burm Posted July 17, 2012 #1276 Share Posted July 17, 2012 [quote name='lee150']Hi Marie, My Badgley Mischka gown arrived this morning and it is gorgeous!!! Thank you so very much! I will be sending you a check tomorrow. Take Care, Cathy[/quote] Does your new gown fit well? I look at Marie's gorgeous gowns and think that I really should lose a few pounds. Reconstructive surgery and growth hormones might also help. :p And to think that only a few short years ago (perhaps 5), I would have had a size 8 taken in. Sigh.

Sigh.[/quote] Hi Berm, To answer your question, yes and no. The hemline is just perfect and the hip area is fitting pretty well for a size 8. I normally wear a size 4-6 and sometime a small 8. This is a very small 8. My only problem is I'm not as full-busted as Marie [IMG]http://boards.cruisecritic.com/images/icons/icon9.gif[/IMG]so will have wear a more padded up-lifting bra to give me a more of a hour glass figure in the gown. I might add that this is my first gown from Marie and I am very happy with it![IMG]http://boards.cruisecritic.com/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG] Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I was still hungry so had trifle for dessert - it may be awhile before I can get back into a size 8 from my current 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to keep telling myself moderation is the only way you can control the cravings. Take care, Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthopper101 Posted July 19, 2012 #1280 Share Posted July 19, 2012 [quote name='ozgeordielass']Marie, I have enjoyed looking at all your cruise photos, you and your husband make a very handsom couple. You are very elegant and show off your beautiful gowns to perfection. I am hoping you get well soon, you have been through such a lot and hope when you get back on your feet you will enjoy your next cruise. I am looking forward to our first cruise next year from Melbourne to New Zealand 13 nights. This will be a first break for me since my husbands stroke over 5 years ago, was not sure if it would work for us as he is wheelchair bound, paralysed on his right side and has speech problems but we are going to give it a go. We are pensions and I did not have any formal wear so went to a charity shop and bought a few dresses and hoping they will be ok for the formal nights. This group is amazing donating their gowns. I have loved looking at all the photos of the members cruises. ozgeordielass/Doreen[/quote] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]Thank you Doreen. I am sorry about your husband. It is a life-changing event. I am glad you and your husband are going on a cruise. Will you be going on Cunard? I do not come here very often, if you wish you can email, I promise I will response.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]Best regards.[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]Marie[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozgeordielass Posted July 19, 2012 #1286 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hi Marie, Thank you for replying. We are going on the Dawn Princess as not ships many sail from Melbourne and as we don't want to fly it is easier for us as this is the first time travelling since hubby's stroke. We are taking it one day at a time since his stroke, I have been reading a lot of the posts here in CruiseCritic to make sure I have everything covered for our cruise and I have learned so much. Hope you get your cast off soon and not in too much pain. Regards Doreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthopper101 Posted July 21, 2012 #1298 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hello ladies, I sent 14 packages last week. I would appreciate if you could let me know when you received your package. In the past, there were few of you who never bother to let me know. In order for other people to get a chance to receive my things, please do not ask for more than one item. Thank you. This is size medium Tadashi. I wore it one. This is also size medium BCBG. Wore it one. I hate to let these shoes go; they are my fave. My feet are no longer able to wear them :(. They are size 8 1/2 Christian Louboutin. I am running late for a birthday party. I will respond to your email later on today. g2liv0702@yahoo.com Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
