Post a Picture of Your Dress (Part 3)

[Chocolate Rose]

Where do you ladies find beautiful tops? I won't be taking any dresses, but would still like to have something pretty to wear. I ordered a couple of pairs of palazzo pants (recommended by a friend who cruises a lot). But, I'm not finding any "fancy" tops to go with them.

I am so sorry I just can not figure out how to upload a picture here , i hosted it on imgur ! anyways Ill figure it out sorry

This was at port in Catalina Island ! Such a great place and weather. Ok ok so the picture is more about the purse than the dress but still it was perfect for the occasion I even made it myself believe it or not

If you have a flickr account, it's quite easy to upload here and should be no problem.

Would like to see specific things you took on a cruise since the instagram link looks more like advertising.

When you get my age, showing your mid drift isn't flattering anymore. I am slim, but this is definitely made for the younger crowd.

[CupcakeSusie]

I don't think I'm old (not quite 40) and I'm slim but I had to abandon bikinis and midriff stuff after my first baby. I got stretch marks :(

[CupcakeSusie]

Don't get me wrong! The baby (now a teenager) was worth it!!

Just got this little number last night for ours in a few months. It is ridiculously flattering on almost any figure! Yay for JCPenny!

bcberri, that's a lovely dress!

 

 

Thanks! I'm hoping to pair it with some nice bold red accessories. Of course that means new shoes! (I could hear my hubby groaning at that. )

I sent this back. It was too short. However, I bought this instead. I think I have a dress problem!

 

Very pretty!!

 

Is this by any chance an Adrianna Papell dress? Though the fabric is different, the cut is almost identical to one I have by her.

This came the other day & it fit's perfect! Only about 1" shows of my middle, so I'm very happy with it. Not sure when I'll wear it but glad I bought it! :D

It is beautiful. You can even wear it with different colored tops, maybe green, white?.

[SeagoingMom]

Yes it is. I received it, had it dry cleaned and now I don't even know if I like it. It pooches oddly at my abdomen. I can't begin to describe how it drapes on me. I should take a picture and show you what I mean.

Well, I am sorry to hear that, as it is such a pretty dress. But of course, sometimes the cut is just not made for one's body proportions. I do remember doing some extensive altering of my beloved A.P. dress, but it was at the time I bought it at least one size too big, so I had some leeway to tailor it. (Now years have gone by, and I have had to let the tailoring out! :eek:)

Won't you lose the effect of the bare midriff look and if it's only an inch, won't it look like you're just wearing a top that is too short?

Thanks for the great idea! :D Never would have thought of that.

Hello all!

 

I have enjoyed looking through several pages of posts and seeing your lovely dresses!

 

I'm on the fence with wearing this first dress for a formal night. DH says he thinks it's okay, but I'm not sure. The second dress is the one I'll likely wear on the 1st formal night. I have it from my DD's wedding and would love to wear it again!

 

Thoughts?

I like both dresses. For the first formal night I would go with the second dress (full length). I think that it is more formal than the other. The top dress is very pretty, but not a true formal to me. I think it could be worn on the second formal with a shoe that is not as heavy looking. Maybe a shoe with straps?

[cruzisme]

For first formal night the long dress would be lovely. Agree that second dress with different shoe would be appropriate. Silver or other thin strappy shoe?

[luvsun22]

Thanks for your thoughts! I'd definitely be wearing different shoes, that pic is the from the Macy's website, I don't even own shoes like that? 😀

I absolutely love the first dress....it will be perfect for the second dress-up evening.

I wish the CC site had a 'like' button as FB does for all the lovely dresses I have seen posted. It makes me want to go dress shopping again, but I definitely do not need another dress. Sigh***

[hi2you]

When I get the posting figured out I may post a pic of my dress. All I keep getting are codes appearing where the pic should be.

Hi,

Here are the dresses I wore from my last cruise, on Anthem of the Seas

The blue one was Maggy London, and the red one was Betsey Johnson.

One of the things I like about cruising is wearing these nice dresses

:)

I love both dresses. The colors look beautiful on you.

In my opinion, there is nothing remotely "formal" about dress #1. I see it as a sun dress/garden party dress. The second dress however, is what I think of "formal."

 

That being said, wear either one! Wear both! No one will think you are under-dressed for either formal night in either dress. That is the beauty of modern cruising -- really, as long as you "clean up," you'll be fine! In either dress, you will look much better than many of your fellow cruisers! (Except, perhaps on Cunard? I think the first dress would not fly as "formal" on Cunard...)

 

Happy cruising!

I just bought this dress on Ebay... my husband are going to wear his black tuxedo with white shirt... we will be a perfect black and white match
