:( How old do you consider to be too old for a strapless gown? :(:( I'm sad because I think I'm ... ahem ... too mature for that now, at 58. My last 4 gowns have at the least straps and some have sleeves and because I am large busted it does help keeping the girls in place and is more comfortable.

 

BUT - there is a GORGEOUS Kay Unger ball gown at the Saks outlet that I've seen twice now. Just hanging there calling my name, but it is strapless. A straight neck line, nothing too low but I just think "that ship has sailed" for me. If it were black I'd consider putting a short, dressy shrug over it but it is not black.

 

Anyone else out there feeling like I am that there comes a time that you have to let is go?

If it is the dress in the picture, it looks lovely. If you feel comfortable in it just go for it.

Thank you. Most people look great in Black but I don't, and when I had my colours done she told me to never wear anything Black not even mascara!

We are going on Britannia to the Carribean in January.

Someone has suggested that I try grey and I have googled grey formal dresses and some nice ones came up. I might try some on. Otherwise I will wear either my navy or cream lace dress.

Thanks, it is always good to know the situation. I will give it some thought, I do have a navy lace dress so could wear that.

I really like to look my best and want to enjoy every evening on the cruise so find this all a bit narrow and disappointing, being restricted to two colours that I am sure many people don't look good in.

I could just have room service but would feel very cheated.

Thanks CB you don't know how pleased I am to hear that. I almost bought a black dress today even though I know I would look dreadful in it.

I can relax now.

A week may make a big difference. If not do you think Touche Éclat would disguise some of the marks? Maybe if the marks are on one side you could turn sideways?

I really hope it heals quickly, maybe if you rub vitamin E oil in between now and when you go.

Have a great cruise.:)

I have a problem with Black and White night on my upcoming cruise to the Carribean. I have had my colours done and I am an Autumn and should never wear Black or White. These colours just drain me. I do have a cream lace dress, do you think that would be acceptable?

I am not happy to eat in the buffet as I feel I should be allowed to use which ever restaurant I choose and should not be restricted by this narrow colour choice. I love to dress up but I am not happy to wear Black or White. Does anyone have any experience of these Black and White nights on P &O and is there any leeway?
