Which holiday princess dresses sell best in December?
Think in occasions, not in styles. Each colour family below matches a moment parents already have on their calendar, which makes the dress easy to sell in a post, a window or a live sale.
| Occasion | Colour family | Styles to start with | Wholesale price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas photos and parties | Red, red sequin | Red Ruffle Tulle Princess Dress, Red Sequin Feather Cuff Princess Dress | $11 / $12 |
| Church, weddings, Christmas Eve | White and cream | White Feather Trim Long Princess Dress, Cream Tutu Princess Dress, White Fluffy Tutu Princess Dress | $11-$12 |
| New Year party | Black | Black Tutu Princess Dress | $11 |
| Birthdays all season | Pastel and pink | Pastel Rainbow Tutu Princess Dress, Pink Tutu Princess Dress | $11-$12 |
How many holiday princess dresses should a boutique buy?
For a first holiday drop, keep it small and wide: 3-4 designs at 10 pieces each through ready to ship. That is 30-40 dresses, enough to fill a rail and a social post without tying cash up in one colour.
Split sizes by what you sold last season. If you have no history, weight the middle sizes and keep one or two pieces in the smallest and largest sizes; our kids size guide for wholesale orders explains how to read the size chart.
- Test buy: 3 designs x 10 pcs (ready to ship).
- Repeat buy: re-order the colour that sold first, as soon as it sells through half its stock.
- Exclusive colour or custom trim: move to a group order (from 30 pcs per design) or custom.
When is the last safe date to order for Christmas?
Use the same formula the free Cherrysmock planner uses: order-by date = sale date – (lead time + shipping + receiving and photos + buffer).
Example only (your shipping time depends on country and method): you want dresses on the shelf by 1 December. Ready to ship takes 5-7 days, express shipping might take about 7 days, receiving and photos 3 days and a 4-day buffer. 7 + 7 + 3 + 4 = 21 days, so you should order by about 10 November. See wholesale dress shipping cost for how we quote freight.
If your date is already close, stay with ready to ship. Group orders (about 20 days) and custom (about 30-35 days) are better planned for Valentine and Easter.
How should you price a $11 wholesale princess dress?
Start from landed cost, not the factory price. Landed cost = dress price + share of shipping + duty and fees. Then price = landed cost / (1 – target margin), adjusted for the pieces you expect to discount at the end of the season.
Example only: $11 dress + $3 shipping and duty share = $14 landed. At a 60% margin the shelf price is $14 / 0.4 = $35. Many boutiques round to a $34.99-$39.99 holiday price point. The planner does this maths for you for every style.

Factory insight: Black and white princess dresses sell for longer than red ones. Red sells mostly for Christmas, while black and white tulle styles keep selling for New Year parties, winter weddings and January birthdays, so balance a holiday order at about half red and half black or white.
