She can bring as many as will fit in her suitcase.... For me, it's not the number of outfits, it's the space in suitcase that matters.
Ladies, can you post links to the kinds of dresses you're bringing? We have a 7 day WC scheduled for June and I need help packing. I wear jeans everyday to work and am not a dress person. So I guess I need to go shopping.
I like to bring a dress for every night, I like to have options. If I only have one choice and I don't feel like wearing it, I get cranky. I do try to find 2 pairs of shoes that will go with all of them. Shoes are the big space hogs.
Let her bring as many as she likes or you'll have to listen to her complain when she's not comfortable. (That's what my DH would say from experience.)
Ok, I brought 5 cocktail type dresses for our 7 night in September. I really only needed 4, but I like to have options. I did bring dresses that went with 2 different pairs of shoes. So I didn't need 5 different pairs of shoes.
Here is what I wore to Remy:

Here is my Palo Dress (it is a lot fuller than this picture.):

This is similar to my formal night dress:

Then I brought a couple more dresses like this for informal and a backup:

On the casual nights I wore sundress or skirt type wear. So I brought 8 dresses total. I find a sundresses much more comfortable than a pair of jeans. I also brought a couple of dressy capris with blouses. But I wear those to things like Palo brunch.
Thanks for the links. I do not like dresses and am very frugal, so I have a feeling this shopping trip won't be enjoyable.
Just got a great cruise cocktail dress for myself at Ross for $15! Love them!

And of course you don't need a dress. If you would like to dress up, do you have a pair of black pants? You could do one pair of black pants and a different shirt for each night. No need to be completely out of your element!
