lszu Posted July 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I've got one new formal (from last year) that is ankle length. The other one (cocktail length) I've been wearing since Cruise 1. Time for a new one, I think. I was poking around HSN (yeah, usually a QVC shopper, but they don't have a huge formal selection) and found a Maggie Sweet Charmeuse Faux Wrap dress in a couple of pretty colors (don't really want black). It comes in petite and is less than $35. Is this too good to be true? Any one familiar with this line? There were three customer reviews - 2 good, 1 not.

Happy ks Posted July 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Is this your dress? I think it would look very nice on a petite woman. I've never bought from QVC or HSN, so I would make sure they have a return policy for sale items. What color were you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted July 7, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2005 lszu, do you have a Dillards near you? EVERYTHING is on sale:D Including their "Dressy" and "Special Occasion" dresses. I wasn't going to get 2 new dresses for this cruise but I couldn't help it;) I got the black one a couple of weeks ago. And I wanted some COLOR too. I found a fantastic baby blue long dress at Dillards today. I went after work and I am very happy. They have MANY, MANY racks of sales. Anywhere from 33%, 50% and 75% off. This was on the 50% off. Originally 100.00 and I got it for 50.00:) It is a textured bottom, flows nicely. (has a wonderful hand to the material) It is a tank style with a fantastic jacket full of silver and blue sparkles. This dress will be used again on another cruise, I can promise you that! I absolutely LOVE IT! I am so glad I got a COLOR! And I love blue! I don't know about the Maggie Sweet Line at HSN...other than seeing it it when I channel surf. But if you have a Dillards near you......check them out!

esther e Posted July 7, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Lois I don't think Dillards has gotten north yet. Could be wrong though. Hey, we have to go shopping together one of these days!!!! Esther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted July 7, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hi Jane:) I have to tell you, this is one of the prettiest purchases I have yet to make...I am so glad I bought it. The color is just wonderful:) This is off topic a bit......but I am watching the news and for all our "UK FRIENDS"........my hearts go out. Anyone see the news? Bombings in London's subway system........:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lszu Posted July 7, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted July 7, 2005 HappyKS - Yes, that's it! Wasn't sure of my size so I ordered the red in small and the blue in a medium. I'd be happy with either color, so it'll come down to what fits better. Yeah, I checked about returning. They seem to be as easygoing as QVC on that. Lois - Nope, no Dillard's here. I did see a couple of pretty ones at Chadwicks.com, too, but decided to try this one. If I don't like it I can always send it back. It's worth a shot for $33! Your find sounds great. I've been moving away from black, too. Wonder if there's a dillards.com...off to check. All - Adding my prayers to Lois' for London. What a shame. Not sure what's gone wrong with the world.

Ehpride Posted July 7, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Do you have a JC Penney's near you? I'm not sure if they're just a midwestern store or not. If you do, they usually have a pretty good selection of Prom and Formal dresses. I'm going to check there for a silver shawl for my dress. I just saw about the London bombings this morning. How scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
