lilfish7 Posted August 13, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'm trying to find a cute cocktail dress (w/o breakng the bank) for the formal night on our upcoming 5 night RCCL cruise. I wore a floor length evening gown and a cocktail dress on our cruise in January, but want something different! (Side note: I'm in my mid 20's) http://www.lulus.com/products/alice-in-zipperland-one-shoulder-dress-in-beige/26291.html reminds me of something you'd see on Project Runway or something! http://www.lulus.com/products/center-stage-strapless-dress-in-black/26275.html What do you think? Are they "formal" enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted August 13, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Heck yeah! Cute dresses. I'd wear one as well if I were 30 years younger and (a few) lbs. lighter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethwte Posted August 13, 2010 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I saw girls our age (I'm 23) in similar dresses on formal nights on Princess a month ago. RCCL was a little less formal than Princess per my memory, so you should be fine especially if you glam it up with some sparkly accessories :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgm61 Posted August 14, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I actually like the cream one better. Very cute. and its machine washable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catllar Posted August 14, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I like the black one, but the fit is odd at the back below the waist, considering she's such a slim model, there are a few puckers- it looks too tight on the hips and is therefore riding up to form creases. If you buy that one, get someone to check out your rear view! The front is just gorgeous. The grey one is so cute. Very young, perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted August 15, 2010 #13 Share Posted August 15, 2010 They're both fine for RCCL's formal night. I agree with Catlar. If you buy the black one, check out the fit in the back carefully. That extra loose fabric over her right hip looks terrible and when she walks would look even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilfish7 Posted August 15, 2010 Author #14 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I guess I'll order it early, in case the back looks odd. I'll keep looking too, just in case I find something else! I showed DH the beige one and the look on his face was priceless! He said "are you joking?" He's not too hip! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suezyq50 Posted August 17, 2010 #18 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Both are gorgeous. I would order both, in two different sizes, and see what looks best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snausman Posted August 18, 2010 #19 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I love both dresses! You will look so cute! Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsMayberi Posted August 20, 2010 #20 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Both dresses are totally appropriate! I always though is I was going to spend money on a dress, I wanted to be able to wear it more than once. I have seen in the stores that mixed metal jewelry is really popular. The black dress you could do some fun silver and hematite jewelry with a fun color heel??? Red???? Have fun! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
