People like to travel all over the world for leisure, work or business. If you are travelling overseas for an event and you will be mainly decked in suits aside from jeans during your time off from the event, we have a tip for the ladies. Pack a dress as well just in case you need to change your outfit to attend a last minute cocktail reception or dinner at a fancy restaurant.
A dress which is suitable for formal or semi-formal occasions would be good. A little black dress always does the trick.

What would be even better is if the dress is made out of a material which is always wrinkle-free or already has creases on it and additional creases will not make it look awful. You do not have to worry about ironing your dress especially if you are travelling and do not have the time to iron it or there is no need to request for the laundry team at your hotel to iron it for you.
You can always roll the dress into a small piece and then put it into a small paper bag to be inserted into your handbag. It might not fit into small handbags but an over-sized carryall tote would be able to keep your dress in it. Besides, an over-sized carryall tote is a popular item for travellers. Anytime you need to change your attire to a dress, voila, you have one ready in your bag. You do not need to travel back to your hotel to change and this saves time aside from the hassle to find transportation back to your hotel.

The dress seen in the previous picture, which is rolled up. It is not much bigger than the size of a map (placed below the dress). |
Have a nice time packing and a great time travelling when you get the chance to.
