WIND and DRESSES!?

[sgorich]

I am going on my first cruise and I don't know what to expect on the ship as far as wind goes. Is wearing a dress outside on the ship risky? I am afraid my dress will FLY up from the wind:eek: . And I dont want to stay in the ship the whole time I am wearing a dress!

Yea it does happen LOL It was at night when my bf and I were taking a walk on the top deck ... it is sooo nice tho walking at night!:)

[jerseygirl3]

Only happened once when I wore a pleated mini-skirt.

[sgorich]

Yikes Then I guess I will wear short shorts under my dress like I am 5 years old again!:) Memories..

I brought a ton of cute dresses on my cruise and ended up having to have my husband hold my drink while I tried (and I say tried) to keep my dress down. I never wore one on deck again, but it would be ok on shore or in the dining room.

I agree, probably wont show more than if you were in bathing suit

dont eat beans:eek:

[ddoll]

Ha! I was going to suggest wearing nice undies too. I mean, who cares? If your dress is blowing, so is everyone else's. :D

 

Besides, it's just a good excuse for your hubby to stand real close to you. ;)

Another reason to do like mama always said:

 

Always wear clean underwear when you leave the house! :rolleyes:

[dforeigner]

Use duck tape!:D

I got a good laugh out of all your replies, and agree, wear nice undies!!! On a serious note tho, have you tried the cruise fashion board? It's been a real life saver for me with all kinds of solution for all kinds of questions. Check it out and happy sailing~~~~~~~~~;)

[cruisinbuddy]

DW almost lost a dress one night:D , and I mean completely:D ;) You'll be walking with your arms straight down if you venture to the front of the ship, but the wind isn't as bad once you start heading towards the aft.

As ddoll said wear nice undies, no granny pants.:eek:

I remember reading years ago that certain members of European royalty have small ‘weights’ in the hemlines of their frocks in order to remain 'dignified' on their walkabouts in windy weather ; )

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

Dresses aren't the only clothes that fly up on a cruise ship's upper deck. One time I was watching the ship leave San Juan while I stood on the upper deck.

 

I thought it was comical that when the ship picked up speed some of the women in skirts had them blow up to their necks. Then I quickly got my "come-upance". Suddenly myT-shirt blew up all the way to my neck. It was actually over my face! :o

 

So you have to be careful, even in capris and a T-shirt.

[DBXX]

OMG, make sure you actually DO wear underwear :eek: lol... How bad would that be, lol..

By all means wear the weighted hemed dresses...All the bruises won't be that noticable after a week or two...sheeeesh...

Suggestion.......Wear you new bikini under your dress...We will see the bathing suit eventually at the pool anyway... :D

I can't tell you how happy I was to see this question, because it reminded me of this picture. This is my friend on a cruise about ten years ago. As you can see, the wind can affect your hemline. We staged this picture, but it did happen without her realizing it the first time.

[AmberMarie]

Wrap dresses are the worst, because you have to worry about it blowing up above your belly! haha

[CrossMyHeart]

It's no big deal just let it happen. You'll become very popular :)

[sgorich]

Ha Ha Peaceful! Great picture. I decided to go buy some new underwear that will match ever dress I wear-that way it can blend it and look like oh so nice and fashionable;)
