Hoyaheel Posted August 16, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Talbots now has bridal party options (On the Aisle collection) and I love this sparkly tank over narrow pants: http://www.talbots.com/online/browse/product_details.jsp?zoomImage=23075109_alt2&id=prdi29174&catId=cat1980065&rootCategory=cat70012&sortKey=Default&conceptIdUnderSale=cat70012§ion=Regular I'm a fan of this sleeveless top - If you want long sleeve - I like this wrap. Or a twinset for the best of both worlds (though it has that glitter on it): http://media.redcatsusa.com/is/image/vendor/mm/8855_56079_mm.jpg Bright color!

RedHeadTexan Posted August 16, 2012 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I bought this top at Macys.com http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/michael-michael-kors-plus-size-top-cap-sleeve-sequined-cowl-neck?ID=677424&PseudoCat=se-xx-xx-xx.esn_results but in white and silver. I plan on wearing it with black palazzo pants. Macy's has a really good selection of modern dressy tops in plus sizes. I have also purchased INC sequined tops at Macys.com.

summer_girl Posted August 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I would think any shimmery/blingy top with some black dress pant and accessories would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedHeadTexan Posted August 16, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I like it!! I have just discovered INC at Macy's and have purchased a couple tops for our next cruise! I am really happy that Macy's is finally carrying fashionable clothes in plus sizes. I have a hard time finding misses tops that fit my chest, so I buy a mix of misses and plus size tops that fit my chest and get things tailored as needed. Nordstrom's is another one of my favorites for dresses and dressy tops. Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, if it wasn't about $400 more then I like to pay (the 3 pcs. are $550...yikes!) I may consider it! I'll have to keep the idea in my mind...maybe I can find something like it. But, I LOVE it!!!

Hoyaheel Posted August 17, 2012 #13 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Yeah, Talbots sale prices can be great, but the dresses when they first come out are priced high. And this is a new line - assume it's meant to compete with the JCrew bridal party line, maybe for slightly older women (and it comes in women's sizes, too) Macys has great sale racks too, but sadly the Macys closest to me is crap and I don't like going to the other mall that has it - too crowded, long drive, etc. I got a great (super cheap!) 2 piece set at Sears on clearance a few years ago - great pewter color. I've worn the top with black skirts, happened to find the matching pewter skirt at a different Sears a few weeks later - didn't necessarily want it but it was $12 so I figured I should buy it, just in case:p (top is a sleeveless faux wrap with some sequins, skirt is full ball skirt) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddybean11 Posted August 18, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 18, 2012 This is the outfit I plan to wear for formal night on our upcoming cruise on the fantasy in 2 weeks. I also bought this blouse to go with the same black pants for another night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t60 Posted August 18, 2012 #15 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Love the black and white top, then I realised I have a similar one already. I´ll fish it out this morning ready for our next cruise and team it with some crushed velvet trousers. I have just bought some new black dancing shoes which i am taking on board and will do for dancing and evening wear Sandy in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted August 18, 2012 #16 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Love the pink wrap. I am also looking for dressy tops. I hope to see pictures posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithsKelly Posted August 18, 2012 #17 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Buddybean11: love both the tops! Do you mind sharing the brands and where you got them? I think I have the clothing bug right now, I just want some new things! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddybean11 Posted August 19, 2012 #18 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Not at all. The set is "R & M Richards" and the black & grey is "Signature". Both are from Ross. $29.99 for the set and $9.99 for the separate blouse. I thought it was a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie MeMe Posted August 19, 2012 #19 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Try Dress Barn. It takes a while to assemble your wardrobe but I find they have new things every few weeks. My plan is One tulip black skirt just below knee. One long black dress, One pair of crepe black pants, one pair white dress pants. Black, white, silver, red tops in sheer nylon -- I have maybe 15-20 that I have collected over the years. I choose based on time of year, mood, destination. the tops absolutely don't wrinkle and the tops can go over the shell or on top the long black dress and the jackets go over a pop of color top and pants or skirts. I never take beaded any more (too heavy) and limit "traveler's knit" (slinky and heavy) and NO GLITTER as it ruins everything in the suitcase even in a plastic bag. I take less for formal nights and more day wear. If an outfit looks good over pants and skirt then shows up at dinner in 2 different ways. Operating words are "You won't see these folks again:D" and "You will see everything from Fredrick's of Hollywood to Methodist Church and all will be accepted". Have fun and pack light.

Doglovertoo Posted August 20, 2012 #20 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Bowie : "You will see everything from Fredrick's of Hollywood to Methodist Church and all will be accepted". Too funny! Love the way you put that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewee Posted August 21, 2012 #21 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Bowie: You mention you limit yourself to mostly "travel knit". I am trying to do the same but have exhausted my list of known suppliers. I have searched high and low for a pair of burgandy pants and and matching tank top to wear with a an open 3/4 sleeve jacket I have. Was trying to branch out from BLACK if you know what I mean. Any on line source that you could suggest would be greatly appreciated. dewee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted August 21, 2012 #22 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Travelsmith often has various colors of knit travel pieces. JCP used to have their own line but I haven't seen it recently. Chicos adds various colors, in addition to the standard black. They have a red on their website now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line is called Made in Heaven.
