This is what I just ordered... Lisa I absolutely love this dress!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmares1968 Posted March 24, 2014 #4905 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I tried to stay away from Black, I just couldn't do it. But I think this dress is formal enough and elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GolfMom321 Posted March 25, 2014 #4909 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just how dressy do the formal nights get? We're doing an 11 night Northern Europe and Russia on Princess in July. Do I go long, short, what? I prefer long, as it hides "a multitude of sins", as my aunt used to say. I could go with ballet length. I love the ball gown style, but is that too much? I'm not talking Cinderella, BTW--I'm 53!! Any suggestions are much appreciated. Fashion has never been my strong point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gold dress is from Coldwater Creek and should arrive at the house tomorrow. Unfortunately, I don't arrive at the house until Thursday night. Trying to decide if I should take a 3 hour detour and swing by the house Wednesday evening on my way to Chattanooga. I think I will wait until Thursday.

Princessmich Posted March 25, 2014 #4911 Share Posted March 25, 2014 In my experiences, sailing on Princess, formal can really run in every which what direction. I've seen ladies wear short cocktail dresses, long gowns and even dressy black slacks with a fancy top. Whatever you're comfortable with will be fine. Not all men wear tuxedos either. My dh wears a dark suit and tie and I like long dresses. Since you will have at least 2 formal nights, it's up to you. If you decide not to dress up, you can always go to the buffet or one of the specialty restaurants. On my last 7 night cruise, on the 2nd formal night, I just did not feel like getting all "dolled" up..I went the pants route with a nice top and felt right at ease. Just don't stress about it:) Hope this helped... Michelle:) Just how dressy do the formal nights get? We're doing an 11 night Northern Europe and Russia on Princess in July.

Typically the longer European cruises are more formal :) Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasEMT Posted March 25, 2014 #4913 Share Posted March 25, 2014 So I've been lurking this thread for ideas, inspiration, and well, it's just plain fun to see what ya'll come up with. You ladies all look fantastic and I love your dresses and your willingness to share your sense of style with those of us who are lacking in that department. Just wanted to say "thank you" to ya'll.

iheartbda Posted March 26, 2014 #4914 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If my calculations are correct, she should be home in about 5 days so maybe she will post pictures of all her glorious gowns once she gets settled in. We can only hope.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Forums mobile app NCL does not have formal nights. They have "dress up/dress down nights. Hardly anyone was dressed up. We wore cocktail dresses and the men wore slacks and a sports jacket and we felt over dressed. :eek: This was our first and only NCL cruise....It was sort of "it is your vacation...do what you want" type of cruise. We actually wound up loving it. I hope you have a GREAT cruise and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY:):):)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted March 27, 2014 #4919 Share Posted March 27, 2014 My dresses from Coldwater Creek arrived yesterday and I LOVE them. The black and white one is more casual, very light and should work well for non-formal nights and specialty restaurants. The watercolor dress is STUNNING and would work fine for formal nights. I'm soooooo jazzed! Will post photos, eventually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be overdressed, but it's our silver anniversary, and I need a new profile pic and evidence that I do own a dress and can wear my hair in anything other than a ponytail. I'll never ever be as classy as Marie or fashion-forward as Lisa (and that's ok by me), but I think I'm really going to enjoy putting on pretty clothes for a change. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNGALOHA Posted March 27, 2014 #4924 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Kansas EMT, I agree with Lisa and geocruiser. You have to be you otherwise this would be a very dull world. By the way where are you from in Kansas? I was born and raised there. Born in Topeka and raised in Junction City. Haven't been back since the early 80's. Hoping to get to go back this Oct for our 45th high school reunion. ( Wow did that just date me):eek: Can't wait until Marie gets back so we can see her pictures of her in her gorgeous gowns. Sure do miss her and hope she is doing good. Have a great day everyone, Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted March 27, 2014 #4925 Share Posted March 27, 2014 What I love about this board is the beauty of the variety of women (and some men, too) and their choices for dress, hair, makeup, nails. Short, tall, thin, fluffy, we all can learn to rock our own style. BTW Gerry, you are only one year ahead of me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
