Anita Latte Posted November 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Here's the thing about formal nights...the answer to your question is yes, the dress is appropriate and yes, you MIGHT feel overdressed. Where are you cruising? Some itineraries tend to be more dressed up or more casual than others. Longer itineraries tend to be more dressed up than shorter ones. If you share your itinerary, you'll get more applicable feedback. Regardless, beautiful dress and I would love to wear it on formal on a cruise. Nice choice.

OCruisers Posted November 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Yes, it would be fine to wear for Formal Nights. Most won't be as dresses as you ... but some others will be. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popmaw Posted November 21, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Beautiful dress. If you love it and feel comfortable in it, then yes wear it. I think better to be over dressed than under dressed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted November 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I was actually surprised that there were a number of people dressed in formal wear on the RCI cruise I took. I often wear formal wear on a cruise even when it is not formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie S. Posted November 21, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Beautiful dress, I certainly would wear it, especially on a formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HangryGrl Posted November 22, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks for the responses! As someone had asked, I will be on a 9 night Southern Caribbean itinerary. We have been on Royal before but skipped formal nights. I think I will take the chance and get it. :) I agree that it is better to be over dressed than under dressed in most situations.

Rare Acrusa Posted November 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Dress is beautiful but it looks totally see through. What will you be wearing underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HangryGrl Posted November 22, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted November 22, 2017 There is a slip liner underneath. You can see it comes to just above mid thigh on the model. Thankfully I am probably at least 4 inches shorter than she is so it should come down a few inches above my knees according to the description(measurement) on the web site.

MrsPete Posted November 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Beautiful color, love the top half, but the lower half is too "showy". You would not be over-dressed with this dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maphalverson Posted December 3, 2017 #19 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have to laugh. I thought you asked if you’d be underdressed, not overdressed. I’ve seen overdressed, underdressed. Be you and have fun with it. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sprint180 Posted December 3, 2017 #20 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just off Allure in the Caribbean. For formal night it would be just fine. There were people Fancy dresses down to shorts. You will look wonderful. I just had on a nice black and white dressy shirt and white capris (that's as fancy as I own) and it was fine too.

Rare HangryGrl Posted December 6, 2017 Author #21 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I finally received the dress and have come back with an update! :) Pros: The color of the dress is just as pictured and is stunning. It was the main reason I was drawn to the dress and I was somewhat concerned it wouldn't live up to expectations but it has! The length of the slip dress underneath is plenty long on me. I know a few voiced concerns that it would be too short but since I am also short (5'4") I wasn't too worried. The slip dress underneath comes down to about 1-1.5 inches above my knees which I think is fine. The dress was not at all wrinkled when I received it so I think it would pack well. Cons: The dress is pretty but doesn't have as much shape as I was hoping. I am in the process of deciding whether I just need a smaller size or if it just isn't suited for my body type. I have seen it referred to as athletic, banana or rectangle body type which basically means I am a straight line don't have a lot of definition anywhere (chest, waist or hips). The dress does drop a lot of glitter wherever it goes. Another consideration to sending it back since it would need to be packed in with other clothes. In all it is a very pretty dress and I am on the fence at the moment whether to just return it or to try a smaller size. :) I know someone asked where I got it so I will post the link below and hope that is not against any rules! ;) https://www.venus.com/viewproduct.aspx?BRANCH=7~72~5825~&ProductDisplayID=37698 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you wore it...lovely dress. Some dress up extra, some don't...variety on a cruise. You have to choose. It's your life...wear what you want...don't save it for another day, or a someday day.

luvscruising2007 Posted December 13, 2017 #24 Share Posted December 13, 2017 To help the glitter situation I would try covering with a dry cleaners bag when packing. The glitter would be contained in the bag and not get on your other clothes. I would try tying the bag at the bottom so the glitter can't escape. Also our dry cleaners offers two different sizes so I would opt for the longer size. Good luck. The dress is lovely and I hope you can keep it and wear it.

ger_77 Posted December 14, 2017 #25 Share Posted December 14, 2017 To help shed the excess glitter, put the dress in an old pillow case, tying the case closed either with string, or by tying a knot in the end. Toss the pillow case in the dryer on Fluff no heat cycle for about 10 minutes. Remove your dress and the excess glitter will be in the pillow case. Smooth Sailing!
