I love the shoe color with it and agree that you could also wear those with a black dress for the second formal night and only bring one pair of dressy shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1640138 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 11:52:18 +0000 Anonymous 1640138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One thing about the jewelry that you might want to consider is that you said you'll be with people who will be "on the lower end of formal." I would assume, then, that they won't be wearing glitzy jewelry. If that's the case, then you might want to be sure to wear nice jewelry but try not to go OTT. I'm speaking from personal experience, of course, and your experience may be vastly different than mine. I just know that most of the people my DH and I know, including family, hardly ever dress up or own any type of special statement jewelry. I would feel awkward if I wore some of my jewelry around them. When my DH and I cruise alone, however, I dress up as much as I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1640014 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 02:30:16 +0000 CocoLion 1640014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on a few cruises and this looks fine for formal night. &nbsp;I would go for jewelry that photographs well. &nbsp;They always take lots of pictures on formal night. &nbsp;Since you are a strawberry blonde, do you have a necklace that is lighter and brighter than this dress? </p> <p>ETA -- either nude, pale silver/gray or sheer navy hose would work.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1639966 Wed, 06 Apr 2016 00:12:08 +0000 El Cee 1639966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress you have chosen is lovely and will be fabulous for formal night on the cruise. As others have pointed out, a lot of ladies wear shorter dresses instead of long gowns. I would probably accessorize with a statement necklace or earrings and a lovely clutch (in a print or perhaps in pewter to &nbsp;complement the shoes). And yes -- the shoes would also look great with a simple black sheath dress. Enjoy your cruise!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1639789 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 20:31:05 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1639789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that would be a lovely pairing! I'd probably wear pearls and some diamond earrings, but I think a more elaborate necklace as Rachylou suggests would be wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1639766 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 19:46:20 +0000 Anonymous 1639766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not everyone dresses super formally on formal night. There are plenty of women who wear shorter dresses or pantsuits. Practically anything goes as long as you're not too casually dressed. You'll be fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1639762 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 19:42:00 +0000 rachylou 1639762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a fabulous dress. You can do just about anything with this dress. Perfect for travel IMHO. For a formal dinner, I'd don my diamonds and emeralds and sapphires I.e., some bling. The shoes will go with black too, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1639761 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 19:41:11 +0000 Anonymous 1639761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will look just fine! I'm a veteran cruiser and have taken several 7-day Caribbean cruises. I think you've made good choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cruise-ship-formal-dinner-outfit#post-1639757 Tue, 05 Apr 2016 19:36:28 +0000 karen13 1639757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going on a 7 day Caribbean cruise with 3 generations of family. Most of the group will be on the lower end of the formal scale, so I don't want to go "too formal". So far I have found this navy jersey dress and pewter shoes, and was wondering:<br />1) if they will work together (not matching dress to shoes is a step outside my comfort zone!)&nbsp;<br />2) if so, what accessories/jewelry/hosiery would complete the outfit?<br />3) Would the shoes (pewter) work with a black dress (simple sleeveless empire waist sheath)?</p> <p>The navy dress is a bit shorter on me than the model (I'm 5'2" and it is a petite size S). I'm fair skinned, with very short strawberry blond hair.&nbsp; </p>
