Ruby Red Velvet Julkjol i Våningar

I was nervous the waistband would dig in, but the ruby velvet elastic is actually really comfortable for a full afternoon of present-opening chaos. This skirt swished beautifully with each tier and made my niece look like a tiny holiday queen. Already picturing it in next year’s family photo.

The velvet is so plush and the tiered layers have a beautiful swing when I walk. My daughter wore it for our Christmas Eve photos and it stayed put all evening thanks to the elastic waistband. Hand washing it was easy and it dried without any wrinkles.

I wore this to our office holiday party and the tiered layers really catch the light when you move—plus the elastic waistband meant I could actually eat dinner without discomfort. Despite the name, it passed the sit-down test flawlessly and held up perfectly after a gentle hand wash.
