Post a Picture of Your Dress (Part 2)

[geocruiser]

This is their 3rd cruise but 1st time for big fancy dress. They arrived today and the girls are so excited! One is a real tomboy type so this is surprising me. She had me braid her hair and put pretties in it when she tried the dress on for Daddy. What do you think? The girls are 10 and 12 and growing up fast...

 

I really like the dresses. Your daughters are going to look like two Princesses in them.

Beautiful dresses :-) they will feel like princesses :-)

This is a photo of my daughter when she was 11. She enjoyed dressing up at the time. Now she's going through her punk/grunge stage. I hope by the time we cruise next year she will be over it so I can get a nice formal family photo without pink hair and doc martin boots.

I live on Roatan 1/2 the year so Jams World fit my life perfectly!

They are the perfect island wear~easy wash, no iron and easy, breezy:) I fell in love with the line about 20 yrs. ago on Anguilla and have been collecting them ever since!

 

 

hotcarib,

Next time you are on Roatan please tell Debbie and Bob at Made in Roatan "Hi" from Tom and Gerry from Yuma. Thanks

Have a great day,

Gerry

I love to see young people dress up in their best. Too few chances to do that these days. Cruising is a great reason to get all dolled up.

Love the tween dresses! It's so fun for young girls to dress up, experiment with heels and makeup:). Cruise is the perfect place to try on your 'almost adult' persona

[hotcarib]

Possible dresses:

Orange is Trina Turk, green is Ralph Lauren Black, shoes Charles David

Both those dresses are making me feel very tropical and it is 25 F. outside!

The phase will pass! Lived thru it with 2 stepdaughters!

Both dresses are very pretty, and I so like the shoes !!!

I've been dress hunting for a few weeks now, for my upcoming cruise, but I did not find anything that I liked or that fit me.

 

I always wanted to try and wear a long and princessy dress, so I ordered one on internet, that would be custom made because i'm 5 feet tall so all dresses are too long for me.

 

And... I received it today ! So I tried it on, so I'll post a picture for you all to see the result of my shopping. It feels strange to me as I never wore this long a dress.

 

It might be a little large around the bust, but I'm still happy with the dress, I like the color of it. I intend to wear it for the 1st formal night on my upcoming cruise on the Allure of the Seas.

 

I will wear a green pendant from Swarovski, with matching earrings to go with it. I do not know what to do with my hair though, I never know how to style it.

 

So this baby will be in my suitcase in less than 2 weeks, en route to Fort Lauderdale !! can't wait...

I hope to find some nice dresses in Fort Lauderdale also...

So what do you think ? Will it be ok ?

Any advice for the hairstyle, or for a purse ?

[Scrapnana]

I think the dress is great and it looks like it fits you very well. I would carry a sparkly silver bag. I will leave the hair suggestions to someone else - I'm useless in that area.

Love the bodice and the drape of the skirt!!! Very pretty. I think a loose wave would be lovely on you. As for a purse I'd go for a small metallic envelope

I am so jealous! Roatan was a stop on our honeymoon cruise. We can't wait to go back! Beautiful snorkeling. Super friendly people. While you're handing out "hellos," say one from Bob and Judy in Atlanta to Ezera, our favorite (and imho cutest :eek:) Grand Roatan Beach Resort bartender!

[hotcarib]

Hey everyone,

Thanks! You made me feel more confident about wearing those dresses!!!:):)

[logan25]

My choice would be earrings but no pendant. I think the neckline is eye catching enough that any necklace would compete.

ITA, a pendant would detract from the neckline (IMO)

You could do some sparkly bobby pins in your hair

[Allis154]

I would agree on the pendant...perhaps a choker...or just great earrings.

[luvscruising2007]

Your dress is very pretty and appropriate for an RC cruise.

No suggestion for a purse, but if you want to do something different with your hair you could put in an up-do or maybe just a pollyanna.

You will be lovely no matter what you choose. Enjoy!

Keep or return? This is the Tracy Reese dress; not entirely pleased, but sort of loving the Boho vibe:

Thoughts? Shoes? I like the Miu Miu flower shoes best

[Princessmich]

I vote to keep! Really love the print and drop of the dress...the shoes I really love those Miu Miu or the second ones from the right..jmho...:)

Thank you! I appreciate any input:):)

I think I've said I'm having a difficult time with this age thing and dressing nicely, but appropriately...VEXING!!!!
