sunlover2 Posted March 24, 2012 #751 Share Posted March 24, 2012 http://www.dressbarn.com/detail/silky-belted-tank-dress/100987690/500 I just bought this purple "silk" dress. It looks better on of course. It manages to have a straight cut without clinging in the wrong spots ;). It kind of has a retro vibe. I plan to pair it with black heels and a very sparkly bracelet and earrings. AND it was only $39. I like that I can wear it on the cruise as well as other places. :D Love the dress!!!! And the color is beautiful!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted March 27, 2012 #752 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Love the dress!!!! And the color is beautiful!!! Thanks :D. It has a nice shine to the material that doesn't show in the pic. It's a little more simple than I usually chose, but I really liked how it fit and it's more versatile after the cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthopper101 Posted April 3, 2012 #753 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thank you ladies. Hope everyone is doing well. We had ten ports in the last twelve days. I am tired and my poor feet. We are now heading to Dubai. Take care ladies & have a great day. Marie Wore this after we left Sri Lanka. We have a Raj Ball tonight. I will wear my old dress from the last cruise. Wore this after we left Mumba last night. I forgot to bring a black slip, I had to wear a gray tank. In person you really cannot see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted April 3, 2012 #754 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Marie, you look fabulous, once again. I was just wondering where you were so checked your schedule last night and it looked like you were somewhere around India. Also, looks like your cruise is coming to an end with only about 20 days left. The sari is spectacular and I love you in the yellow.:) MLTY, C.

I miss talking with you on the phone. We have a lot catching up. I will call you as soon as I got home. Yes, we have 20 more days left. Four days ago we had piracy drill. We now have a few Royal Navy and armed guards on the ship, also there are five small ships escort us for the next 15 days. At 5:30 p.m. we have to come inside and close all the drapes. All the upper decks of the ship be darkened after sunset. Ken is at the theater for Piracy presentation. Better be safe than sorry right? Please say hello to your wonderful husband. MLTY.

Nebr.cruiser Posted April 4, 2012 #760 Share Posted April 4, 2012 You'll love the TA! We've done spring transatlantics three years in a row. Missing one this year, but doing the Med instead. Be prepared for a variety of weather! From hot to warm to coolish, and windy on the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedley_odwin Posted April 5, 2012 #762 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Glorious dresses as always Marie! I particularly love the one for the Raj ball :) I thought I'd found the first of my formal dresses the other day, but then there was a tiny hole at the base of the zipper *sigh* it looked great on though, so I at least know what kind of dress shape I'm looking for :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loralie Posted April 5, 2012 #763 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I recently lost 40 pounds so dress shopping was so much more fun then it used to be! :D Here is a link to the dress I just bought for my cruise next week.

MishaKudo Posted April 7, 2012 #769 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I love this thread! It helps me to know what sort of outfits I'd like to have for my 5 day cruise! You ladies all look so lovely! And Marie your wardrobe is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, you look great in everything! Can't wait until I have my pictures to post here! Still need to lose some weight before I start my searching/shopping next month. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted April 7, 2012 #770 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thank you. I still need to lose 10 more pounds to get to my weight watchers goal weight. Hopefully the cruise won't hurt me too much. I love all the dresses on this thread. Very nice ladies! loralie Congratulations on your weight loss. When we cruise, I pick only the best things to eat and never waste my time on things I could have anytime like, pizza, burgers and fries. Take the stairs as often as you can and skip the elevators. Many times it's quicker anyway than waiting for one. I usually gain a few pounds but they come right off as soon as I get home and eat like I do at home. I also found that I could overindulge a bit one day without gaining but never do it two or more days in a row. Don't eat every course. I'm sure you will be just fine.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingGatorGirl Posted April 7, 2012 #771 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Port hopper, You have such grace and elegance! I love that you dress up every night, I plan on wearing a dress every night on my cruise. However I do not have the amount of gorgeous gowns as you! I need to start checking the sale racks, you have inspired me :) Can't wait to see more dresses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted April 8, 2012 #772 Share Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) I bought this yesterday:) if any of you are interested, SOMA'S sells more than just intimate wear! Dresses too and they are having a sale:) I love this dress.....it is not in the same genre as Maria's beautiful formalwear but I still love it;) I need to find a shrug....thinking red for a pop of color:) Edited April 8, 2012 by Lois R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted April 8, 2012 #774 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Hi Jan, thanks:) the straps in the back just cover my bra straps. I still think a shrug makes it look nicer. The store had them but no red ones in my size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
