This cute fit and flare elf dress is modest enough for an office party, and sassy enough for an after hours soiree too. The green mini-dress features a fanciful red trimmed hemline with gold over stitching, round neck with a bright red collar, short sleeves and Christmas peppermint painted buttons down the front. It’s finished off with an adjustable black belt. Get it in women’s sizes from Small to X-Large.
The red and green hat features that iconic elfin curl and it’s finished with tiny brass jingle bells. We love the red and white striped tights, but they’re not included so you might want to order this pair. Also, a pair of black slouchy boots would be cute, although some sparkly ballet flats would be adorable too.

If you loved everything about the movie Elf, you might want to channel your inner Jovie the elf this Christmas, by learning a little more about her. The character played by Zooey Deschanel in the movie was slightly snarky and behaved somewhat out of the normal elf realm, (really, no singing?) hence this pink versus red elf dress. This cute costume features a shimmery pink velveteen dress, with white faux fur trims. Red embroidery at the neck and the bright red belt make it a show stopper.
The costume includes a pointy pink and red hat, as well as curly toe red shoe covers. It comes in a single size that fits women up to size 12. Grab some red tights to go with this outfit, and if you’re doing the Christmas party scene with your guy, get him the Buddy the Elf costume to wear.
