Drew's Wife Posted September 7, 2012 #1401 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hello everyone, Just returned from a fantastic cruise on Splendour round Eastern Med. We had 2 formal nights and these were what we wore. The red dress cost me £30 from someone and the blue one was a bargain (reduced from £150 down to £30). The long pale blue dress was my daughters prom dress, the long coral one was our other daughters prom dress. The short white one was £40 including shoes and bag and the short blue one was £10 from ebay. Hubby wore the same tux but we got him two dress shirts down from £50 each to £5 Really lovely family....thank you for sharing the photos!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew's Wife Posted September 7, 2012 #1402 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ohhhhh....love the blue!!! I didn't sleep last night either. I was watching old movies. Next time I'll shop! Well Joyce, next time, we will just have to get online together....I have a friend here that we shop online together all the time. We will call each other and get on the same web page and go from there....She will pick something and say go to this page and look, then I will do the same...We are like two teenage girls trying to figure out what to wear to school!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim_KS Posted September 8, 2012 #1403 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Of course I don't mind sharing....here is the link....let me know if it doesn't work and I can try to post it again...http://stores.ebay.com/Ever-PrettyUSShop I don't know anything about this seller or their clothes' date=' just took a chance. So far I have had pretty good luck with buying on Ebay and if it isn't up to par, then I haven't lost much as far as dollars invested. [/b'] I hope you'll let us know what you think after you get it. They have some really cute dresses at great prices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew's Wife Posted September 8, 2012 #1407 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Just not sure, this is the first time I have purchased from them...I just went by the measurments at the bottom of the picture. The other place that I always buy from makes the dresses according to the measurements that you send them. They have always been fine, but this time, I just have to take a chance. Oh I love this one! I wonder if it would fit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have learned to rely heavily on my tape measure and often message a seller asking for exact measurements if none are listed. Saves me from disappointment!

Rare Lois R Posted September 9, 2012 #1412 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Hi, I got this yesterday at Kohl's......I know most of the dresses on here are formal but this is not.....wonder if I should start another thread? "Non formal" dresses:D Here is a link to see it a bit more closely. http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/landingpages/apt9/womens/dresses/PRD~1091496/Apt+9+Paisley+Sublimation+Dress.jsp# Edited September 9, 2012 by Lois R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Non formal" dresses:D Oh, I got 2 new non formal dresses this week! Striped one is a sweater dress from Old Navy, leopard print is jersey knit from Talbots outlet and looks much better on than in the picture. On second thought, I'm not sure the leopard print picture is my exact dress, but it's similar. Edited September 9, 2012 by gymbomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karabear15 Posted September 9, 2012 #1415 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi everyone, I will be on my first new years cruise this December. Does anyone have pictures or ideas of what to wear for formal night and parties? I'm thinking sparkly for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishLassie Posted September 10, 2012 #1416 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Good morning ladies' date='[/color'] Was up early and started "window shopping"!;) I had been thinking about looking for a couple of new short cocktail dresses for the cruise and the upcoming holidays. I've never bought from this site before, so not really sure what to expect....hopefully it will be OK....if not I didn't lose a lot!;):) Hi Sherrie, I just LOVE this dress that you ordered! I went into the website, but couldn't find it. :confused: Was it just a "one of a kind" and did it come in other colors?? Hope you wouldn't mind if I order it too! :) We would just have to remember, if we ever are on a cruise together, not to wear it!!! :D Let us know when you receive it & what you think of it.

Judy, Of course I don't mind...why we could even wear them to the Post one night and be the "we're not sisters" ladies. :D See if this link will work.... if not let, me know and I wil try again....if you go to the site, and one the side, click what size dress...it should be bring up all the dresses in that size....I still see it on there in several sizes....They don't have an item number for each dress the way most Eba sites do...Would make it much easier. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diamante-Padded-Ruffles-Sapphire-Blue-Open-Back-Prom-Dresses-03521-US-Size-12-/230848678500?pt=US_CSA_WC_Dresses&hash=item35bfa74a64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew's Wife Posted September 10, 2012 #1418 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ladies, I also found another dress that I wasn't sure about, but Drew said..."oh buy it" so I did!:D Not sure how it will look...I'm not very tall...It would not look right to cut it off and hem it...I guess if it is too long, I willl have to have my alterations lady take if off from the waist....I've never worn anything like this....Always think dark solids for myself....but somehow I thought this might be pretty for a tropical cruise....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love the short blue and the long green. They sure have some really lovely clothes, but I've never worn a strapless dress and know I would spend all evening worrying about that. Does the dress have inbuilt shaping/bra? Cheers .. Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if the dress has a "built in bra"? I couldn't find any info about that on the site? I'm really tempted to buy it, even tho I don't need it!! :p But as I always tell my DH, "I don't need it, but I want it"! LOL Have you ever "bid" on a dress on EBay?
