I realize you guys don't know me, so this will not be quite as humorous, but I'm posting it anyway.

 

My mother just stopped by to bring a dress she bought for me to wear when we go on our cruise. She was out shopping and it "looked tropical" so I guess that was all that mattered. Let me add that I tend to dress pretty conservatively, I have a teenage son that would probably not care to see me in this and I am taller that 5'0". This dress is skin tight and saying that it comes to my mid thigh is being overly generous.

 

It's like the woman doesn't know me at all! LOL!

 

Here it is (this is a view from the back so you can get the full effect):

It's a little bold, but it is kind of cute. Wear a pair of footless tights and some matching flats and I think it could work. You could also put a lightweight infinity scarf with it to make it a bit more conservative, or a thin longer skirt underneath. I really do like the colors. But, if you really hate it, you can always plead the "skin tight" angle with your mom.

Good afternoon ladies,

Well I have been sewing some more. Here is what I have finished now for the summer and our upcoming cruise.

This is the front view of the shorts

And this is of the sun dress that I made.

 

 

Hope everyone has a great day,

I love the sundress. I enjoy sewing also, just don't have enough time anymore.

Wow - what a bargain!

I love that dress & your daughter's too in that pic - great colors and the applique work....beautiful

Thanks so much. I love shopping for bargains on Ebay. If I get it and it just won't work, I turn around and sell it.

So glad you decided to join the fashion board. Welcome. It is always so much fun here. The ladies are always so nice and helpful...It's like a family of a thousand sisters!

 

The lavender dress is amazing on. Finding dresses with a matching cover up are always so hard to find...love that!

Thanks so much! I found it on Ebay for $24.99 after shipping.

Thank you all so much for the nice compliments and the warm welcome!

====================

 

Love your dresses but this is my fav of them all :-)

 

Have a great weekend

Cat:):)

Thank you!

Hey parrisk!! Lovely photos, did you mean to colour coordinate or was it just coincidence? I like!

Thank you so much! Yes, I try to match our colors as much as possible. The photos look nicer that way.

Yet another dinner dress. I bought it in Nassau several years ago and I take it on every cruise.

Yet another dinner dress. It is actually a hi-lo and the back is prettier than the front. Wish I had gotten a pic of the back.

Another casual dinner dress.

I have been lurking on this forum for over two years. I have enjoyed looking at all the awesome dresses and I wanted to contribute a little. This is from the first formal night on our Spring Break Disney Fantasy cruise. This is my first attempt to post a picture. I hope it isn't too large or too small.

Host Faith, CONGRATULATIONS....LOVE the green dress

 

Here is one of my newest dresses....I normally don't wear dresses above my knee, but had several ladies tell me how awesome this looks on. The picture does not do it justice. Not sure what kind of a shrug I will wear (or wrap) if any.....don't like my jiggly arms....

 

 

I have the same dress in black. I love it!!!! Sooooo slimming. I wear long gowns for formal night. I plan on wearing the black one like your white one for a casual night. The dress looks great on you!

Ladies,

I have been lurking on this thread for a really long time. I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the gorgeous gowns and dresses. As soon as I figure out how to post photos I will post some pictures from my last two cruises, then hopefully get some opinions on which dresses I should take on my next cruise. I love dressing up, especially for elegant night.
