Okay, here's the deal. It's a bridesmaid dress, but before you groan and shudder, please click the link and view the photos.

Do you think it would be appropriate? My DH will be dashing in his black tuxedo, so I thought it would be fitting. I'm the person in the burgundy dress, and the other photo is just a stock photo, so you can see what it looks like. (FYI: dress has been altered and no longer has a 'train' as shown.)

Thanks for any feedback..just don't want to make a social faux pas! LOL..

It's a perfect dress for a cruise, that was a stroke of luck, usually brides say you will be able to wear the dress again, but NOT! Sissy

UPDATE: I tried this beauty on, and she's a bit snug, so I've got to whip this bod into shape, so I can wear it!

You can do it....just watch your carbs for the next week or so. At least that's what I'm telling myself... my formal gown is very form-fitting and won't hide a single bulge! [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif[/img]

Thanks for all the feedback. I think the dress will look great w/ DH's tux.

"Watch my carbs, watch my carbs.." this is my mantra for the next week!

Thanks for the feedback. Now, I just have to fit into it! Needless to say, I will be wearing it on the FIRST formal night, before I eat myself into oblivion. I have my palazzo pants and beaded jacket for the second formal night! Thsoe pants leave me plenty of room to spare! LOL...
