A Vogue editor recounts her hilarious experience wearing the Bode Christmas tree dress, complete with a lost ornament and a frantic search under bar tables.
It takes me under 12 minutes to lose an ornament on the Bode Christmas tree dress. I cannot, for the life of me, tell you how I lost it so quickly. All I know is that between leaving my West Village apartment at 7:02pm and walking into Chez Margaux at 7:14pm, a wooden bell fell off the green tulle hem and onto, most likely, the cement wasteland of 13th Street.
By 7:22pm, I was on my hands and knees looking for the festive figurine under a table as my friend’s iPhone cast a light across the bar that was so bright several people began to stare. “Did you lose an earring?” a waiter asked as he held a tray of martinis. “No, uh, sorry – an ornament.” “A what?” “An ornament,” I said from the floor. “Do you know if anyone has found a small wooden bell?” He paused. “I… I don’t think so.” A week earlier I was on Bode’s website browsing for Christmas gifts when I stumbled upon an item beautiful in its bizarreness: a green tulle and sequined dress shaped like a Christmas tree decorated with dozens of vintage ornaments. The first thing that came to mind was, Can you even wear this? That was quickly answered by a blurb below: Founder Emily Bode wore it to her brand’s Christmas party in 2022. The next thing that came to mind: Who would wear this? I knew, deep down, the answer was me. Usually, my style is, well, pretty boring. My favourite colour is navy, I have three drawers dedicated to various sweaters, and this year I asked for penny loafers for Christmas. (I already own a pair, but you can never have too many.) Yet I’ve always been innately curious about clothing that, in the words of Susan Sontag, “dethrones the serious”: Katy Perry wearing a chandelier to the Met Gala, Lenny Kravitz draped in a scarf bigger than himself, Rihanna going to dinner in a red fur heart-shaped Saint Laurent jacket. What if, for one night, that could be me? So after pitching the story to my editors here at Vogue, I emailed Bode to see if I could test-drive the Christmas tree dress. They agree
