The Christmas Keepsake | Custom-Made Girls Holiday Couture Dress

Some Christmas dresses are worn for a season. The Christmas Keepsake was designed to become part of the memory.

Inspired by the magic of an old-fashioned Christmas, this custom-made couture dress combines a whimsical red holiday tree print with layers of ivory lace, metallic gold detailing, and a beautifully full vintage silhouette.

Each Christmas Keepsake is made to order for your child, allowing us to create the gown using her measurements rather than selecting from a standard rental size.

A Storybook Christmas Silhouette

The fitted bodice features a classic rounded neckline accented with delicate gold trim. Gold detailing follows the princess seams for a refined touch of sparkle, while soft ivory-and-gold lace ruffles gently frame the shoulders.

The back features a beautiful deep scoop with adjustable corset-style lacing, allowing for additional flexibility in fit.

The full gathered skirt is designed with our signature vintage short length and finished with generous layers of ivory-and-gold lace.

Underneath, layers of bridal-soft and structured tulle create the beautiful bell-shaped fullness seen in our original Christmas Keepsake. An incorporated crinoline adds structure so the skirt holds its shape without becoming excessively bulky or stiff.

Custom Made for Her

Your Christmas Keepsake will be created specifically for your child using the measurements submitted with your order.

This design can be made in a range of child and tween sizes, subject to fabric availability.

Because the proportions of the bodice, skirt, lace, and trim are adjusted according to the child's measurements, the finished gown will maintain the intended vintage couture silhouette rather than simply scaling a standard-size dress up or down.

Couture Details

The Christmas Keepsake features holiday tree-print fabric, a fully lined bodice, ivory-and-gold lace shoulder ruffles, delicate metallic gold trim, a full gathered skirt, layered lace hem, multiple tulle underlayers, structured crinoline fullness, adjustable corset-style back, and a coordinating oversized hair bow.

Perfect For

Designed for the Christmas moments that deserve something extraordinary, this gown is beautiful for holiday portraits, Christmas minis, Nutcracker outings, Christmas parties, family celebrations, fine-art photography, Christmas Eve, and heirloom portraits.

And unlike a photography-only piece, your custom Christmas Keepsake belongs to you—ready to be worn, photographed, saved, and perhaps one day passed down.
