laurspag Posted March 7, 2012 #626 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Marie, I love all of your beautiful dresses! Do you shop at many different stores, or do you get the dresses at a variety of places? Cactusgirly, thanks for posting those. They are great! For the record, I wear a dress every night of a cruise. The dining room is beautiful, so I feel like it fits. In addition, I have a desk job during the week, and I mostly wear dress pants and jackets. It feels really good to dress up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieRose Posted March 8, 2012 #632 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) quite a long time ago, I promised to post a pic of my wedding gown (which I will be wearing to dinner after the ceremony on the first formal night.) I finally got it back today! I will also repost a pic of my gown for the second formal night. I know the photos are not great but you can get an idea of what they look like from these.

OklaCruiserMom Posted March 8, 2012 #633 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wow, such beautiful dresses! (Kleo, Rose1, and JulieRose) Love them! Julie, is Rose your maiden name or your middle name? Just curious- it was my maiden name. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongBirdCruiser Posted March 8, 2012 #634 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I always love seeing everyone's lovely dresses! The two dresses I ordered from Light in the Box just arrived today, and I am SO excited! Noone else was home when I tried them on so I haven't snapped a pic yet, but I'll try to get one posted in the next couple of days. I absolutely LOVE the way they fit, and the quality was outstanding. They took about 5 weeks to arrive here, and I admit I was a bit concerned after reading some of the feedback on the site about some customers having to pay some sort of additional taxes or something when their dresses arrived. For the record, there was nothing of that sort when mine arrived. I couldn't be happier with them! Can't wait to wear them on our cruise in May! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthopper101 Posted March 9, 2012 #635 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thank you, ladies. My foot is doing much better. I have been going to the spa twice a week for feet treatment. They put my feet in warm water with some kind of mud, oils and little rocks, while my feet are soaking she massage my back, shoulder and head, then she massage my legs and feet with cellutox active oil and refreshing gel. I bought a twenty treatments package. Fyree39. I bought the lavender, white, green mermaid and the carnival ball gown at www.newyorkdess.com. I hate to go shopping. I buy most of my gowns, dresses and clothing at Saks, Neman Marcus, Bloomingdale, Nordstrom and Net-A-Porter.com. They have free shipping and free return. Have a great day ladies.

Lessum Posted March 11, 2012 #649 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well...after looking in my closet at the same tired old dresses I decided I was tired of seeing the same clothes in EVERY vacation picture!!! We are going on an 8 night cruise for our 10th anniversary on April 14th (anniversary was actually last November) with NO kids!!!! Anyway, I do have 2 gowns that I haven't worn in years and still fit!!! So I will wear those - gladly! However, I like to dress for dinner the other nights and I like sundresses/casual dresses for daytime too...so I took myself to the Ross Dress Event tonight and came home with 8!!! dresses - well actually 7 and a cute beach coverup that could pass as a dress. I also got two dresses the other day at JC Penney...so now I have 5 new semi dressy/dressy cocktail dresses and 4 new casual dresses and a beach cover up. So, I think I am good to go!!! Just need a new silver evening bag, maybe a new pair of flip flops (not beach) and I think my shopping will be done! I am so excited! 5 weeks til the cruise!!

Don't you just love it when things come together so quickly and with a bargain? I see you're going on the Valor, it was my very first cruise ship right after it was built and I fell in love with cruising. Have fun and happy anniversary.
