Sundresses - Marilyn Monroe Style?

[tdees07]

I prefer to wear sundresses instead of shorts or capris....is it too windy to wear them or will I be safe?

[kaylorcc]

I've generally found that sundresses are perfectly fine at most times during the day. However, it can get quite windy on deck during the evening, causing disruption of hair and dress. I had a very embarrassing incident on the pool deck one evening a couple of cruises ago.. I've been a little more careful with my "strolling-about-the-ship" outfits in the evening since then. :o But during the day I almost always wear skirts or sundresses, without any problems.

During our last several cruises, the sea days have been quite windy outside, so beware!

I usually only wear dresses while on a cruise. I have found that the boy short (undergarments) in matching colors are life savers if a gust of wind happens along. For me cruises are the only time we dress up.

As long as you don't step outside, you'll be fine.

 

If you plan on walking across an open deck, forget it. You will be giving quite a show. ;)

[babyher]

Well you did refer to it as a Marilyn Monroe dress.

 

The whole purpose was for it to blow up with the wind .

 

It became one of the most famous photos from the movies *LOL*

On behalf of the men onboard, let me just say that you should wear whatever you want to. Don't worry about the wind. ;)

You shouldn't have done that zipline in a skirt. ;)

[monn_a]

I wear sundresses all the time you have to be ware when walking across the decks outside though.

You saw that picture, too, did ya'?:o

[robtulipe]

Especially be careful at the top of outside stairwells going from a upper deck to the pool deck where even on a fairly windless day you will get a tunnel like effect. DW on such a day suddenly had her dress wrapped around her head when starting down that type of staircase.

[English_in_Spain]

What are you worrying about.

 

You would be showing far less than you were a few hours earlier by the pool or on the beach - lol

I was frantically trying to hold the dress down going down the stairs. :oYikes!

All kidding aside...as long as you have something underneath you should be fine. Ive seen some men and ladies in some bathing suits that should have stayed on the rack in the store. :D

[FL_Cruiser64]

You poor thing!:p

 

 

I shall remember that. There will be a time....but anyhow...:D

Ah yes, the Flowrider. I think if I ever go on that, I will wear a wetsuit from neck to toe! :rolleyes: There were various, um, appendages hanging out all over the place while I was watching.

[scayuga]

On the other hand .....if you're going commando :D

I've heard stories from my mom about girls sewing coins or marbles into their hems to keep them from blowing up in the wind. She grew up in the country and girls HAD to wear dresses or skirts to school even in winter.

 

I don't know if that would be enough to save your skirt in some of the wind I've seen. I've had my skirt blown a few times. I avoid going on the decks in a skirt and now usually wear capris for casual nights. The decks can be strange - perfectly calm in one spot but go around a corner and :eek:.
