Suits you beautifully! Though I kinda wish I hadn't seen your post, since the coral one is calling my name now that I've seen it again. ;-)</p> <p>Sounds like a great resolution on the cruise - you doing the research enables you to pick a line with a "vibe" that will be comfortable for you. </p> <p>Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase/page/2#post-1789278 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 15:59:52 +0000 viva 1789278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JamC: sizing was spot-on. Took my regular size and it fit like a dream.</p> <p>Karen: Cruise Critic has been really helpful so far! Helped us choose the line and ship. :)</p> <p>Thanks everyone for the pro-cruise perspective. It's helping me feel much, much better about this vacation. I have to say, I usually get my way (although to be fair, I do ALL the vacation research too) - so it's a big deal to take DH's vacation choice for a change. I'm feeling rather magnanimous, hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase/page/2#post-1789273 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 15:34:24 +0000 karen13 1789273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun dress! I've done a number of cruises, both with just DH and some with sides of our families. They are a great way to travel with people with a variety of ages, interests and fitness levels. Plus you see lots of place and only unpack once. </p> <p>I think the reason my DH likes them, besides the reasons above, is they can be so relaxing - you don't even have to decided where to eat.</p> <p>Different cruise lines cater to different clientele, some family oriented, some older, some quieter, some with a real strong party vibe (did one once, probably not again for me). </p> <p><a href="http://boards.cruisecritic.com/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://boards.cruisecritic.com/index.php</a>?<br /> There is an interesting online forum called Cruise Critic with tons of info, and even a board for "roll call" for your specific ship and sailing that cruisers will post on and discuss details of itineraries, ports of call, best place to stay in port, etc. You can just lurk and get all kind of info.</p> <p> I hope yours is wonderful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase/page/2#post-1789272 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 15:33:57 +0000 Anonymous 1789272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it - perfect fit and length! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase/page/2#post-1789270 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 15:24:30 +0000 JamC 1789270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, That dress looks great on you and will be perfect for packing and wearing on a cruise.

It has a fringe type trim?<br /> Looks wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase/page/2#post-1789256 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 14:01:23 +0000 viva 1789256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I really do love it. And thank you for the suggestions to dress it down. I think it would be great with flat sandals or even sneakers and my jean jacket. It feels great on (but will look better with makeup or some sun, and with shoes).</p> <p>Lisap: it's more cottony than satiny, although it's a very smooth cotton so it feels a bit luxe, IYKWIM. Lining is satiny so it moves on the body.</p> <p>Angie: It hits me just above the knee, so it's not short by my standards. Just not midi. And I love the bright color.</p> <p>Dana: It's so interesting that you called this "tom girl," and I think you are spot on. I'm not sure I would have said that because it feels so feminine, but the high neck -- one of my favorite features -- is, I think, what gives it that "tom girl" vibe. So insightful of you. </p> <p>And ps: we've booked the cruise. It's ON.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1789238 Sun, 19 Mar 2017 11:19:39 +0000 Elizabeth P 1789238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fantastic dress, Viva.<br /> I hope you find your way to enjoy the cruise.

Belly shoes will also suits best with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1789107 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 17:14:29 +0000 MsMaven 1789107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've lost track of how many cruises I've been on, although I don't love them. What other way would I have ever sailed through the Straits of Magellan or visited the Falkland Islands?</p> <p>Cruise staffs provide endless entertainment--and it is a great time to pamper yourself with pedicures and try stuff you probably wouldn't do at home.&nbsp;</p> <p>DH and I always find plenty of time to read while sailing. In fact, I think it was the cruise to Alaska where DH, who seldom reads a book at home, read an entire 800+ page book.&nbsp;</p> <p>On our last couple of cruises we've done Anytime Dining. I think I prefer that.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love the dress. It's perfect for a cruise dinner. The version in Coral Reef is so tempting, even though I've sworn off dresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>Will you show us how the dress looks on? I'd love to see you in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1789079 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 15:36:31 +0000 unfrumped 1789079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with comments that there are lots of options for serenity even on cruise. Sea and sky. In ports you can people- watch and window shop or her cruise staff to identify an activity that's more your style - a secluded beach or nature walk or quiet cafe.<br /> Also though I struggle with travel capsules, it is a great opportunity to wear lovely fun colorful resort clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1789062 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 15:03:07 +0000 bella 1789062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super pretty!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1789061 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 14:59:17 +0000 Angie 1789061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw the frock yesterday. It's almost neon - which I like, and hope you do too. It's also quite short, which is a deal breaker for me unless it's worn over jeans, but could be fine for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1788914 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 02:18:51 +0000 Andrea H 1788914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a fabulous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1788912 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 02:08:24 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1788912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous dress and color! &nbsp;It will be perfect for summer, cruise, and afterwards. &nbsp;Great pick! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1788907 Sat, 18 Mar 2017 01:47:25 +0000 Anonymous 1788907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carnival has an adults-only Serenity deck where you can go relax. That's where we like to go. The nice thing about a cruise is that you can do as much or as little as you want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1788894 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 23:39:30 +0000 Bijou 1788894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can really imagine you in the dress, it is beautiful and so versatile, could be dressed up or down. So glad that you chose citron. Sometimes the holidays where you aren't expecting so much, can be the best ones. I would take a good stash of books.<br />Brooklyn my husband is not watching sports either (amazing to find an Australian male with this characteristic), something that I too am grateful for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1788887 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 23:19:49 +0000 Bonnie 1788887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - what a great find!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-true-summer-purchase#post-1788869 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 22:41:45 +0000 Brooklyn 1788869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a smashing dress.<br /> My husband is an introvert and doesn't care for sports. Two things I find myself grateful for every day. </p>
