straight from the grove, this tangerine column dress radiates.

Made using a luxurious French polyester-rayon blend, this piece has no clingy stretch here.

Cut in a streamlined column shape, the concealed back zip delivers a clean finish while the full lining ensures an opaque drape.

This striking number is certainly a bold burst of hue, guaranteed to make you the “brightest” human in any space you’re at for the holidays.

Eyelets Naturale Knotted Wrap Dress Burgundy Red

Price: $59.90

Why not stay breezy and on-trend with this lightweight, breathable eyelet wrap dress in burgundy red?

The contemporary textured pattern and button-down detailing give it a modern edge, while the twisted knot front creates an eye-catching silhouette that flatters your waistline.

A wrapped neckline with a safety clasp ensures a secure fit.

Made using a cotton linen blend, the fabric keeps you cool and comfortable on SG’s summer days.

Plus, the elasticized back provides flexible ease of movement so you can go about your day easily.

Fully lined for coverage.

Ruched Midi Dress in Red Gingham

Price: $119

Last but not least, we have this red gingham midi dress that brings a fresh retro twist to a timeless ruched silhouette.

The figure-flattering bodice cinches at the waist before skimming over the hips, creating a feminine hourglass shape.

We love the classic gingham print in a vivid red hue + breathable 100% cotton fabric that will keep you cool through warm and humid weather.

Half-lined through the bodice, this day-to-night dress can be a wardrobe staple you will reach for again and again past Christmas 2024 and CNY 2025.
