Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted June 9, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Ah, I think the OP in her excitement meant to say Evening Gown, and not Night Gown. Happy shopping! 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted June 9, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Women have zero idea re. male overheating when adorned in out-of-context Euro-costuming originally designed (and necessary for) un-heated castles. No wonder he groaned. She just wanna look pretty! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare AFS1970 Posted June 11, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I read it as a new (elegant night) gown, not as a new elegant (night gown). So I understood what she was saying. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL Pinkaminco Posted June 11, 2023 Author #10 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Update!! It is VERY elegant! Totally not me, but Hubby says I can pull it off. And it will travel well, meaning it will take up little space without wrinkles... and everything is covered! Thank you all so much for all the laughs!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you'll be flying to New Orleans. Very exciting to have a wedding on a cruise! I hope one of my DDs will do this👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate melting cake Posted June 11, 2023 #15 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Actually, several years ago we were on a cruise when I spotted a couple in "formal wear". My wife and I lined up in back of them for pictures, she refused to let me take their picture, even though I explained I admired the man's jacket and wanted to get one like it. I was surprised two weeks later when the couple posted their picture on another social media group. I SWEAR this is what they wore----so if you're looking for an alternate dress El Pitman? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibertyBella Posted June 11, 2023 #17 Share Posted June 11, 2023 PLEASE post a photo of your new gown! I am following this fun thread and I would like to see what you purchased. I have many cruise evening gowns, but not one would really work for a formal wedding--just too many sequins. I would not want to compete with the bride (ha ha). Have a wonderful time!
