tampabrat22 Posted February 26, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I thought it would be fun to have a thread about our kids cruise wear, I know sometimes people need suggestions or help finding the perfect clothes for the younger ones too, so I started a thread just for that!! Only problem is I put it over in the cruise fashion area!! I should have posted it in this section, but anyway if you are interested in sharing pics or whatever check out this thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1150805 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlett Fever Posted February 26, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Good info! We have 2 formal nights on our upcoming 6 night cruise and I was curious as to how formal. The great thing is my daughter looooves to dress up and she was in 2 weddings last Fall. Formal night looks like a good opportunity to wear those flower girl dresses again!

williamsk Posted March 2, 2010 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I know a lot of parents do not bother with formal wear, but I love dressing my almost 2yo up! She loves the dresses. I also think the other passengers treat her better, rather than expecting a crying toddler they seem to give her a chance. I am a sale queen and keep my eye out for pretty silk dresses in the clearance rack and at consignment sales. We almost always dress her up on all formal and semiformal nights.

Onessa Posted March 2, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Now that DD has reached her teen years and has moved into Juniors sized clothing - it has been a bit more difficult to get appropriate formalwear. There are "cocktail" type dresses galore (for prom, homecoming, other formals), but they tend to be a bit on the sexy side. She's 14YO and 1) doesn't have the goods to fill out some of these dresses (who could possibly be a size 00 and have that size bust? -- at least naturally :eek:), and 2) She's 14YO, she doesn't NEED to be sexy! She has a cute basic black halter style (although with the bare back, the bra cost more than the dress!) and a spagetti strap turquoise with a pretty black lace overlay that we shortened the straps to eliminate the clevage issues. I've had a similiar problem dressing her and her 14YO girl cousin for a couple of family funerals over the past few months. My DH's family made it pretty well intact into their late-80s and mid-90s, but have lost two great uncles, a great aunt, and grandpa within the past 8 months. Trying to find something that is conservative enough for a funeral for that age group (at least girls) is really quite a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
