Post a Picture of Your Dress (Part 2)

What I am wearing on Embarkation Day!

 

Amanda, this is a beautiful dress. You may want to think twice though....it is usually quite windy!

Bike shorts! I wear them under sundresses all summer :)

I was planning on wearing them! LOL! I have been a yacht cruise and remember it being windy. But I just love this dress too much. And my sister told me when she sailed out of Galveston, her maxi dress made her feel all hot and sweaty. :eek: Not cute!

Plus it keeps my legs from rubbing in the heat while being just heavy enough to stay put.

I've noticed that... and so has everyone else :D

Oops.

[KandCsailing]

I have a pair of bike shorts that I wore to the gym and as spare pair of snorkle shorts over bikini bottoms with a tankini top. I like my fluffiness covered but skirted bottoms take forever to dry. The shorts come off and dry shorts or beach dress goes on quick over the rest.

 

I want to find some of the Jockey Skimmies Slipshorts to try under dresses and skirts. $22 Canadian. Seems like not a bad investment to save me some embarrassment.

Oh, so glad someone else is having withdrawal! :D

I have not worn the gown yet, it's for our 35th. anniversary cruise which is in Nov. 2014. I will post a picture then, as I'm trying to keep it a secret ;) from my DH !

Hey ladies! I'm a new poster on this thread but I've been lurking for a few weeks... I am SO jealous of all your fabulous dresses! I'm going on my first cruise in May (Carnival) and am already searching for dresses. Last summer I lost 40 pounds and one full dress size so nothing I have fits... all the more reason to go shopping, right? :)

 

I found two dresses this evening that I think are definitely cruise worthy! The first is a casual gray dress from Dress Barn that I got for FREE thanks to a coupon! I'm not a fan of the belt so I plan on changing it, as it's just a piece of ribbon. Also, the sleeves are open on the sides so they will fall down and not have the butterfly effect you see in the pic... didn't get a picture of them laying "normal." I thought this dress would be great for casual dinners. It's prettier in person.

 

 

And then I found this beauty at TJ Maxx! It's Lauren by Ralph Lauren and I think it will be great for our two formal nights with different accessories. I've been wanting a chiffon maxi dress and refused to pay $100+ for one but I found this one for $40. Score! I think it's a bridesmaid dress but whatever - I love it. It's more of a pinky purple in person but it comes off very cool toned in the pic.

I love your dresses...if you end up changing the belt on the grey dress..i would keep the same color...I really like it.

I have to admit I was wondering just today if she would be posting soon. She always has wonderful dresses and she always looks so great.

The Ralph Lauren post reminded me - I have a similar bridesmaid's dress.

This is the dress, but in black. (it has a little sparkle in the bust area)

 

Do you think it would be formal for Formal Night on Carnival?

I am pretty sure the last cruise I did I just wore a LBD and skipped the second night. I can't seem to remember how dressy it is.

Pretty! I have heard so many things about Carnival's formal nights that I'm not sure what to expect. I have a friend who has been on three Carnival cruises -- the first one, she wore her old prom dress and was totally out of place and the last two, they skipped formal night. She's really my only go to person to ask questions and that definitely doesn't help haha. I think with the right accessories, it would look fine!

I think it would be good for elegant night on Carnival. I wear gowns on elegant nights and cocktail dresses/nice dresses for casual nights andI'm never the only one.

Is that Alfred Angelo? I have my bridesmaids dress but won't be wearing it in the wedding till 2 weeks later so i can't use it for the cruise.

Thanks, it would be nice to wear it again ( you know the whole joke about bridesmaid dresses ) and its a pretty dress.

 

@Tinkerdevil - yes it is Alfred Angelo.

 

One more question - I will probably get it dry cleaned anyway. I'm wondering how I'll pack it and get the wrinkles out after. Anyone know if Carnival does pressing/steaming? Would I be better off just waiting and get it dry cleaned on the ship? Do they do that?

[royalcruz]

Bridesmaids dresses are fine to wear these days. It used to be that people didn't wear a lot of color in evening gowns, but bridesmaids dresses came in every bright and pastel color. Today we wear every color anyway, and bridesmaids dresses are no longer styled like Little Bo Peep!

You can give it to your room steward and they will take it down to be steamed and pressed. I think it is $9.00. They do a wonderful job. I usually just give them all of my dresses at once and they bring them back the next day. Not sure if they have dry cleaning, but the steam and press service is outstanding.

I'll get it cleaned here and have them press it.

Here are a couple dresses I just won on Ebay. An Old Navy maxi dress:

 

 

A Tahari gown I'd like to dress up with a belt and the right shoes:

 

Both are very pretty. I love the gown. I think just something around the neck would look fine.
