Serendipity50 Posted August 25, 2006 #27 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hi, I think the second one is very nice, but it does not have the 'wow' factor of the drop dead gorgeous black one. Hope you find one and look forward to seeing a photo. I would love to wear a dress like that!!! Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to wear a dress like that!!! Jean It's interesting how we do see things differently. The first dress is absolutely gorgeous, in a Princess sort of way to me. The second dress WOW, gorgeous and sexy! Either would be a great choice and knock the DH's eyes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted August 25, 2006 #29 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Voila. Alass they only have a size 12 available. However, I have found another design in the correct size for me. What do you think! I know it is totally different from the original, but I feel just as glamorous. Make sure of the size before you order, a European size 12 is a US size 10, I believe. Before you purchase, check the measurements carefully. I had a problem getting a shipment from the UK once, it took 5 months, but I think it was the sellers fault. Just be sure to email your seller, let them know you need the dress pronto and that you are paying enough for shipping. Of course, all this info is worthless if you are from the UK, I could not tell from your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted August 25, 2006 #30 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I think the second dress is very busy so please avoid what is happening in the photo: Too Much. Unless you are a debutante at a deb ball or meeting the queen, skip the gloves. With the second dress do sleek hair and minimal jewelry (sparkly hoops but not chandeliers) or you'll look like a party favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911medic Posted August 25, 2006 #31 Share Posted August 25, 2006 oh wow...the first dress is beautiful. i would wait and see if it gets reposted in your size. that person can't be the only one who sells that maker. i'm not such a fan of the second dress, but it's your opinion that matters.

melissa76 Posted August 25, 2006 #32 Share Posted August 25, 2006 HI there, Another vote for the second dress. I LOVE the second dress. I love the colors (champagne & black) and the shape...Very sexy!! The first dress is just OK to me. Lots of people here seem to love it though. I hope you love whichever one you wind up with!

RI-Sailor Posted August 25, 2006 #33 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Frankly, I like the gloves with the second dress. To me, it evokes a by-gone era in style (1940's???) when gloves would have been worn. But I agree with keeping everything else simple. I like the ballgown style better, but that's me. My theory on skirts since I was a child is the longer and fuller the better!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pointed this out several threads ago but I don't think anyone noticed. The first dress was re-listed!!! The original poster hasn't been around in a while so I don't think she knows her beautiful dress is still available! I hope she sees this soon! The new auction for her dress ends on August 30th!

Nliedel Posted August 26, 2006 #35 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I've had sellers on E-bay do that to me too. I was heartbroken. I like the second dress a lot. I might find another seller. The first seller seems a tad unfocused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellie1964 Posted August 29, 2006 Author #36 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi Everyone I have just returned from a short vacation. Thank you for your positive comments on both dresses. The black ball gown dress has been relisted but in the wrong size:( The champayne and black dress they do have in my size; but I think I may be a little bit vertically challenged to carry it off; I am only 5ft 3inchs IN high heels:rolleyes: I think I will carry on perusing for a black ball gowny dress; It has been my dream to wear a dress like that. And where else could I wear one but on the QM2. Thanks To You All Again. Shellie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had a few "similar" style dresses in the formal gown section this summer. Hope you find the dress of your dreams. I love the style and the elegance of it.

Shellie1964 Posted August 29, 2006 Author #38 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi MilliesMom I have not heard of Dillards before; Does Dillards have a web site? I have googled Dillards and nothing came up. Shellie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehpride Posted August 29, 2006 #41 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I got both my formals there for $10 each. Some of their stuff is on the expensive side but if you're patient and not too picky, you can find pretty good deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
