JulieRose Posted February 12, 2012 #76 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Thank you, everybody. I'm really excited about it. I was extremely lucky to find such a gorgeous dress with such a perfect fit and phenomenal price. Now I just need to send it to my mother who lives near Port Everglades to be cleaned and pressed and we're ready to go! The other formal night should be the evening of my wedding so of course I will be wearing the wedding gown for that (even though we will not be eating in the MDR.) That's out with the seamstress being taken in but since my FH and guests are not on this board I don't mind posting pics of that as well once I have some. This is part of what excites me so much about cruising! (we haven't even been on one and I already have 3 more itineraries I want to book.) Having a closet full of pretty gowns. I just wish I had more occasions to wear them. Edited February 12, 2012 by JulieRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2sail7 Posted February 12, 2012 #77 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I came across this dress last night and I think it's going to be my formal dress! It's perfect Andlookattheback! :eek: I'm in love.. HI LEXIpoo - love love love that dress! Can you share where you found it online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted February 12, 2012 #78 Share Posted February 12, 2012 You said it! I was really excited about it. I <3 second hand shops but it's rare that I find a formal dress that needs no alterations. I have pretty "odd" measurements. I have a pretty big booty, so I love dresses that are more A-line and fall away from the body like the one you chose. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieRose Posted February 12, 2012 #79 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have a pretty big booty, so I love dresses that are more A-line and fall away from the body like the one you chose. :) That's funny because I like it for exactly the opposite reason! I have no hips or rump to speak of so it gives the illusion that I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieRose Posted February 13, 2012 #81 Share Posted February 13, 2012 See, A-lines are awesome...nobody knows what's under them, lol.;):D agreed! My seamstress yelled at me this week for suggesting that we should taper my wedding gown. it seemed like the right thing to do at the time but now that I consider it, that A-line is what is gonna make me a hot bride.

So pretty and looks great on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centralcalicruzer Posted February 13, 2012 #87 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Cruisinnancy, Thank you, I got it from J.C. Penney, summer 2010, so it's probably not around anymore. It is one of my favorite dresses, I love that the skirt is slightly full but still flattering (I think sometimes super full skirts make you look heavy).
