Dress for travel

pinkmochi · ‎05-15-2011

Just wanted to let you know about a dress I've bought in three colors. Started out with the gorgeous ember, then ordered a black, and just ordered the monument (gray). It's on HSN item #655-153, and it's a cocoon dress by Marla Wynne:

I think it'll be great for travel since you can wear it as a dress, or you can rouche it up over pants or leggings and wear as a top if it gets cooler. You can also wear it casually or with heels for dinner. It would also be comfortable as a nightgown. I love that you can wear it multiple ways. It's a really soft fabric, about t-shirt weight. I didn't order the canvas because I would expect that one to be too see-through to wear as a dress, but maybe some would wear it as a bathing suit cover-up. Marla said that she sizes up, but I ordered true-to-size. I'm bringing these on my upcoming trip to Portland, but I wish I had these in Italy!

@pinkmochi Did you originally comment on these dresses under “fashion”? Someone did and I bought a bluish gray dress because of it. I haven’t had an opportunity to wear, but loved how it looked and agree that it would travel well.

@Alter Ego Yes, I did post about the dress in the Marla Wynne thread. I decided to post in this forum since I thought it'll be great for travel, in case people don't check that thread. I'm glad that you also like the dress!

Nice, but I'd want a scoop neck.

Auntg, how much more of a scoop neck would you need?

@phoenixbrd I'm short (5'1"), and it comes a little below my knee, so it's modest enough for entering churches. Your shoulders are also covered, and it would look nice with a scarf. I'm jealous that you're going to Italy! Have a great time, and eat some gelato for me!
