Elegant Night Dress

[mrsamandal]

We are going on the Triumph and while this isn't the exact dress I have, I have something very similar in my closet already. However, is this too dressy for Elegant night? Mine is completely floor length, even with my heels.

While I"m sure some people still dress up, are we talking like 5% or like 50% of people on the cruise go really dressy? this is my first cruise and I'm nervous I'll be way too dressed up.:confused:

Beautiful dress. You will see people from all sides of the spectrum. They have different photo stops on elegant nights as well. Alot of people dress up, have pictures taken, go to dinner, and then usually change back in to comfortable clothes. Others stay dressed all night.

 

I'm not a dress person, but wore dressy slacks and a very dressy top. I have seen people in gowns and tuxes, suits and pantsuits, even jeans and sweaters on my recent Alaskan cruise.

 

So, imho, I don't think you will be too dressed up. Enjoy yourself. People will be looking at how gorgeous you look dressed up not wondering why you are dressed up.

IMHO- you can never be overdressed on a cruise. You will look amazing. Enjoy and have fun!

The dress is lovely and you will not be overdressed.

 

Come and join the ladies on the fashion board. There is a thread all about dresses with pictures. I'll see if I can post it...

That's not too dressy at all. You will most likely see people that are even more dressed up than that. And you will see some in sun dresses. I think it's great!

I think you'd look lovely in this dress. There isn't anything to be nervous about. This is YOUR cruise to enjoy. Hopefully you'll get a lot of female CC members to agree. I still, because it's my cruise, wear a tuxedo on elegant night, just because I want to.Have a great time, and I think you'll look smashing in the dress.

Thank you. That makes me feel a little less apprehensive. I LOVE the dress and have only worn it once, so I'd love to get at least one more use out of it.

Totally agree! Enjoy your elegant evening!

I am going on a cruise 10 days and I have 2 formal nights and BOTH of my dresses are floor length. I was a little apprehensive at first because a lot of people are going to slacks and cocktail dresses according to these boards, but I have changed my attitude to this is MY cruise and MY night to shine, so SHINE I will! GO for it!

 

Here is one of my dresses: http://www.spiegel.com/shop/popup_lgview.aspx?style_id=36934272&zoom=1&effortstyle=SP 44968 and I will accessorize with flashy jewelry and shoes.

Beautiful dress! I just bought my mom a floor length dress with similar beading for one of the elegant nights on our cruise.

[ChefSusan]

Gorgeous dress! Wear it in good health, and enjoy looking amazing in it!

[Tggrtoes]

Ditto! It's gorgeous. Take advantage of the photo ops and enjoy yourself.

I'd say it's PERFECT for elegant night! While not everybody dresses up, I think the majority still does. Or, it may be that I look right through those who don't dress? Either way, I'd say you will look and feel just right for the evening! I just bought my 16 year old a "prom-ish" dress for our 5 day this September. She is so excited, and it's the perfect time to get them on clearance!

Just returned from a Carnival cruise. Your dress will be perfect. There were women in long dresses, short cocktail dresses, church dresses. There were some that were under dressed in my opinion, but they seemed in the minority. Enjoy your elegant night.

[toby #1]

It is not to dressey. It is a great dress for any dinner on the cruise. You will look great and you will be the envy of the non-dressers. :):):)

[ohyes]

Wow, i love this dress! So glad you get to wear it to elegant night!

[GetMeToABeach]

Beautiful dress! Ditto everyone else- it will be perfect. Enjoy your cruise! :)

[momof4boys]

Beautiful!! You will look amazing! Have a Blast!!

[Inklight]

Elegant night is what you make of it. And as a lot of posters have already said there will be a mix of dressers, so quite frankly, whatever you choose you will fit in somewhere. That's one of the best parts about a cruise!

 

I say if you wear what makes you feel fabulous ... then that's what will shine from you that night. It's a beautiful dress. Wear it and be fabulous!

While this dress would look terrific, I see that it's 100% silk.... I love silk, but rarely travel with it. Toooooo many wrinkles for me! (Just something for you to consider).

Love your dresses! I love to get dressed up on elegant night! I have so few opportunities to do so and I love it.

 

Our opportunity to SHINE!!:D
