scurrymd Posted March 19, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2022 My husband and I are planning a 4 month trip to Australia and NZ and are planning on cruising there from the US. We will be doing a lot of traveling and hiking while in Aus/NZ so want to limit how much luggage we are bringing. Was wondering if anyone has gotten a reversible dress they would recommend?

lsb48154 Posted March 19, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I have a couple of reversible dresses from White House Black Market. (Navy/Floral and Burgundy/Animal print) They pack well, but are rather heavy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdw1972 Posted March 19, 2022 #3 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I've never seen a reversible dress - not sure I'd ever want one. But, I have dresses that I can easily repeat because I bring different things to go with them. For example, a black & white striped dress of mine (folds up easily) I can wear by itself, with a red sweater/shrug, and with a black sweater/shrug. I guess I could wear it with a white one as well, but haven't paired them to see if it will look good. Sue/WDW1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slidergirl Posted March 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Look at the American Giant website. It just put up some Tshirt dresses for the Spring/Summer. I've had a little Black Tshirt dress since 2007 and it's my travel go-to. Dresses up with jewelry/sweater/scarf or wear with sneakers or sandals. Nice price point, too. Every reversible dress I've looked at seemed just heavy and would be hot in the Summer. I think they are usually polyester, which does not breathe at all.

CarolSW Posted March 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Found this on Travelsmith…. https://www.travelsmith.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=MB9224+BKW+XL I have liked some of their stuff for travel and comfort. I can’t specifically speak to this dress, but at least it’s on sale right now. ETA - I tried to search Magellans also, and found, to my surprise, they are one and the same with Travelsmith. Interesting. Found these too….. Reversible “overpiece” but looks like it might could be used as a dress frankandoak.com hsn.com stitchfix.com serengetifashions.com Just tying to help,,,,I love the “hunt” of shopping!! Best of luck to you on your search, and have a wonderful time on your amazing trip! Edited March 20, 2022 by CarolSW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like being heavy is a common theme on these dresses…I may wind up just doing two lightweight dresses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie1229 Posted March 28, 2022 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I have a reversible dress from Chicos that I LOVE. I wish they would offer more of them. One side has a beautiful floral pattern on a coral background, and the other side is a leopard print. Very different looks. Lightweight and can be rolled up. short sleeve and hits just above the knee. I also have a dress from White House Black Market that is reversible: solid raspberry on one side and flowers on the other. WHY don't more places make reversible dresses? I typically would only wear in the evening at dinner and show, so not getting the dress dirty or sweating etc. so why not wear the next night reversed? Maybe I need to start designing some of my own!

kaymoz Posted March 30, 2022 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2022 This isn't a comment on the dress question since I've never tried a reversible dress, but I wonder if the OP could kindly tell us who she is sailing to Australia with -- that's something I want to do!

islandgirlejfan Posted March 31, 2022 #10 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I had a reversible dress that I just moved on.....I had reversible pants as well until last winter. The dress was made very nice, but I purged items and that was one of the things that didn't make the cut. I would honestly tell you to search out Poshmark rather than buy something new. I have three reversible skirts (one of them will be going on our trip to Europe this year) and all came from Poshmark. I've been happy with the sellers there 99% of the time. As a light packer, they really come in handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going on Celebrity this time. We went in 2018 with Royal Caribbean and had a wonderful trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
