If you live in or are traveling to somewhere that is very HOT and HUMID… you definitely NEED this dress! The dress is activewear fabric, so it wicks away moisture/sweat, keeps you cool, doesn't wrinkle, and it’s super comfy! The flowy fit is also ideal for hot and sticky weather. (AND, it has the added bonus of being very forgiving in the tummy area.) The dress also has some beautiful and feminine movement. Another major plus for your upcoming trips… this dress takes up almost NO room in your suitcase. It’s a must-have if you're not checking a bag. I wore this during the day with sandals or sneakers and at night with wedges to dress it up a bit more. It runs TRUE TO SIZE. I’m wearing a small. ~Erin xo LTKSeasonal LTKTravel
