It does fall just above my knees and has a small gold embellishment where the wrap attaches to the rest of the dress. My sleeves are much shorter as well. The fabric is a light, non-wrinkling knit. I expect to get great use from this dress.
Because I get cold, I usually stick with jeans and slacks when we travel. I can see bringing this dress and black leggings.
“@conmama - with a curling iron, you’ll need a power converter as well as a plug adaptor or you’ll fry your appliance. Converters are a bit heavy.”
No, you don’t necessarily need a converter if the iron is dual voltage (mine all are). Check the sticker or tag on it. If it says 110V/220V, you are good with just a simple plug adapter.
The biggest advantage with packing cubes is if you move from place to place. If you are just going to one place and unpacking not as big a deal for keeping organized.
Note - You can also use 2 gallon ziplock bags. That’s what my kids like to do, especially for the yukky running clothes stuff.
I find that the ziplock bags retain air in them and hence don’t squish down sufficiently. I find it works well to pack shoes in regular plastic grocery bags and then use those for separating dirty laundry or alternatively, pack a pillowcase for the dirty laundry.
