The gowns have arrived this morning. This was a lovely surprise as I never received any notification that they had shipped. I suddenly got an email from our ladies in the sales office to let me know that there are a couple of packages for me. I was expected one from
Amazon, but had no idea what the second one may be. In the end it turned out that it was actually three packages and two of them were the gowns. Two of them were roughly what I had expected, but even prettier than what I had hoped for. One is a true Wedgwood blue with bright royal blue accents and the other is a pale lilac with Cadbury purple accents. I have decided to wear the blue one for the second formal night and the lilac one for semi-formal night.
The dress that I had made for the first formal night with the Golden Mickeys theme was a surprise. There must have been something lost in translation between the manufacturer in China and me. The dress is gold as I had requested, but instead of the dark blue embroidery that I had requested, it is actually a lovely shade of dark purple. I think I prefer this to what I had originally pictured.

. But it is great wandering round and seeing you all. I hope more of you do so this time though I understand those not wanting to for whatever reason(packing, flights, dislike of dressing up etc) We have come late to cruising, formal nights and dressing up like this in general. Never went to balls etc. So it is still special. We always change for dinner anyway.
to the newbies. Well, my tux no longer fits and alterations are out of the question as I have lost too many pant sizes and hope to lose at least one more before the cruise.
As ZZ Top would Quate about a Sharp Dressed Man, you got to love that James Bond Look.
I at least can wear my Mickey vest with my Sport Coat and tie.
Ladies you look Marvelous as I knew you would and of course-Carry on.
