Beyondthe7Seas Posted February 21, 2013 #2010 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Here is another dress: This is a size 16, never worn. As a matter of fact, the tags may still be on it, but I'm not positive. Once again, my email is laurspag at hotmail dot com. It is soooo cute on! My problem is the neckline area. It's kind of embarassing to say, but I'm lopsided up on top, so the dress lays funny. I have to be very careful with the top part of any dress on me. It kills me that I missed this dress-- so beautiful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjankowski Posted February 27, 2013 #2012 Share Posted February 27, 2013 It kills me that I missed this dress-- so beautiful :) Oh my gosh - After seeing this today - totally remined me I need to send out my postage check. Dang I forgot :( But on a lighter side - after my cruise I will post this up for someone else to share. Please stay tuned. Thanks and have a great day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcjr98 Posted February 27, 2013 #2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I would love this dress. I have a son getting married this fall and this dress would be perfect! I don't see an email address for you. Can you email me at dmets_garden@yahoo.ca please? If you decide to pass this dress on after the wedding, I'd like first dibs! My stepdaughter just got engaged, but no date set yet! It is a beautiful dress for a wedding!! Be sure to post your picture wearing it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammyceej Posted February 28, 2013 #2014 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Can someone please tell me how this works. Looks like these are items we are recycling to other cruisers just for the cost of shipping right? I live in Canada so shipping to the US or other countries can get expensive. Are there any ladies here that would be interested in dresses in a size 26W or 28W? I've recently lost 87 pounds and still working on it, am down to a size 18W so certainly have no use for the larger clothing any more. If there are interested ladies I'll happily post some pictures.

Congratulations on the weight loss! :D Basically you just post a picture of the dress and it's size, along with your email address. I have recycled many of my cocktail dresses and gowns (like 14 total). Two of them I have sent to Canada and one to Australia. I think it cost around $25-30 USD for those shipments. That is still a lot less expensive than buying gowns. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct in your thinking about the postage. If someone is interested, they would gladly pay the postage. If you have any size 20-22 I have a friend that would be interested.....Thanks....and congrats on the weight loss, that is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is very beautiful. :) Fyree39 decided to keep it and get it altered for herself so I don't have it. I am going shopping on Saturday with my DD to see if I can find something like it.

I'm 51, and am having a hard time finding something that doesn't make me look like an old lady trying to look young!! I am 55 and could care less about what people thinks. If I think it looks good and I get compliments, who cares if it makes me look like I am 45.....age is just a number and unless you are a really wrinkled up "old" woman and your age really shows, go for it.....you are only as old as you feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magandab Posted March 6, 2013 #2023 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Okay this is a little off the recycled clothes subject, but I do want to recycle this if possible. I do quite a few online surveys and recently I was sent a bottle of Chanel Vitalumiere fluid makeup in No. 07 Ivory. It has a pump dispenser so the contents are untouched. I tested this and used exactly four pumps. It's just not my thing and I sure won't trade my Bare Minerals for it! Anyway it sells for $55 and I don't want to just throw it away or store it until it gets funky and then throw it away! :D Anyone want it? magandab at aol dot com Edited March 6, 2013 by magandab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted March 8, 2013 #2024 Share Posted March 8, 2013 FYI the makeup is light, but not as light as the photo shows. I got that from a website as my photo didn't work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 58 and if I do say so myself, I look good for my age. I do have a lot of aches and pains, but looking at me, you would never know it...tee hee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
