Silver Anniv Posted October 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hello all you wonderful Fashionista’s. I’ve picked up so many wonderful tips, and many of you are so talented at putting clothes together. I’m now paying attention to how clothes fit, and colors that look well on me. Something I hadn’t done before. I’m actually getting more compliments from my co-workers on my outfits, so something is “sinking in”. And it’s all because of you. I love it when you describe how you put your clothes together, gives me so much “food-for-thought”!!!!! Now to my quest for help. I’m looking to purchase a dress to take on my upcoming holiday cruise (We’re also spending Christmas week in FL before the cruise). I’d like a black A-line long sleeved turtleneck dress that falls to the calf (and wear boots). I’ve searched so many sites and can’t seem to find anything available in A-line, all are straight skirts. Is this not fashionable anymore? As a last resort, last night I tried on a black A-line jersey knit skirt and matched it with a black jersey knit turtleneck, didn’t seem quite right. Any suggestions?

derf5585 Posted October 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2006 good for disguising bottom-heavy figures. from http://fashion.about.com/cs/glossary/g/bldefaline.htm I guess P-Line dress would be for woman with a big "top" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrqoisWtrs Posted October 25, 2006 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Happened to see a couple here, although each is missing one of the requirements... :rolleyes: http://*****.com/fwaeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suziescruzin Posted October 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Does it have to be a turtleneck? I have this one from Newport News and love the way it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celbercrz333 Posted October 25, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Susies, Beautiful dress. I would also check out many of the regular catalog sites, plus QVC and home shopping network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyZoo Posted October 25, 2006 #6 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I saw a V Neck a-line dress on Bluefly. I haven't seen a turtleneck one in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyZoo Posted October 26, 2006 #7 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Just saw a turtleneck dress at Nordstrom in cashmere but it is a pencil skirt; not a-line: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2905721/0~2376776~2374327~2379261?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2379261&P=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim I used to own this dress before I wore it out! I'll keep my eyes open and post if I find it. However since what you are describing is so conservative, look in conservative venues like Banana Republic, J.Crew, Talbots, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyaheel Posted October 26, 2006 #10 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Travelsmith - indispensable travel dress--comes in a mock turtleneck. I have a summer (sleeveless) version that I adore--wear it all the time for work and, obviously, it's great for travel too--packs easily, no wrinkles, dries quickly. http://www.travelsmith.com/jump.jsp?itemID=811&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C250%2C282&iProductID=811&sortBy=0 It does come in black.

Hoyaheel Posted October 26, 2006 #12 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Thanks Lois! I have all my clothing laid out on the guest bed--still haven't actually done the packing yet. But I am bringing my sleeveless indispensable travelsmith dress for a casual night or two. Our cruise has 3 formal, 2 informal, and 6 casual dinners. So I'm sticking mostly with knit dresses ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted October 26, 2006 #13 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hoya, that is too funny:D I recently found a couple of those wonderful knits too....got a really cute dress on Coldwater Creek's outlet store (on the net) It is long with a lovely blue-black-tealish mosaic print. And in the local Coldwater Creek store here in town...a new purple skirt:D (my color!) with a lovely top to match. The skirt is long and the top is a print with purples and golds in it. They look great together and they were on sale too! These items take up NO SPACE for packing!:) You gotta love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ2sail Posted October 26, 2006 #14 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Am I missing something? Do you need turtle necks and boots for Florida and the Caribbean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted October 27, 2006 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Am I missing something? Do you need turtle necks and boots for Florida and the Caribbean? Who said anything about need?

OVgirl Posted October 27, 2006 #16 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Check out Coldwater Creek website coldwatercreekdotcom . They also have 50%off everything until midnight tonight. Some very nice knit dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Anniv Posted October 27, 2006 Author #17 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks so much for all the responses, I knew I could come to you all for help. Several of these I've already seen. I'm considering the ones from Nordstroms (no A-line) and Newport (no turtleneck) Hoyaheel: The one from Travel Smith looks like what I'm looking for, funny I thought I looked there too, but didn't see that one. Thanks for bring it to my attention, looks great, glad to know you have it and get a lot of use from it. I plan to wear it to work as well. BlueHerons: Thanks, I didn't look at Banana Republic or J.Crew. I did Talbots already, nothing. I thought with all the fall clothes out, that kind of dress would be available, seems like a "staple" for the fall wardrobe. Happy shopping everyone!!!!
