Travelsmith Black Dress
Has anyone purchased and used the Travelsmith black travel dress? If so, did it pack (and unpack) well? Is the fabric just like the Travelers line at Chicos? I am most comfortable on vacations in skirts or dresses, so am considering adding this to my wardrobe. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the responses! (Especially the reference to travelite.org, which I had bookmarked at one point and lost when we moved PCs at the office.)<BR><BR>Betsyh, I did do a search for Travelsmith, but a lot of the results were about other Travelsmith items and I didn't do a very good job making my search more specific.

I ordered the travelsmith dress and I was very disappointed with it, the material is cheap looking and it wrinkles and the wrinkles are hard to get out without an iron. I would not recommend it, I think Chicos travel clothes are much more stylish and better material.

As much as I travel and should know better, I go thru "wardrobe hysteria" before every trip, thinking I have to purchase specialized clothing. I go through catalog after catalog, mall after mall... and the bottom line is that I wear my normal clothes that I wear at home, and it's just FINE : )

I ordered quite a few items from Travelsmith a year or so ago in preparation for a trip. Just like Nancy, I too was highly disappointed with the quality of the clothing. It looked and felt cheap, and the sizes did not seem to be properly proportioned. I usually order a small in most things and they fit me well. The Travelsmith small sizes were way too big for me. I ended up returning the entire order. I wouldn't recommend this company.

Just received my LLBean order of their modern knit separates, I think they are wonderful 70%rayon(viscose) 26%polyester and 4% Lycra to me they seem dressier looking than other travel separates I have purchased, there is a dress but I wanted separates, they are in their newest catalogue and also in the stores. Happy shopping, I want to find clothes that I can just throw in a carryon whatever season I'm traveling, still trying to get it all together. DeborahAnn

Gidge,<BR><BR>I have traveled in VanHausen black knit pants,jackets and skirts. I believe they also include a dress with this line. I love the material they are made of . They do not wrinkle and you can wash and drip dry them for wear your next day of travel. I also wear them to work.

Hi gidge,<BR>I would skip Travelsmith and just go shopping for a nice black dress with a good percentage of rayon in it. Rayon packs well, wrinkles less and if wrinkled, they will go after hanging it in the shower for a few minutes.<BR>Banana Republic and JCrew used to carry nice dresses and skirts like this, Chicos is another. <BR>The clothing that I have seen from many of these so called "Travel clothes" stores is usually cheap looking and not very nice but expensive.<BR>
