kwb715 Posted August 29, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2006 My hubby and I are leaving on the Carnival Miracle (7 days) in about 3 weeks. I still haven't decided what to wear for the formal nights, and I need HELP! I had to buy this dress (see pic) to be a bridesmaid in a wedding, and I hate to never be able to wear it again. Does it look too bridemaidsey (there's a word for you...)? Is it too much for Carnival? My other options are a little black dress made of a satin material and a brown and gold lacy dress.

miami Posted August 29, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Since it is short, I don't think it looks too bridesmaidsey. I have never been on Carnival but I think it will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytRacer Posted August 29, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Very pretty! I think it would be fine on Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI-Sailor Posted August 29, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Not too bridesmaidsey...no big "butt bow"! I'd wear it!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Jay Posted August 29, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Nice dress. It would look a bit more formal if the bow were black or grey. But I'm nitpicking. :o Lovely dress. :) But can we see the other options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine91 Posted August 29, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Very pretty dress. Haven't sailed Carnival myself, but have seen pix from people who have (friends, co-workers). In that pretty dress, you'll fit right in, if not be more dressed-up than what I've seen in pix. Your LBD will be great, too. That's mostly what I saw. LBDs or black dress pants & sparkly tops. Have a fantastic time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted August 29, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Lovely dress and perfect for your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilliesMom Posted August 29, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I think it will be perfect. I've been on Carnival, Princess, and RCL. All are similar in what you will see on formal nights -- from very nice office wear to designer expensive. We like to dress up. I have worn dressy slacks with fancy tops/jackets to floor length formals. My husband loves to wear a tux and owns his own. The dress is very pretty, it is definitely dressy, and if you feel pretty in it the I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfuzz Posted August 29, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Very cute dress, cudos to the bride who picked it I think for future if you wanted to change the look , you could cut the pink stuff off the bottom and use different color sashes and have different looks. Black would be great or deep berry for holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted August 29, 2006 #13 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Very cute...that should be perfect for one of the formal nights. What will you wear on the other one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwb715 Posted August 29, 2006 Author #14 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Thanks for all of your opinions. As for what to wear for the other formal night, I think I'll just take both of the other two and see how I feel that day. One is tighter than the other, so it may depend on how much I've eaten that week :o .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a land down under Posted August 30, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Cute dress, to make it more versatile here are some random thoughts: dye it a darker color, get a funky wide belt and wear low on hips (depending on body shape might work) as is current style. Take off bow and tule and wear with pashmina/organza wrap etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted September 2, 2006 #18 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Cute dress, to make it more versatile here are some random thoughts: dye it a darker color, get a funky wide belt and wear low on hips (depending on body shape might work) as is current style. Take off bow and tule and wear with pashmina/organza wrap etc. I'd not attempt to dye anything that I would possibly want to wear again. Except if it were to be a Halloween costume or something. I think I'd save the experiment for something fun to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg3 Posted September 2, 2006 #19 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I agree with FrogFuzz - it is great as is, but what a versatile dress. For a more formal look, cut the pink off the bottom and remove pink belt/bow. Accent with silver and/or diamonds and WOW !!!! :D gg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
