Queen Mary '08-Whose going and what are you wearing??

[RebeccaMUA]

Sooo...this will be my first year going and I was just wondering who is going and what are you planning on wearing? I want to compare notes and make sure I won't be too under/overdressed

 

[Miss Neecerie]

one of the best methods for knowing....is to look at pictures of past QM's

Last years are http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=25229


That being said...Sir Winston's is a formal restaurant.

Everything else....ie the ship itself...is filled with tourists in t-shirts....so anything one wears ends up being appropriate.

Those were beautiful! Thanks Miss Neecerie

 

[RebeccaMUA]

Very lovely! Thanks for the link I won't be able to attend Sir Winston's as I have a previous engagement for Saturday night, but I have somewhat of an idea what I can pull together for Friday night's dinner. Thanks again

So we need daytime depending if we go somewhere, have a picnic or whatever for Fri, Sat and Sun. And then a nicer dress for Friday night and cocktail or evening gown for Sat. Night? Oh, and the pajama party. That's what I'm aiming for. And depending on the weather, a jacket or coat. Of course if anyone doesn't have vintage they shouldn't let that stop them. The whole idea is to have fun.

pajama party?

That wasnt on the agenda i saw....hmmmm

 

[Idledame]

You're right! I recall people talking about a pajama party when they were discussing the QM event several months ago. I didn't notice it wasn't on the agenda. I guess that's one less thing I have to sew, though now I have patterns, and silk that I bought so I guess I should make them anyway.

 

[Idledame]

We could of course have an unofficial pajama party...providing I get mine done in time!

 

[Miss Crisplock]

That's a good idea! Except now I need to sew pyjamas...cat's pyjamas.

Bring extra outfits!

Nothing worse than being 500 miles from home and discovering a problem with your dress.

I always keep spare everything in my car.. cause you never know what will happen Its a closet away from home Well.. the duffle bag is..

There have been so many times where I have torn something... spilled something... broken a heel.. and the list can go on... and thank goodness for the x-tra outfit or pair of shoes in the car

I agree - it's a great idea to take along spare stuff especially when wearing vintage - and a sewing kit!

I'm going down to Orange County this weekend for only 3 nights and 2 sheduled events and you'd think I was going away for a month with outfits for me and the hubby! and hair stuff, and make up, and and and.....and to leave room to hit up a couple shops too!!

Have fun at the Queen Mary - we were gonna go but the dreaded 30 year high school reunion ate up the fun budget.

and Disneyland

I was planning on being at the event for two days, wearing a late-Edwardian suit for the first day and a Jazz-era suit for the second. Sort of spanning the time of the great ship. If resources allow I may pick up a set of pyjamas as well, although at this late date I don't think I could do the occasion justice. A silk set with a smoking jacket and slippers would be so much fun, but there is always next year, of course.

pssst....this is a Powder Room thread just in case you might not have noticed....its not -necessarily- a girls only thread, but might have more to discuss with the gents on wardrobe then with us.

Everyone looks so amazing from last year! I was trying to find information about the event on the Queen Mary's site but couldn't seem to manage my way around. :eusa_doh:

Yes, I know. I wanted to contribute the idea of wearing outfits that span the time of the Queen Mary on different days. I have plenty that I like to discuss with women, including wardrobes.

Ah, silly me. I assumed they would have it. Thank you for the link.
