WeirdEyes Posted April 13, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I'm returning the fly-away pants (or palazzos) due to them making me look bigger than I am. Here's a link to the new dress I ordered. DH really likes it...or maybe he just likes the model.

Rare Lois R Posted April 13, 2004 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Sheila...it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!....you will ALL the eyes on you Question....when wearing a dress like that, do you wear a strapless bra? I don't own one...but that dress...makes me think I should try something like it...I can't recall owning one..(that type of dress or a strappless bra). Next up...HORIZON Sept 18th to Bermuda!

nyer Posted April 13, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Shelia...that dress is beautiful. You will knock their socks off!! Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted April 13, 2004 Author #5 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Thanks, all! I just hope it fits. I do love it though. Yes, I will wear a strapless bra with it. I have two kinds: one with a back & one without. One of them should work because I actually have no idea what the back of the dress looks like. I wanted a purple dress and I love the color of it. <font color="#0000CC" face="Lydian Csv BT" size="4">~~Shelia~~</font></p> Sailing the Mariner in....... <font color="#003399" face="Benguiat Bk BT">Carnival Destiny 2002</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyB Posted April 13, 2004 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Shelia, Its lovely! I love fitted dresses which show off your curves. Very nice!!! What shoes and accesories will you wear. I would wear a transparent strap bra with this, I doubt if you would see the straps with this dress rather than a strapless one. Just MHO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lszu Posted April 13, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Wow! Love, love, love it. I'd go with the clear strap bra, too. Probably just because I'm always afraid a strapless is going to fall down and become a belt! lszu Sovereign 7/99 Monarch 7/00 Vision 9/01 Voyager 9/02 Adventure 9/03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted April 13, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Well, I'm in luck! My strapless bra has clear straps you can add to it. Not sure what kind of accessories yet...waiting until the dress actually arrives so I can see the detailing better. I have some gold strappy sandals for my red formal. I hope I can wear them with my new formal also. We'll see how it looks. I bought some princess cut diamonique dangle earrings on QVC a couple of weeks ago and I will wear them. I've never bought any "fake" diamonds before. I held them up to my real diamonds and I can't tell the difference. The earrings are gorgeous! <font color="#0000CC" face="Lydian Csv BT" size="4">~~Shelia~~</font></p> Sailing the Mariner in....... <font color="#003399" face="Benguiat Bk BT">Carnival Destiny 2002</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirdEyes Posted April 13, 2004 Author #12 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Lois, I KNEW that you probably had some diamonique since you are such an avid QVC shopper. <font color="#0000CC" face="Lydian Csv BT" size="4">~~Shelia~~</font></p> Sailing the Mariner in....... <font color="#003399" face="Benguiat Bk BT">Carnival Destiny 2002</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinsel57 Posted April 13, 2004 #13 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Buying formals is addictive ! So many beautiful gowns... so little time to wear them, but Oh, well! Looks like that means more cruises to be booked. What a wonderful site. Thank you for that! I see several I would just love to own! tinsel57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L11 Posted April 13, 2004 #14 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Sheila, what a grat dress. AND a great price!

WeirdEyes Posted April 13, 2004 Author #15 Share Posted April 13, 2004 PattiG, thanks for the compliment. Tinsel57, I found the link to this great site on this board! You can find all sorts of great info here..right girls?! The prices on this site are great! I found a dress at Stein Mart that wasn't half as pretty as the one I ordered and it cost $10 more, plus 10% sales tax. <font color="#0000CC" face="Lydian Csv BT" size="4">~~Shelia~~</font></p> Sailing the Mariner in....... <font color="#003399" face="Benguiat Bk BT">Carnival Destiny 2002</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevoli Posted April 13, 2004 #16 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I don't know about the clear plastic straps on bras. If you have a regular strapless bra, use that instead. The straps may be clear plastic, but you can still spot them a mile away, and I shudder to think how they'd look in a photograph with the flash gleaming off of them.

Jane110 Posted April 14, 2004 #20 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Trevoli, I agree with you. Those clear strapped bra's can easily be seen and might ruin Sheila's lovely formal photo. The clear straps are cute as a " fun fashion look" under a tank top during the day with jeans. They're not for formals. Just my $.02 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirdEyes Posted April 14, 2004 Author #21 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Thanks for the comments on the dress. I just got notification that it shipped yesterday. I can't WAIT to try it on. Of course, I'll post pictures after the cruise. About the strapless bra/clear straps issue...I think I'll just wear the strapless bra. It is a Victoria's Secret and it really holds me up. I've never had a strapless that give so much support. However, I have no idea what the back of the dress looks like. If it is cut lower in the back, I will have to wear my backless, strapless bra. <font color="#0000CC" face="Lydian Csv BT" size="4">~~Shelia~~</font></p> Sailing the Mariner in....... <font color="#003399" face="Benguiat Bk BT">Carnival Destiny 2002</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
