Drew's Wife Posted November 4, 2011 #102 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Drewswife, My husband LOVED that plane!!!!!!! When you were stationed there.

Drew's Wife Posted November 5, 2011 #105 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Drew just bought me these two dresses. I always love this style, but most of mine are either a v-neck or halter. I have this dress is a light silver/blue and a burgandy. However, when I found two more colors....well...:D:rolleyes: I really like the neckline on this dress, love this shade of blue, and can always use and extra black cocktail dress.:);) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew's Wife Posted November 5, 2011 #107 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Love it...does it come in green? I haven't seen the bateau neckine in green, however, I do have this dress with the v-neckline in an emerald green and a dark hunter green. The emerald being my favorite.;) I know several ladies that have this style dress (hmm... Joyce):D and everyone seems to like them. I also think it is a style that is flattering to most body types. Right now these are on JC Penny and they also have a coupon code for $10 off. The code is BEATSALL I ordered each dress separate so that I could get the ten dollars of each dress.;):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohitssunshine Posted November 6, 2011 #108 Share Posted November 6, 2011 I had ordered this dress for our February Carnival cruise elegant night. Since ordering I booked a 3 day RCI cruise for January. I was told there really isn't an elegant night on a 3 day RCI but that most dinners are dressy. I would love to try out my new dress, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi,:) I think it is a pretty dress and if you enjoy getting dressed up, then by all means, wear it. But as for most dinners being dressy on a 3 night sailing? I have to disagree with that one....I have only been on a couple of shorter cruises (most of mine are 7 nights are longer) but I have been on a couple of 3/4 nighters. I would say (just my opinion)most folks do not "dress up"....and I am in the minority...I love getting dressed up:) but again, if you feel like getting dressed up, I say go for it:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to dress up, but not when I am the only one! Does anyone know if they actually do an "elegant" night on RCI 3 day sailings? I was shocked when our Carnival 3 day had one, I didn't even expect that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew's Wife Posted November 9, 2011 #113 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Ladies, The dresses just arrived a few minutes ago. A full week ahead of the date she had given me! These dresses are so pretty! They fit perfectly! These won't even need to be hemmed!:) The blue one is pretty, but the red is such a vibrant red! Drew doesn't usually care for red, and so one reason that I wanted to wear something other than red for the Sweetheart Ball. However, when he saw the red dress, he said "You have to wear that dress"! I knew then that just like him, the dress was a keeper.;):) I'm going to email the lady now, and tell her how much I love the dresses and to "thank her". Everyone have a wonderful evening.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even find a strapless bra that holds the girls where I want them (without killing me)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even find a strapless bra that holds the girls where I want them (without killing me)! Yes, the dress has built in cups with stays. Very good support, Also the dresses have elastic type straps that hook in the back of the dress. Never have seen this before, but it really pulls the dress together in back for extra support.

Nebr.cruiser Posted November 10, 2011 #119 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Sounds great. I do have one black ball gown with spaghetti straps that has built in stays and that actually holds everything where it should be without needing another bra and is (pretty) comfy as well. It would stay up just fine without the straps, so I undrerstand what you are talking about. Unfortunately I need to lose a few pounds to wear it comfortably! Those same 10 lbs. just keep creeping back! We're cruising in Dec. so I am in cruise-losing mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, when I put the dress on, it really gave me the incentive to get those extra pounds off. It is really hard with all the holidays coming up. I hope to have them off before New Year's Eve. Haven't decided on anything for that yet, but 10 lbs should not be too hard, and it's amazing what a difference that can make in the fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
