kimi377 Posted December 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Getting ready for our first cruise and would love to hear your recommendations on favorite places to buy cute and/or functional casual and dressy clothes for your cruise. Sundresses, etc....I have plenty of shorts/shirts. I'm on a budget, so the cheaper, the better! I'm not a tiny person, but I'm not huge either. I'm a middle-aged mom with a muffin top, so maybe I'll stay away from places like Forever 21 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkacmom Posted December 28, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I buy a lot from old navy, returns mail free, and it’s very inexpensive. The quality is crap, I just wash a lot of it cold/delicate, and hang dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted December 28, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 28, 2017 My wife finds cheap ones at Kohls and online. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kartgv Posted December 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Lots of places, but much depends on your age. Most large department stores now carry resort style clothing even in winter as do the big online sites like Amazon. You should also look at Bealls (online, based in Florida) and Chico stores or online for that 'casual elegant' look that works so well for what passes for formal these days. For good quality and basic 'mix & match' travel clothing (no wrinkles, easy wash), check Travelsmith, but their items can be a little expensive.

Flatbush Flyer Posted December 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Don't shop much for women's clothes but, I do know that Nordstrom's will match any advertised price (and their "Rack" stores are loaded with bargains on high end stuff).

salvagegirl Posted December 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I am a fluffy woman who is older but not that old yet. Anyways i find some good deals at kohls , belk, marshalls, ross and dress barn. Also old navy online to me has better fluffy clothes than in the store , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I wanted to mention that Cruise Critic has a Cruise Fashions and Beauty Board so while you will get answers here I would also recommend posting this question on that board. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=182 Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 28, 2017 You really won't need many dressy items...cruises have become MUCH more casual. Capris (on warm weather cruises) is what the majority of women wear in the evening, with a cute top. Any dept. stores will have what you're looking for...as might Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Ross, Steinmart......if you're looking for discounted items!

wowzz Posted December 29, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 29, 2017 You should go to Primark. Probably the best clothes shop in the world. Sent from my XT1032 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilot123texas Posted December 29, 2017 #12 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I never see this mentioned, but I have found great deals at Black and White. Steinmart generally has a collection of dressier pants and skirts that you can pair with a variety of tops. Now is a good time to pick up cocktail attire as all the department stores, like Macy's, Nordstrom's, etc., are clearing out their holiday clothes.

I have picked up bargains galore at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haladdict Posted December 29, 2017 #14 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It's a great time for sales, nearly everywhere. Just look for the clearance rack for the cheapest stuff. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
