Eileen Fisher makes a viscose crepe that packs really well – wrinkles fall right out if you hang it overnight. I went overseas with all that brand in a carry-on for 2 weeks. 3 skirts, 2 light jackets, a shawl for the cold, a fancy silk scarf for dress-up, a few knit silk tops and a bunch of undies. You can wash the knit silk and crepe in a sink. Mostly black with color in the tops and scarves. One pair of nice medium wedges and one pair of ‘fancy’ but flat walking shoes. And there were still things I didn’t wear!!

I second your exclamation about rayon, Musette! It’s amazing how much packs into a small bag, and it’s the easiest thing in the world to wear.

Musette, was that you I heard last night???

I coulda sworn that it was the neighbors, but since you party so hearty, I’m giving you credit

Ooh, I hope you feel better, Patty. Being even just a little bit sick is a drag when you are on vacation.

Yep, we heard plenty of boisterous laughter in Paris, especially one late Bastille night on the metro. We were jammed in there, no A/C, and the train just stopped dead. It must have been 100 degrees down there! Out of nowhere, a group of four ladies just started talking and laughing and having a good ole time. (Must have been the Bastille Day champagne.) Their boisterous outbursts really went a long way in soothing our tired, hot and frayed nerves. Before we knew it, the train was moving again.

Is there really a Pratesi outlet in Italy? I say, “Go for it!” if there is.

Hugs!
