I brought about 5 dresses - moved early November - haven't worn any of them yet, will probably take a couple on cruises (people go on a lot of cruises here - cheap last minute ones when you live in Florida and are retired
.
2 are basic black - one sort of winter and one summer. Couple are summer Hawaiian print type. Now that I've moved here and going to the occasional exercise class, I can fit in them again! Looking forward to our cruise in Feb. to wear them.
But, we are VERY casual types. Those who are into ballroom dancing might wear dresses more often. We hope to take the beginner class at La Hacienda - over and over and over (until we get it right). Don't think we have to dress up for that.
