It’s wintertime, so one of the hottest fabrics for semi-formal occasions is velour. It’s velvety soft, elegantly luminous, and it’s a fabulous textile for tops and dresses. This Pintuck Velour Dress will be a wonderful addition to your holiday wardrobe.

This dress seems to have been influenced by the 1960s and 70s. Rounded shoulders, puffy sleeves, a scoop neckline, and an A-line silhouette are all definitely reminiscent of the era. Updates to this look include the fabric choice as well as the eye-catching pintucks. Placed in the center of the garment, these vertical lines add depth to the outfit. Likewise, the placement attracts the eye to the center of the gown, helping to slim down your appearance. The material drapes luxuriously from the pintucks, brilliantly masking your midsection. Women who are top-heavy should avoid this garment since it will overemphasize your bust and shoulders.

Although I enjoy this reinvented retro look, I’m not too sure about some of the color choices. Teal and Wine both work well for the holidays. Whereas teal should go with most complexions and hairstyles, wine has red undertones that could easily clash with your hair and skin. Chocolate is a peculiar color for this particular dress. It’s not a winter color, and is actually kind of drab overall. Technically chocolate is a neutral shade, but I’d still opt for either the teal or wine.

Prices run between $29.99-34.99 based on size, which makes this a sweet deal for such a lovely holiday gown.
