Love it. You look sensational!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633975 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 03:32:58 +0000 Jaime 1633975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple is still great but #2 is terrific also. Agree the fit is off in the third. It looks too big to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633966 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 03:02:47 +0000 Anonymous 1633966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take both if you can fit them (and all their supporting acts) in your suitcase. That way, you have options and can go with how the mood strikes you! I agree with Vix that you can wear the floral in more casual settings with flat sandals. If you can only pack 1, I think the first dress is slightly more suited to a formal dinner. It's also a fantastic colour for you. Maybe a gorgeous necklace might help you feel more excited about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633953 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 02:24:59 +0000 unfrumped 1633953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to both also . It woukd be fun to have options, and these are perfect.<br /> For sure at least KEEP that purple dress. It would be great to keep updating formats, but good fits &amp; necklines are hard to find. Think about some different accessories down the road to make it feel fresh to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633934 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 01:27:43 +0000 Brooklyn 1633934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would take both if you can because they have a different vibe. No 1 is more formal and classic evening wear but no 2 is more fun and tropical. If you can't take both I vote no 2. It's more trendy and interesting to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633916 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 00:38:09 +0000 Karie 1633916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The floral dress is super fun and I would definitely take that on the cruise. The purple dress looks amazing on you and would also be perfect for formal night.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633910 Wed, 23 Mar 2016 00:26:48 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1633910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like Sally's idea. It's nice to see you in a dramatic evening look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633649 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:01:59 +0000 Vix 1633649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Sara --</p> <p>1 and 2 both look fantastic on you and I'd take both too. Just in case you feel you need the formality of the old standby....Seems like the floral would be easy to throw on for more casual meals/outings if needed or desired! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633574 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 10:39:22 +0000 JamC 1633574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the floral.

It looks more formal than #2. That said and depending on your cruise line, less formal also works. Often formal nights present more and special photo opportunities, so you could consider which dress you wish to wear with your family for pictures. Why not do as Dee suggests and take both? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633098 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 15:26:14 +0000 Dee 1633098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That purple dress looks amazing on you. Great color! I like that one for a formal night and the second one for a more casual evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633097 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 15:22:21 +0000 Gail 1633097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the print dress it looks fun and has the tropical feel.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633091 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:50:34 +0000 Anonymous 1633091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a frequent cruiser, I vote for #1. The other dresses are great, too. I always wear dresses at night, as we like to eat in the formal dining room. Not all nights are formal, so wearing a more casual dress is fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633087 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:39:30 +0000 Carole 1633087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 looks like the perfect dress for a formal night! I love the second dress, also, but it seems less formal, although it would still work for the formal night. You can't go wrong with either dress! Have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633084 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:34:32 +0000 Angie 1633084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you sure it's the right size - do you need a smaller size? I think it's right in the photo - but you'll know better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-dress-for-cruise#post-1633082 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:33:06 +0000 Angie 1633082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your old dress looks fab Sara, and #2 is gorgeous too.

Lauderdale.&nbsp; We're taking my two older boys and meeting my brother in Florida.&nbsp; My two-year old is staying with his grandparents and not cruising with us.&nbsp; I've cruised several times before and I'm&nbsp;trying to decide which dress to take for the formal dinner.&nbsp; </p> <p>#1 - Purple dress.&nbsp; I've had this for years and&nbsp;while I like it, I'm not particularly excited about it right now.&nbsp; </p> <p>#2 - New dress.&nbsp; I&nbsp;recently bought this and really like it.&nbsp; It's longer on me than the model.&nbsp; I would&nbsp;wear sandals with it but my summer shoes are packed away right now so I just tried it on with what I had handy.</p> <p>#3 -&nbsp;Another new dress but I'm not&nbsp;keeping it so I didn't bother styling it.&nbsp; I love it but it doesn't fit right.&nbsp; There's extra fabric at the back although I couldn't get a good photo of it.&nbsp; A larger size might skim over my hips and bum better,&nbsp;but&nbsp;it's already slightly wide at the arms so I think a bigger size wouldn't work.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> <p>Really, the question is just between #1 and #2.&nbsp; I have a couple other options in my closet that I could try if neither of these work.&nbsp; Thanks for you help!</p>
