QM2 dress code for women

[ancun1]

I look forward to seeing you both trip the light fantastic. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I have two left feet and no sense of rhythm whatsoever! Thus, you will not see me floating around the dance floor but I still like to wander the ship in the evenings so I'm hoping to spot you. Of course if you're only dressed in "nice tops", I may not let on !

Thank you too Camgirl and I love your suggestion of Bon Marche, I have never looked for dresses in there. I'll have a look when I next go into town. I buy loads of things from Marisota or JD Williams or whatever else they call themselves.

 

Another suggestion I heard recently for cruise clothes was Roman Originals, so perhaps have a look at their website.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

Thanks AnnieC, have done Roman's website to death! They have some lovely things and I have taken advantage.

Just for you, Ancun1, I will add something extra to the 'nice tops'.

 

It's a pity you can't make it to Swindon as they have a Roman Originals department.

 

Looking forward to seeing you again, Camgirl. Lots to catch up on. I won't have danced between my November cruise and the June one so my standards may have slipped somewhat!!! In fact, I haven't really danced for a year now.

If you haven't discovered the delights of Boundary Mill at Colne, you could be in for a treat. They seem to have a huge range of labels at excellent discounts. One of the things I bought there for our last cruise was a beautiful lace vest to wear under a jacket with silk trousers. You'll find lots of trouser 'n top wearers, in all parts of the ship. (Though I do love wheeling out the bling and swishy skirts for formal nights.)

Thanks AnnieC, not heard of them before. Had a look but unfortunately, again everything I liked was only available to the sylph-like amongst us!

 

I agree about Boundary Mill Grendelsmother but I haven't been there for a while. My main problem isn't finding stores that stock nice things, but that dresses don't do me any favours. I have so much that needs concealing that I have to stick to "nice tops" and long skirts/trousers. I NEVER wear dresses of any description, oh, apart from my daughter's wedding and then I had to. I did change in the evening though, an afternoon was long enough in a dress.

Ebay is a godsend when it comes to buying cocktail dresses etc.

 

There are some absolute bargains with lightly worn and new dresses at a fraction of shop prices. All budgets, tastes and shapes are catered for. Accessories as well.

 

I even persuaded my husband to buy a tuxedo on eBay. He wasn't very keen but is really pleased with the suit.

 

If you're pretty confident regarding size and know what suits you, I don't think you can fail. I'm a bit of an eBay addict. [emoji126]

Ebay is wonderful for finding formal men's and women's clothing!

We have TkMaxx in Australia but they don’t have formal wear for women.

TKMaxx is TJMaxx in the US. Love the chain. I have never seen a TKMaxx in Australia. Are they in Sydney?
