14. La Ligne Strapless Vivian Dress

I have this in a light blue and I love it. The quality is unmatched compared to other brands which is why it's pricey. It's well worth spending money on good quality fabrics especially since you'll be in hot weather. Polyester and synthetic fabrics will heat you up in the summer! Trust me.

19. Abercrombie Flowy Tiered Maxi Dress

Comes in other patterns too! One verified buyer said, "I love this dress! It's super flowy and light weight. I would recommend that you size down if you want a more cinched looked because usually I wear a small, but had to size down to x-small. The back is adjustable but there was still a little too much room for me. Another feature that I love about this dress is that it has pockets! Overall, amazing dress!"


It also comes in a similar short mini dress version too.

It fits really well, accentuates my waist and its very comfortable and stylish at the same time. The perfect summer dress (100% cotton). Can be worn with flats, wedges or heels. I loved the detail of the straps in the back and the uneven hem, gives it an interesting movement. Will definitely order in the chocolate color."

How to Pick the Perfect Travel Dress For Europe

Traveling to Europe is always exciting, but the outfits you choose play a huge part in the experience. Selecting the right travel dresses can truly enhance your trip and the memories you create. Starting with versatile, lightweight dresses that transition perfectly from day to evening wear is crucial. This approach not only saves luggage space but also offers great value. Aim for breathable, wrinkle-resistant materials like linen and cotton for effortless elegance. And if you're a fan of silk, consider packing a portable clothing steamer to keep your looks fresh. Whether you're wandering through the south of France, strolling along the Seine, or soaking up the sun at Il Pelicano (for those in the know), choosing the perfect travel dress that reflects your personal style is essential.

Travel Dresses For Italy and South of France

When traveling to Italy or the south France, there are a lot of dress options you can go with. It all really depends on where you're going and the activities you'll be doing. For days where you'll be exploring vineyards or coastal towns, go for a flowy maxi dress. If you're planning more urban adventures, such as museum tours or exploring a city, opt for a comfortable midi dress with comfortable walking shoes. For a more fancier outing, like a dinner at a nice restaurant, opt for a more elegant dress


Wherever you'll be going, just remember that the key is to choose dresses that not only match the setting, but also make you feel confident and comfortable as you create unforgettable memories.
