Sinppu Posted October 13, 2013 #3826 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Tank you very much! :D & I think you are mistaken about something, because I have no husband, let alone a boyfriend! ^^ I'm in grade 12 in highschool LOL. So I'm not quite sure what you're referring to! :p Human error, I'm sure -you probably got mixed up with Sailor_Sally ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cat_in_cda Posted October 14, 2013 #3829 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Since we are going on an 11 night cruise in January, I decided that I wanted to look for some cocktail dresses in addition to my gowns. The strapless I picked up yesterday at a thrift store $20 and the sequined dress I won on an Ebay auction a few weeks ago for $32. I am thinking of changing into the sequin party dress after dinner on formal nights, since it will be easier to go dancing with our friends. :D Lisa ---------------------- great dresses on you Lisa and fantastic prices also ... Have a great cruise in January !!! .... Dave and I are heading out on the Carnival Breeze in December to celebrate our 10 yr anniversary and I have already started my clothes packing list lol ....:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially loving the sparkly one! Suits your personality to a T. I agree about the wardrobe change after dinner. As much as I love my formal gowns, I like to change out of them for the rest of the evening and be more comfortable, but I like to still be dressed up. Cocktail dresses are the perfect go-to change since my makeup and hair are already glammed up. Much love girlfriend!~ Judy Edited October 14, 2013 by heyitsmejudy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlymcgurly Posted October 14, 2013 #3831 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I plead guilty to being the one with the husband in Afghanistan. Thank you for your thank you. :) I will certainly pass it on. I just got him to sign up on CC yesterday. :D And thank you all who like my dress and left such nice comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHeadTexan Posted October 15, 2013 #3836 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Thanks Gerry! Walt is now considering bringing both his tux and his seersucker suit since I am dressing up on several nights. He looks dashing in the seersucker...still shocked that he agreed to that suit...so I am happy that it will make an appearance. I am glad that we are driving to port so we can bring unlimited amounts of clothes. :eek::D:D:D Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauderdale for the cruise. We had a ball and it was so much fun not having to worry about luggage limits. I had 1 suitcase that had all of the Christmas decorations in it. This year we are flying so I have to cut way back on decorations and clothes.:eek: Have a great day Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurabegorrah Posted October 15, 2013 #3838 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Oh, and on a side note, I went to Target today and picked up one of those sticky bras. :p I'll let ya know what I think! I do theatre, and have used them on stage. My only concern is when you get a bit sweaty.....let's just say I almost had one fall out of the bottom of my dress. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishLassie Posted October 15, 2013 #3841 Share Posted October 15, 2013 BEAUTIFUL dress, Laurie. I too bought those "stick on bra cups" at Target, but haven't tried them yet. Sure hope they work! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNGALOHA Posted October 15, 2013 #3842 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I have used the sticky bras but if you need support I wouldn't advise using them there is no support there at all. I didn't have any trouble with the slipping the first time I used them but did the times after. The sticky isn't anywhere near as sticky after the first wearing. Hope that made sense.

Normajean999 Posted October 15, 2013 #3843 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello all. I am new and will be going on my first cruise in 18 days! [stoked!]. I just wanted to share my bargains I got. I am not a fashion guru or experienced shopper. I rarely have an occasion to dress up. But I was so excited to get the chance. I live in a fairly small town. Macy's and JC Penny's are about it around here. I searched high and low and found nothing. I was hoping to get 2 gowns around $100 each. Good much huh? Well I finally broke down and ordered the ivory one on eBay. It was a Clarisse which seemed to be a good brand. It was beautiful but too big and did not fit well so I planned to get it altered which i sure would not be cheap. Then I went to Macy's again and found this beautiful purple gown for $99. I found out later it was an online return. When I bought it I opened a Macy's account to get 20% off my purchase (as I had about $600+ in other cruise summer clothes and accessories) plus I would get another 20% off my first statement. I also paid $25 to sign up for their "thanks for sharing" program to get a 10% rebate next spring. When I got home I realized they only gave me 15% off and there was a big flaw on the dress. I went back and they corrected it, ordered me a new dress, and gave me $25 Macy's bucks. So I thought I was all set. Then yesterday I stop in and I spot a bunch of gowns (that i have no idea where they came from because i've been there a couple times a week for months) and there is this beautiful grey gown on a 65% off rack but only marked 25% off. Its so heavy it must weigh 5 lbs! I ask about it expecting to hear "too bad" because I've been trying to get a cocktail dress for weeks that still rings up 25% off and they say they can't. Well today they got the ok on the gown! Wish the darn cocktail dress was still there! First day I could not find it! So long and short I ended up getting both gowns for $24 after my rebate next spring! Holy cow! Plus I was able to put a stop on the other gown from being altered. Maybe I'll try to sell it online as they won't accept returns. I've learned my lesson there. So I did spend $100 on that as well. I hope the pics come through. This is my first try.

Normajean999 Posted October 15, 2013 #3844 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I forgot to mention I also got 15% off the grey dress for using my card. It was $240 reg price and I got it for 80% off plus my 10% rebate. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie S. Posted October 15, 2013 #3847 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks! I'm surprised how heavy the dress is, but it's nicely lined and the sequins are a good material. The only adjustment I need to make is the one-shoulder strap, which is a plain material behind that "flower." It needs to be about 2 inches shorter to keep the shoulder up on me. I may even do it myself, if I can dig out my sewing machine. LOL Oh, and that slit goes right to top of my thigh. :eek: Edited October 15, 2013 by Laurie S.

Well I never asked her the cost to alter as I figured I was stuck with it and had to pay the price. :) When I pick it up I'll ask her just so I know. I do like it so its a thought.
