A fabulous maxi dress with side slits, the pattern is amazing and the fabric is super for travel. It packs into nothing and Will Not Wrinkle! The empire waist and A-line silhouette helps it to skim over your body, flattering your shape without clinging. The Columbia Freezer fabric will keep you cool and protects with 50 SPF. 15" armpit to armpit. The print is gorgeous - hard to describe, but "mosaic" works. This runs a bit long, I'm 5'2" and would need heels. This dress is totally one to toss in your bag when you think your trip might include a dinner out but you don't want to weigh yourself down. Love!
