geocruiser Posted April 28, 2017 #1501 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's our friend 's parents 70 Wedding Anniversary. He invited families and friends from around the world, 500 of them. He hired the famous Chinese Acrobats, singers, magic and all kind of entertainments. We were in Las Vegas with them last week. He told me to wear whatever I want. My husband must wear a tuxedo thou. I have many dress and gowns that would be fine with the event. But because it's his parents celebration, I thought I would dress more conservative that's all. M Sent from my iPad using Forums Marie, Either dress would be wonderful to wear. You have the most beautiful taste in clothing. I wish that I had your sense of style.

lee150 Posted April 28, 2017 #1502 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Marie, Another gown that is perfect for your big event in Bali. Like others have said and I agree, the black and white is very classy looking and you will wear it very well! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthopper101 Posted April 28, 2017 #1503 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Thank you, Ladies. The gowns came. I like the black and white. I'm not sure about the red, I like the color, but not the style. I'm going to take it to my tailor to see what she can do. M Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthopper101 Posted April 29, 2017 #1505 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Both gowns are going back. I don't like the necklace on the black and white. The red is not me. As always I prefer form fitting. We don't have to be in Bali until June the 25t. I will be in Paris next month then New York early June for the Belmont. I will shop in both place then. Good night... sweet dreams Marie Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXNewlyweds Posted May 10, 2017 #1506 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi all, I don't have any pictures to share as I'm searching for 2 outfits for our upcoming cruise formal nights. We sail in 17 days so time is getting short! I'm struggling with fit. I'm longer than average from my shoulders to waist, so anything with a waist seam doesn't seam to fit properly. In addition my actual rib cage is large so even if I can handle the seam being above my waist, if it fits around me I look like a rectangle... no curve at all! My questions to you wonderful ladies are does anyone else struggle with this and if so can you suggest brands or places to shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My questions to you wonderful ladies are does anyone else struggle with this and if so can you suggest brands or places to shop? I'm short in the torso, but I would suggest separates. Try to find a couple dressy tops to pair with a skirt or pants. Swing dresses might be nice if you could find the style. No waist and would flow over your ribcage.

Swing dresses might be nice if you could find the style. No waist and would flow over your ribcage. Maybe we could "average out". I've been looking for separates but they seem to fall in 2 categories -- either much too young (midriff baring prom dresses) or a bit too mature. Just saw this online at Chicos... might have to go check it out. https://www.chicos.com/store/product/sequin-coldshoulder-dress/570205528?color=982&catId=cat500023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXNewlyweds Posted May 11, 2017 #1510 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Great pictures! Which ship were you on? I did end up finding two dresses today. Oddly enough both the same designer. http://www.dillards.com/p/nicole-miller-new-york-strapless-floral-gown/506782917?di=04913344_zi_multi&categoryId=-10005&facetCache=pageSize%3D48%26beginIndex%3D0%26orderBy%3D1%26facet%3D-10027810599111108101327710510810810111432781011193289111114107 I figure this one is perfect for that 2nd formal night after a few days of cruise food and drinks ;-) The other is a sequin midi length tank dress - blue to silver ombré. Of corse that means my gold scrappy sandals won't work, so had to find a pair of silver ones.... And need to find a necklace for the strapless one. Will try to add real pics soon.

awhfy Posted May 11, 2017 #1511 Share Posted May 11, 2017 TXNewlyweds. We were on Royal's Liberty out of Galveston. I, personally, wouldn't put a necklace with that gorgeous strapless dress, I'd do some crystal chandelier earrings instead. I might have to find that dress for our November cruise, or our March cruise to Cuba... Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Averaging out would be awesome. Now I just have to decide it I want the extra height below the waist to make my breasts higher above my waist or I could put it above the breasts and be able to wear bigger necklaces without them hiding in cleavage. Tough decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishLassie Posted June 8, 2017 #1519 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Just got this dress at Dillards & it was on sale. I paid $46. including tax! Fits beautifully & is so comfortable. Will have to have it hemmed, but at that price couldn't pass it up. Didn't really need it but just loved it! Back of the dress!

Porthopper101 Posted June 9, 2017 #1521 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Marie, you look beautiful. Thank you, ladies. We are in New York for the Belmont Race on Saturday. This morning we left the house with out my hat. We live only 15 minutes from LAX, but didn't want to take a chance to go back to get it, sometime the traffic is really bad. I guess I have to go to Saks tomorrow to buy one. My daughter, her boyfriend and three of my friends are here as well. My husband think they are here for the race. They are actually here to celebrate his birthday on Sunday. He is in for a surprise because three of the ladies from lady year cruise will be at the dinner as well. Judy! Your new dress [emoji156] is pretty. Nite nite ladies. Marie Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
