Dress Up Games and the Holidays

The holidays are a great time for dress up games. When you start thinking of the huge number of dress up games available, it’s not hard to find ways to play:

Online dress up games. Kids are home for winter break over the holidays and the Christmas dress up games are significant part of filling that spare time if you’re into that sort of thing. Pull up some of the dress up games on the computer and you can spend hours working on those and enjoying your sense of fashion.

Dress up games and gifts. Dress up games make great gifts for the holidays as well. Think of the dress up activities that go under the Christmas tree. Fashion dolls and new clothing alone makes up almost half of the items that you can find under the tree. New games that involve fashion as well as gift cards that will be used to enjoy dress up games in a store are all great examples of holiday dress up games as well.

Christmas Dress Up Games

Playing dress up games is very much a part of the holiday season. When you play dress up games, you’re able to select new fashionable looks for the doll in the game, or you can use that doll to help you pick new outfits for yourself. When considering buying a special outfit, such as a new Christmas dress, you browse through the store looking for particular things and then have to try on so many of them. But spending time online playing dress up games can help you cut your shopping time dramatically.

If you play the dress up games before heading to the store, you’ll know exactly the sorts of things you’re looking for clothing-wise. You might realize that tailored pants and a satin or velvet top is more to your liking than an actual dress. Look for styles that resonate with you and keep a few in mind when you start the shopping trip. The more prepared you are ahead of time, the more successful your trip will be finding the sorts of clothing you’ve been looking for.

Snow Suit Dress Up Games

My favorite scene in any Christmas movie is Randy, the little brother in a Christmas Story, getting ready to walk to school. The warm winter clothes went on him followed by an extra sweater. Then the one-peice snow suit was pulled over it all and firmly zipped. A thick wooly hat went on his head and a scarf was wound about his face. At the end of it, Randy couldn’t raise or lower his arms as they were stuck in the thick suit and he could only waddle in his snow boots.

I think snow makes the perfect backdrop for dress up games. Where else do you get a chance to pull on so many layers? Start with long-underwear over your regular underwear. Then add a warm layer of shirts and pants before pulling on another sweater or sweatshirt. You might then slide into your own snow pants or at the very least pull on some snow boots.

If you wear jeans to play in the snow, your pants will get wet which might take some of the fun out of the day, so consider wearing a snow suit or snowboarding pants as part of your dress up game. Add a bulky snow jacket on top of everything and you’re almost there. Now you just need boot if you haven’t put them on already, gloves, scarves, hats and – if you’re like me – hand warmers tucked away for extra warmth. Online or in real snow, dress up games have great appeal.

Holiday Dress Up Games

I love the holidays and I especially love holiday dress up games.

Formal Dress Up Games
Easily my favorite, formal dress up games involve the kinds of gowns you get to wear to formal evenings at the theater and dances. I love the long gowns and sweeping trains. Paired up with gloves and a tiara, you simply can’t go wrong.

Costume Dress Up Games
You can’t beat Halloween for costumes, but Christmas comes close. You have the chance to dress up like an elf for the day if you want or maybe even pull on the full regalia of Santa or Mrs. Claus. Just once, I’d love to see someone show up at school dressed up like a reindeer.

Pajama Dress Up Games
Finally, I love Christmas morning when we all get to dress up in our pajamas and open gifts. Every girl should have at least one cute pair of pajamas, and this is the day to wear them. Since you will be in pictures, you should also take a moment to brush your hair and pull it into pigtails just to look that much cuter.

Three Easy Ways to Dress Up For Christmas

Christmas morning might be casual, but the rest of the holiday season seems to be filled with opportunities to dress up. You need comfortable yet attractive looks for church services, concerts, family dinners and the obligatory visits from relatives. Looking your best is always fun, but dress up games can give you help when you need it the most.

Grab Some Black Pants
Black pants are the easiest way to dress up for the holidays. Black pants pair up with anything, and if you choose a pair that can be washed in the washing machine, you can wear them and wash them over and over again. Black pants are such a staple, they simply fade into the background and nobody will notice if you wear them constantly.

Pick Out Easy Tops
With your black pants on bottom, you’ll need some bright tops. Pick festive items, but be sure they are easy to wash and wear. Go with trendy tops that suit your casual black pants. With so many chances to dress up, you can switch out the tops at will and always look great.

Invest in Black Boots
Those awesome black pants will need some black boots. If you can stomach it, go with the pointy-toe boots as they are the most fashionable and dressed up of your footwear choices.

Dress Up Games at Christmas

Christmas is the best time for dress up games – especially if you have a sister or a close friend who likes to play along.

Matching Christmas Pajamas
Christmas morning is a time of fun and excitement. No other morning brings with it so much fun and frivolity while dress in your pajamas. You’ll also be the subject of many pictures, so be sure to look your best. Pull your hair back into a messy bun and don your oversized Christmas pajamas. The kind with a button down top and drawstring bottom are always the cutest in my book. If possible, get a pair for you and for your family members. The more people in matching Christmas ‘jammies, the more fun the morning is!

The Christmas Dress
Remember when you were young and you couldn’t wait to get dressed up for Christmas dinner? You had a special Christmas dress that likely came with tights and shiny new shoes, and this was your special moment. Don’t let that excitement pass you by now. Go out and find a great new Christmas dress to wear and if you want some, grab tights, too. You might not be in red velvet with ruffles and bows, but then again….you might be.
