It's great!! </p> <p>You will lose your mind when you see what some other people will wear. "Elegant" is a very relative term. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129590 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 14:48:17 +0000 reyorra 2129590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That dress is really pretty and the scalloping looks like waves! Enjoy your trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129569 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 14:29:58 +0000 catlady 2129569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That dress is so cute and perfect for a cruise. Also, I just went on a cruise and obsessed over making sure we all had the "appropriate" formal and semi-formal wear, but when we were actually there, I realized that it was definitely not a big deal if you weren't in the "right" attire. There were people in super casual stuff at our formal night, and people in formal stuff at the semi-formal night, and no one batted an eye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129554 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 14:01:25 +0000 Cole 2129554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! I was hoping to find something that I could wear repeatedly and this fits the bill as opposed to renting something or getting a cocktail dress! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129500 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:26:07 +0000 petunia354 2129500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I was on a cruise a few months ago and you definiteilyl will see a little bit of everything. Some people in shorts, some people in gowns. TBH, I wore a long black dress and felt like I maybe I overdid it so your dress falls perfectly in the middle! I think it'll be great, don't overthink it :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129484 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:12:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2129484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129483 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:12:17 +0000 snowjewelz 2129483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree w/ others! A statement necklace, bling, nice shoes would do the trick! On cruises there are still people that are way under and over dressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129480 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:12:04 +0000 daniellemybelle 2129480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think with sparkly jewelry this would be perfect! Very pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129479 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:11:27 +0000 Meowkers 2129479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think that dress works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129477 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:10:35 +0000 bunnylove08 2129477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its perfect. You can get a statement bracelet and earrings and call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129471 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 13:07:43 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2129471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That dress is perfect for the formal night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129443 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 12:49:11 +0000 Oliviapope 2129443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you are crazy - I've seen a wide range on cruises. I like the navy better though - I like Loft for necklaces, maybe they have something to add a little sparkle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129441 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 12:48:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 2129441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That dress is PLENTY dressy for the cruise formal nights, especially with heels and/or jewelry! There will be some women in full-on gowns, but also plenty in non-“formal-wear” like khaki pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-make-this-dress-cocktail-attire-acceptable#post-2129431 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 12:43:37 +0000 Cole 2129431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going on a cruise and I need a dress for the "cruise elegant" evening which I think is technically black tie optional but most men just wear suits and women are all over the map. Any way to make this dress work? We will be with my husband's family and I suspect both sils will be wearing cocktail dresses- the one is getting married on this trip so she may still be in her dress. If not what about this one? <a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens_clothing/weartowork/PRDOVR~B8296/B8296.jsp?color_name=navy&#038;srcCode=FAAFFI00001&#038;siteId=.2nGiS3mv0Y-mnmeYbCPNfbk3hAjSc8mMw&#038;un_jtt_v_pdp=yes" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/womens_clothing/weartowork/PRDOVR~B8296/B8296.jsp?color_name=navy&#038;srcCode=FAAFFI00001&#038;siteId=.2nGiS3mv0Y-mnmeYbCPNfbk3hAjSc8mMw&#038;un_jtt_v_pdp=yes</a><br /> Back up is rent the runway so I won't be heartbroken if you tell me I am crazy. </p> [attach=2228/15/nm52kp.600x600.B8305_BK0001.jpg]
