Post a Picture of Your Dress (Part 2)

[Nebr.cruiser]

I love the dress! I'm wondering though, about the other nights, besides "elegant" night, do people dress up? I have a couple of dresses that I would like to take with me, but I don't want to be out of place. I'm losing weight, down from a 26 to an 18. Not much, but I'm starting to get a bit of curve! I want to feel good for these nights with hubby. This is our 25th anniversary cruise, so it is our "honeymoon."

Advise would be appreciated.

Dress varies, of course, but many people dress up very nicely for most nights--maybe not formal wear, but cocktail wear, 'church' dresses, what you might wear to a nice wedding, etc. is fine and you won't be alone. I certainly dress better for almost any night on a cruise than if I'm going out at home. (It is very casual where we live, though).

 

Congratulations on the weight loss. That's super, and not a minor loss at all.

If I'm "dressing" on non-elegant nights, it's skirts or maxi dresses. That makes me feel better than staying in the same clothes I trod around the ship or while on an excursion. I personally think summery maxi dresses are wonderfully forgiving while losing weight.

Sherri Lynn, I have been trying to find the email or site address of the company that you get your dresses from and I just can't find it. Would you mind giving it to me again, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much,

Gerry

Hi Ladies, Just got my first Jessica London catalog in the mail and I'm in love! The clothes are amazing and I can see so many of the items on a cruise. The models are curvy too. ;) There's one dress in particular I'm in love with. It's called a flyaway maxi dress in a pretty print. They're having an extra 50% sale (your highest priced item) with the purchase of 2 or more items. It's code JLF4031 at www.jessicalondon.com.:)

I cannot buy any more dresses, I cannot buy any more dresses, I cannot buy any more dresses!:eek: Just wanted to share! J

Of course I don't mind posting the sites for you. Here are the ones that I have used over the last few years. I prefer the first one....basically they have the same dresses, just prefer this site.

The prices have gone up some in the last month....last time she emailed me, she said that things would be going up because of the cost of materials, raising salary, and the increase in shipping cost. However for the prices, I still think they are a bargain...

 

If these don't work, let me know and I will try and post them again.

Hello Ladies,

 

Hope everyone is doing well. We left Port Douglas last night. We are now heading to Kota Kinabalu.

 

Have a great day ladies.

I love seeing all your beautiful dresses. Do you mind saying how many dresses you brought along?

 

Cactusgirly, very nice dresses. You look terrific.

Hi ladies,

 

Well, I'm going on my first 15 day cruise so naturally, what to wear is stressing me :p I thought for the first time in my cruising life, I'm going to try a cocktail dress (above) and fancy top (2nd pix) with silk palazzo pants for two of the four formal nights. Long gowns the other two so that I can get one more use out of them.

 

Good thing I live within driving distance from port - the excess baggage fees would kill me!

[DivasDare]

Marie

 

The selections that you have shared have been a highlight to my days, just beautiful. Until the next posting, enjoy your time aboard.

[TNGALOHA]

Porthopper, all I can say is WOW!!!!!! Those gowns are gorgeous.

Hope you are having a great time on your cruise. I see your foot has gone down some, you are in some of the other shoes you brought. They are gorgeous too.

 

 

Drew's Wife, Thank you s much for posting those for me. I have bookmarked them and put then in my favorites so i can find them again.;)

Hi Marie,

 

All your gowns are so beautiful, and you look like a fashion model in them!

Continue to have a great time on your cruise, and stay healthy.

 

Take care,

Thank you! Inquiring minds want to know. That means we can hopefully see many more of your gorgeous gowns.

[cruzisme]

Love seeing all your beautiful dresses and gowns!

 

Sure wish I wore your size!

 

Keep posting as we are all living vicariously through you!:rolleyes:

I wore a dress to dinner every night. Most of the nights I wore a sundress or casual dress, but I love to dress up, and don't have much opportunity to do so at home, so I did on our cruise :)

 

Way to go on the weight loss!!

Very lovely outfits - really like the shoulder on the black dress!!! Enjoy your cruise. Jan

Terri, you need to dress for you...You'll look lovely, I'm sure. And don't sell yourself short on your losses. 2 years ago I was a 26 and now I'm a 10/12. Celebrate every loss!!! Lord knows I'm going to "dress up" each night. I worked hard to lose 110 lbs and I know how you feel. You and your husband have a special trip and enjoy each other's company. Screw what other people think...if you feel good and aren't wearing a see through chain mail dress (unacceptable with any body type IMO), go for it!! :D

[tmealer]

Thank you both for your encouragement.

We are sailing on the Carnival Fantasy from Charleston on May 14.

I'm still hoping to shed a few more pounds between now and then, but my health issues pose a limit at times. Mostly my appetite and "depression" eating have cut down. We don't bring sweets in to the house anymore since the boys have left the house. We're worried about putting on more weight while on the cruise, but have read about the gym on board which we plan on using.

Have a blessed day,

Terri

[jkudzu]

Tmealer--I dress up every night too! My DH is a stress eater. But on the cruise he loses weight--he relaxes and has no worries!:D Have a wonderful time and enjoy being beautiful!

[CactusGirly]

 

Cactus, love the dresses. I particularly like it when your hair is up. It really changes the overall look.

 

Thank you for the nice compliments! It's funny, I love my hair down, and then after I saw the photos realized it does look better up! (Much easier too - go figure!) I will remember that for future dress up nights. You learn something new everytime you see a picture of yourself. :)

[CactusGirly]

Cactusgirly, very nice dresses. You look terrific.

 

Thank you!:)

[Seniorstallion]

Thanks to all of you ladies I am now dying to shop for our upcoming cruise. Marie's gowns are amazing and I would love to find some similar in style. Luckily I get to take DD along to shop as well. Prom coming up and just had winter formal so she has dresses but a girl can never have to many.
