Party Dress Try-On

 And TuesdayTwirl

Over 60s blogger Gail Hanlon searches for the right party dress for a cruise formal night. Nothing too short, too long, too revealing or frumpy.

Dear friends. It's been a few years since I bought a party or occasion dress. I had a few, mostly black, when I was working. But after my retirement, I got rid of them. I just didn't have the occasions to wear formal dresses. 

But now I'm going on my first cruise, 6 nights visiting France and Belgium. There's a formal night, so I've been searching for the right dress. I hope that if I like the cruise, there will be many more to come. More formal nights. 

You don't have to wear a dress on the formal nights. A smart blouse with trousers is fine. I had a contingency outfit lined up, a gold sequin top and cream trousers. But now I've found my perfect dress, so I can wear both outfits.
