Anybody looking for a dress to dance the night away on your next cruise? I saw this on TV today. Those of us who like to dress up on a cruise will understand his last quote.

I totally agree. I have a completely different attitude wearing a nice dress than when I'm dressed more casually. It makes the experience seem more special.

What a nice story...hey Walt, did you read this???? I need more dresses. :D

On a serious note, I do feel glamorous and beautiful when I where an evening gown or even a pretty dress.

That would have been a cool episode for "Hoarders." I'm a bit creeped out by the whole thing. :D

[B]Fun to look at but my days of gowns on cruise ships are over. I wore them for 80+ cruises and as I watched many of those around us not bother with the gown or tuxedo anymore, we joined their ranks. Sure, we got older and that is part of the factor but we started to feel over-dressed and chose to go suit for him and cocktail dress for me.

Same here. Instead of being charmed, I think he had a teeny weeny obsession problem.
But that can easily be overlooked because he did it for his wife... right? :rolleyes:
Even if she wore a new dress every day, it'd still take her 150 years to go through them all.
