April-in-NC Posted April 26, 2012 #52 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I just bought 3 dresses for $43 with free shipping! I REALLY hope they fit!!! I was looking for a few cheap dresses to wear on the Carnival Victory and I haven't had any luck in the retail stores. I'm only 5'3 and I love the Maxi style but can never find on that fits me right. I think the leopard bandau tea length dress might do it if I'm measuring correctly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjak4 Posted April 27, 2012 #53 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) I'm only 5'3 and I love the Maxi style but can never find on that fits me right. :) Is there a Belk Dept. store near you? I found a nice maxi dress at Belk in the petite dept -- on sale for $19. I am 5' 1". This was my "go-to" outfit for when my hubby and I would sit on our balcony in the evening; he loved it!

There is a Belk near my parent's house, I'm not sure there is one near me (if there is I've not seen it). If this dress doesn't work I will check them out. Thanks for the tip!!

Harlow2 Posted June 29, 2012 Author #56 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just purchased these for our August cruise...they are selling 2 for $16.99 ! I love these dresses - more comfortable than my pajamas! I also saw these same dresses during our last cruise, selling in port for $20 apiece http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320924501812&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunseeker11 Posted June 30, 2012 #58 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thanks for sharing the links to these beautiful dresses. Those of you in the US are very lucky to have free shipping. Retailsos won't ship to Canada, waiting for another one to get back to me. These dresses are amazing deals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunseeker11 Posted July 1, 2012 #59 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Was checking out other vendors. retailsos says they do ship internationally but when I try to contact them to find out rates it says I am unable to contact them, strange. I have found someone else that will ship, am trying to decide which dresses out of these ones (I really don't need any) http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-o-ring-halter-summer-dress-beach-v-neck-6-prints-/221004891300?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&var=&hash=item79175ae426 http://www.ebay.com/itm/TEAL-BEADED-HALTER-SUNDRESS-W-PADDED-BUST-BEACH-CRUISE-S-M-L-XL-/320895338970?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&var=&hash=item76c2136913 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BANDEAU-O-RING-FLORAL-HALTER-SUNDRESS-CRUISE-S-M-L-XL-/320706992695?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&var=&hash=item76c04c00a4 http://www.ebay.com/itm/TANK-EMPIRE-WAIST-BLUE-BLACK-PRINT-DRESS-W-SELF-TIE-SASH-S-M-L-XL-/221051058340?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&var=&hash=item7918179336 http://www.ebay.com/itm/V-NECK-EMPIRE-WAIST-FUSCHIA-BLACK-ORNATE-PRINT-DRESS-W-SELF-TIE-SASH-S-M-L-XL-/320813803576?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&var=&hash=item76c14190f3 sorry for all the links, I have no idea how to add a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldne Posted July 1, 2012 #60 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wow, great dresses! But are they clingy in the midsection? Also, does this fabric really keep you cool in the hot weather? I always thought it was better to wear natural fibers (cotton,etc) in hot weather? Thanks in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunseeker11 Posted July 1, 2012 #61 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I ended up buying the first 3 because the last 2 were sold out of my size and I just happen to have a credit sitting in my paypal account I forgot about so it didn't cost me anything! I hope they fit. Goldne - I tend to be a colder person so can't comment on the fabric, I do have similar dresses and what I love most is that they don't wrinkle. As far as clinging to the midsection, the last 3 I posted will be looser around the midsection, the first 2 are a straighter cut and wouldn't be as forgiving. For anyone not in the US that is interested in purchasing, I bought from featuredenterprises, the shipping is reasonable and he is willing to combine. I love the 3rd dress because it is a shorter "long" dress, I am short and find regular dresses too long. When I get them I will let you know how they fit Edited July 1, 2012 by Sunseeker11 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzisme Posted July 2, 2012 #62 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Waiting to hear re:fit and fabric,sun seeker as I am also Canadian. Not always easy to find sun dresses out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunseeker11 Posted July 13, 2012 #63 Share Posted July 13, 2012 My dresses have arrived and there wasn't any duty! They are quite nice for the price. As far as sizing goes, 1 fits perfect (black and teal bandeau) and the other 2 are quite generous. I am a size 6 and ordered size small. They are not clingy at the midsection at all. The floral bandeau sundress comes to my mid calves (I am 5'2") a perfect length for shorter people, The 2 with the bandeau tops could be worn as a dress with the right bra (although there is a bit of padding there is no support). The halter sundress is only good for a coverup, the top is quite loose and doesn't have a ton of coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessStar Posted September 2, 2012 #64 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks OP for sharing this site. I ordered one dress, got it and it is great for the price!!!! I will definately be ordering again. :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted September 4, 2012 #65 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I love the dresses, but I am wondering how they work with larger/um, droopier breasts. I am 67 and don't think the bandeaus would work for me. Anyone with a larger chest tried these dresses, especially the ones with a built in bra? So far I've never found a maxi dress that works for me. 5'3", 135#. I don't want to have to wear a bra with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlow2 Posted April 10, 2013 Author #66 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah!! finally getting to take another cruise....of course need more of these dresses. Looks like they have more XL's and Plus which will allow more room for the chocolate flourless cake!!

My last two summer casual dresses looked really cute and lightweight in the photos. When they arrived they were heavy as all get out... like a heavy weird knit material.

TakeMeAway1001 Posted April 14, 2013 #68 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I know these technically aren't sundresses, although the Blue one could be I recently bought these. Any dress that I can pack without wrinkling is for me, I recently bought these two dresses and they are so comfortable and light... I ordered them from Amazon and they arrived in three days. I went with the XL, I normally wear a 14 and occasionally a 16 in dresses and they fit great, not snug at all. http://www.funfash.com/media/0b/a20791a13d4afd529680e2_l.JPG http://www.funfash.com/media/09/a20791e13d03c8ab60cfff_l.JPG The description listed is~ 92% Poly 8% Spandex This slinky dress feels smooth and cool on your skin. Wrinkle free, making it perfect for packing on cruise or vacation. Empire waist cut is slimming as it flares into a swinging skirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted April 14, 2013 #69 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Soma sells really cute dresses and maxi dresses. They pack well and don't wrinkle much (they come out when you hang them). Today only you can get 50% off your highest priced item when you buy 2 items, using code 19892. I was able to get a full price maxi dress and a clearance shrug for $56 including tax and shipping.

beachbum764 Posted May 13, 2013 #73 Share Posted May 13, 2013 OMG!! Just found some new favorites! Love the material...lightweight like you are not wearing anything:D and does not wrinkle...very important when you cannot take your iron. It is hard for me to wear any other material on a cruise especially when in "sticky" climates! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321113430540&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321093902692&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221218294201&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeojuliette Posted June 14, 2014 #74 Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) So glad I found this board! I have found a wealth of information to help me get ready for our cruise. Thank you so much for leading me to this eBay store. I am now officially addicted to these dresses and the prices are unbelievable. The silky, stretchy, spandex material will come in handy when my stomach starts to expand, probably around day2 of our cruise ;) http://stores.ebay.com/MODA-SOS?_rdc=1 Edited June 14, 2014 by romeojuliette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
