Lace Dresses for evening wear

No, wear them, you’ll look lovely.

What a coincidence, yesterday a neighbour showed me some new dresses she had bought to go on her regular yearly cruise, two of them were lace, one a dark blue knee length the other green/multi midi, both lovely.

My DD goes to functions and I know that she has a long sleeved lace sleeved evening dress. I'd wear them!

Our daughter just wore navy long sleeve lace. Lovely and in style.

Thank you all!! I now have confidence to pack them! Shall buy a couple of new staples as well, I think.

Is it one of those cruises where you have to dress formally for dinner? Quite a few no longer require or expect that. I used to enjoy dressing for formal nights on Cunard but since discovering Viking cruises those days are over for DH and I.

Indeed. Viking cruises are great - no dress for dinner faff.

We sailed on Queen Mary 2 in December. I took my full length lace dress with me and wore it to the formal night. There were quite a few ladies in lace dresses.
Take them and wear them, they are not out of date.

I don't think lace, like pearls, ever goes out of fashion. Your dresses will be perfect.

I love lace. Perfect for your cruise, and certainly not ‘old hat’.

I love lace too but, when I read the post saying lace and pearls never goes out of fashion, Hinge and Bracket flashed through my mind! The dear ladies. So funny. Sadly both died now.

Lace on is very trendy at the moment and a cruise is the natural place to wear it.

Good quality lace is never out of fashion!

In the past , I've thrown out much loved clothes because they were out of fashion .

I think that lace is perennial and never out of style .

If you like something wear and enjoy it -never mind what's in and out of fashion !

Lily, we have had a few cruises, first time I was I a real stew about what to wear on formal evenings. My friend gave me sound advice " just pack a couple of long skirts and a a selection of tops" suited me fine , I prefer full length skirts ot floaty evening trousers, so it worked well for me. There is often sush a fuss about ' formal evenings ' I never take it too seriously now. Wear what you are comfortable in! and enjoy your cruise.

Oh and most importantly, wear very comfy shoes !!!

i love lace dresses

Hope not I have 2!

On cruises Ive seen the best and the worst dressers 🤣 ….wear whatever you like, anything goes and retro dresses are very popular. Enjoy …..

If you’re comfortable in your lace dresses take them and wear them, I think lace dresses are pretty x

I love dresses by Bombshell and there is a new range of stunning lace dresses on their website. Sadly, I have no occasion to buy one for.

If you like them feel good and feel comfortable in them, wear them.That’s all that matters. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to dress any longer thank goodness. And in any case who cares what anyone else thinks ?

No, No, certainly not old hat they are lovely I’ve got one I’ve had for few years and when I wear it always get compliments always looks smart, you wear them with pride!

I wore a lace dress to a wedding at the weekend, didn’t feel out of place at all although I’d had it a number of years and had only worn it once to another wedding.
