Thanks everyone <3 The photographer was being a total um.. humm.. cant think of a good word that is polite.. SO I was rather aggravated by the time she took the picture lol. I do need to try & smile more.. I just hate my smile :-p We will see how this turns out lol. Ty for the kind words & I will try to update when I get the shawl <3

Ok Not a great picture but this is from our first cruise.. My mom & I will be going on another one, alone, in 2 weeks :-)

This is the ONLY picture I have of me in my formal clothes lol. I am VERY hard on myself so I did everything I could to hide.. I am the one on the right with the husband who looks like he just saw a ghost Lol.. My mom is to the left of my husband.. she is gorgeous & thin & beautiful.. *sigh*

SO Anyways. my dress is a black tank top type dress (not sure if tank is the best description, but it has no sleeves & just an inch or so of fabric for each strap) The material is like a velvet.. I am not sure EXACTLY what kind it is but it feels velvety lol.

The shawl I had was black velvet as well.. I dont want to wear that one again unless I have to. I was looking at this one:

Which the seller said : IT'S MADE OF 77% SILK AND 23% CASHMERE. MADE IN CHINA. DRY CLEAN ONLY. IT MEASURES APPROX. 76" LONG BY 21 1/2" WIDE. VERY NICE.

My question is 1. would it match a velvet type dress? and 2. do you think that combo of silk & cashmere will wrinkle? lol. I am already stressing about packing & avoiding wrinkles.. dont want my "comfort" shawl to be wrinkled too.. I also thought of grabbing another color for another night but again, the material is throwing me.. Not sure what goes with Velvetish material lol. Guess in the AM I will pull out the dress & get the ACTUAL material listed.. *sigh*

Any Opinions?? & Thank you in advance <3 Oh & PS yes those are my kids :-) My oldest is 15 now.. My daughter is 12 & my youngest is 6.. This picture was back in 2010.. :cool:
