KCcruisin07 Posted May 26, 2009 #27 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think this is an excellent idea, not just for people who have lost weight, but who have clothes that they no longer wear. For your first cruise it is hard to find something for formal night(s), and with the economy being off, this is really timely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisysheridan Posted June 23, 2009 #29 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This is kind of a general post to all the ladies with those very nice gowns you no longer wear.... It's probalby too late this year but next year check with your local school boards about donating your gowns to the high schools for PROM DRESSES. A few moms in the area started that with their daughters previous prom dresses and bridesmaid dresses and gowns that they no longer wore. This thing has grown to a pretty big operation. They don't charge anything to the girls, just ask for donations to cover costs, if they like.. A nice way to recycle and let some young ladies be a Princess at the ball... What a great idea!

Porthopper2009 Posted June 23, 2009 #31 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi Ladies, I am too lazy to take a picture of the dress by itself. So I am going to model it :D. Some of the dresses have been altered for me. I am 5'6", 34DD, 26, 36. The long, blue formal I love it. But the seamstress cut it too short for me.

They are all very nice! I imagine they won't last long on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biziasabee Posted June 25, 2009 #34 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I am going on my first cruise at the end of August for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. My problem is I have no formal wear. I would love it if someone could donate a dress or two for me, after the cruise I would be more than happy to post it back on this forum. I am 5'10" and size 14. Thanks in advance!

starlake Posted June 27, 2009 #35 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Cruise Dancer, I think this is a great thing that you started. I think it will help lots of people. As soon as I saw your screen name, I had to see what was going on. I think I have at least 2 dresses that I have never worn. So I will get them on here and see if anyone would like them. See you in November. Patti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biziasabee Posted June 28, 2009 #38 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Cruise Dancer, thank you so much for the offer but I think the dress will be too short for me. Since this will be my first cruise I really want to dress up for formal night but money is tight, still hoping someone may see this who is around my height and size. Thanks again for the offer, I love this forum. There is so much great info and wonderful people here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WouldBeCruiser Posted July 4, 2009 #45 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) What a great idea this is. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of all the pretty dresses being "recycled". Such generous ladies too! I lost quite a lot of weight over the last two years (finally) and needed a whole new wardrobe. I ended up at a couple of consignment stores in our city because there was just no way that I could afford to buy everything new. I got some great "new to me" outfits, and passed all my larger sized clothes to a local charity shop. I had some lovely formal dresses for special occasions - but wasn't a cruisecritic member at the time, so sadly they are gone. Next time I'll know where to post these items.

magandab Posted July 15, 2009 #48 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Anyone interested in an outfit that is not a formal, but would be great for casual or even smart casual evenings, or just wearing on a cruise? I have a Carole Little pants outfit that would be perfect for someone out there. Size 10. 100% rayon crepe. My photo editing program is not working so I'll post a photo later today from work.

comoxvalley21 Posted July 18, 2009 #50 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi Moira, The dresses are packed, I will send them on Monday. I will email you later. Have a wonderful weekend. Marie Hi Marie Thank you Thank You The dresses arrived today and I'm just thrilled. They fit....although I need my "industrial strength" underwear. So it's back to the gym for me to get rid of that pesky couple of pounds. The dresses are lovely and I want to do them justice. I've sent on a money order for the cost of the postage. Thank you again! Cheers Moira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
