Strapless dress for Palo brunch?

[LizGirl]

I have a summery strapless sundress that is at least knee length. Will this be allowed at Palo? I know they restrict beach wear and this is definitely nicer.

 

[CamColt]

If its a dress and not a beach cover up I would imagine it would be allowed but as with everything, that is up to their judgement.

Also the shoes need to be NOT flip flops - even dressy ones. Fully strapped around the ankle sandals should be ok. But nothing resembling a flip flop. They ARE strict on that.

Do you have a shawl or shrug you could pair with it? I've worn sleeveless dresses to Palo brunch but always with a sweater because I get cold in there.

honestly between the t shirts and casual wear I recently witnessed at brunch last week, I would hope they'd encourage and welcome your dress.... my goodness I was surprised at some of the casual attire at brunch... I think they allowing jeans was a bad move.... the dinner was fine, everyone really looked nice

agree with PP, it was CHILLY in Palo so bring a wrap just in case

Okay, so I am very, very limited on shoes that I can wear because of foot problems. Flip flops are the only kind of shoe I wear. I can wear crocs, but they are less dressy than my flip flops. So what should I wear.

Get an inexpensive pair of flats to wear.

If you can wear flip-flops, why can't you wear a pair of basic sandals?

 

[connie1042]

I have really bad bunions. Do not fit most toe areas. Foot will not fit.

 

[connie1042]

Those I could do. Thanks. I don't understand why that little strap makes these ok. But whatever.

Basically, flip-flops are rubber/plastic beach or pool wear. Those sandals are "dressier", more shoe-like because they are leather (or faux-leather).

Or get a floor-length maxi dress that covers your feet.

I wore these orthotic flip flops from Vionic in black and didn't have any issues going to Palo Brunch on the Fantasy almost a year ago.

It really depends on who is at the podium. I have seen people told they needed to change flip-flop-style sandals that were much dressier than that. Better to be prepared than either have to go back and change or get charged for a meal you don't get to eat.

I wore flip-flop style sandals to Palo dinner and brunch one month ago on the Fantasy. They were shiny faux leather (I think one pair was rose gold and one was silver and white?) and not rubber, but they did not have an ankle strap. No one said a word. My opinion is that you will be fine.

Shorts, on the other hand -- a number of years ago they made my poor father go back to the room to change out of his khaki shorts for brunch - a rule is a rule but the poor guy had Parkinson's. But yeah - they were strict on that one.
