newenglander58 Posted March 27, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi everyone - I have been reading all of these great threads and love the idea of "dressing" for dinner - I found these dresses in Coldwater Creek Outlet - I'm thinking of getting at least one for non-formal night - what do you think? Any opinions or suggestions?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted March 27, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Those are both cute. I prefer the 2nd one with the more pastel colors. Be sure to take a sweater or wrap. Sometimes the dining room is pretty cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglander58 Posted March 27, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Thanks DM - that was going to be my next question. I actually just bought a white eyelet jacket - I think that would be ok for non-formal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 27, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Either! Which one suits your coloring best? I'm not sure you'll need a jacket! I chill easily and have never been too cold in the dining room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglander58 Posted March 27, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted March 27, 2008 CB - I'm blonde- the dresses are petites - still browsing the Coldwater Creek site - going to check Newport News also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi2you Posted March 28, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I really really like the dresses from Newport News better. But I do like the two piece outfit from Coldwater. The blue/green is my favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndmom Posted March 28, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I like all of them! I have an outfit very similar to the third one. :) The second one with the sash is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star of county down Posted March 28, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I like the one with the aqua in the print. I carry my luggage on, so, I try to coordinate things and pack things that I can either fold or roll that won't wrinkle (believe it or not, it works for me:D ). You just want to look nice and be comfortable. You don't really even have to buy anything new, unless you want to. But I'm like you -- I like to wear my dresses, too, and I take a couple of pieces of jewelry to perk up whatever I wear. I am trying to remember whether I've ever gotten cold in the dining room and I don't think I ever have. It's usually after dinner on the top deck. I actually went thru Hurricane Rita (well, the Captain went around it as much as he could). I love feeling the wind up there. I usually go back to the cabin, take off my heels, put on my sandals, grab either my pashmina or jean jacket, and go up top to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglander58 Posted March 28, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I just bid on this dress at ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperatehousewife Posted March 28, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Really like the 1st pink v-neck one. Don't care for this pastel, round neck one. Be careful with this one b/c of the neckline/print.... Only certain people can pull of a high rounded neck like that, especially in a busy print, without looking dowdy. A v-neck /lower neckline will open up your face and change the style completely. This dress would actually make most people heavier than they really are , I guarantee it. This one( above) is nice because you get the floral/tropical feel without it being overwhelming and too busy, which easily happens with floral prints. Even though a higher neck, it drapes away softly and would create a nice neckline. Pluse the top is solid so you have a longer line going down....optical illusion. People I don't think give enough power to the neckline and how much weight it can +/- depending on style. It can be a lot.;) Like the pink from NPN, too.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxsonbrownie Posted March 28, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have to agree with Heather on this one. I really like this dress. Where did you find it? If you don't mind me asking? Jax:) OOOps, sorry, re-read your post, Coldwater Creek! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted March 28, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi, I like that one too...but would love it another color;) I am just not big on orange. It looks more orange than peach to me and I love stuff in the peach family. Hi Heather, hope you are doing well:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachieLnnn Posted March 28, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I like the first dress the best, because I prefer v-neck dresses. They are all very colorful and cute and any one of them would be great for a non-formal night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celbercrz333 Posted March 28, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I like the first one. But then I love anything pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newenglander58 Posted March 29, 2008 Author #19 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Update - the one that was "questionable" - with the rounded neck is no longer available - I'm leaning towards the pink. Also - I'm still winning my e-bay bid for this one - Checking out Coldwater Creek again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readingqueen Posted March 29, 2008 #20 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I liked the first dress so much that I went to the Coldwater Creek site and ordered it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_fn Posted March 29, 2008 #21 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I'd go with the 3rd option in the original post, only because it's separates, and you could wear the top another night with something else. They're all cute, and any of them would be totally appropriate for casual nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglander58 Posted March 29, 2008 Author #22 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Thanks again everyone - the skirt on option 3 is still available but not the top - any suggestions on another color top to put with it? Or should I just stick with that color palate?? P.S. still winning the strapless dress on e-bay - in fact I'm the only bidder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglander58 Posted March 30, 2008 Author #23 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hurray - I won the strapless dress on e-bay - cost me $10.95 including shipping!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newenglander58 Posted March 30, 2008 Author #24 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I could not resist the 40% off at Coldwater Creek - this is what I got..... the skirt that you all liked: With this top..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houndmom Posted March 31, 2008 #25 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I would say YAY!!!!!!!! Except I liked all the options. I'd have to say YAY no matter what! :p I hope the eBay dress works out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
