Royal Robbins Ponte Travel Dress in Dark Teal
Whenever I’m packing for a trip, I often end up having to choose between stylish and trendy versus comfortable and low maintenance. These days, with limited space in carry-on’s and strict weight restrictions, it has become even more imperative that one choose carefully before packing. An outfit which can multitask in different situations is rare to find. So I was thrilled to discover that Royal Robbins offers a stylish Ponte Travel Dress, which you can dress up or down depending on your mood and the occasion. Thanks to Royal Robbins, I was able to try out the Ponte Travel Dress myself and I must say I am quite impressed with its versatility!

The travel dress is made of an elastic material (but not too stretchy) and boasts several features which I’m sure all travelers will adore. Firstly, it is wrinkle resistant and does not crease easily! So you can stuff it into any available space in your carry-on or backpack. It is also quick to dry, so no more dealing with damp clothes when you are in urgent need of something to wear. For the outdoorsy person, this dress features UPF 50+, so you can roam about all you want in the sunshine and not worry about forgetting your sunscreen.

The sleeves are 3/4th length which I prefer because it covers most of my arms, yet does not feel as constricting as a full-arm length would. The proportions on this dress are very flattering for women of all shapes and sizes. The princess-cut seams ensures a flowing comfortable fit. Great attention has been paid to details like the buttons on the cuffs and the mid-length zipper down the front.

The “ponte” material is made of 72% Polyester, 25% Rayon and 3% Spandex. It is double-knit and soft to touch. In summer, you can wear this knee-length dress as-is and accessorize with some brightly colored items like a purse, hat and sandals. In cooler seasons, you can dress this up with warm woolen tights and boots for a chic urban look. You can even put on your hiking shoes and head out for a stroll on a nearby trail if you’re feeling up to it. I wore this a few times during afternoon walks at a nearby park and evening strolls around the city and found the dress to be a perfect fit for both occasions.
The only thing I’m not a big fan of are the dual chest pockets. I generally don’t prefer chest pockets on any dress or outfit, but you might like it as a handy feature! The pockets do look elegant and add character to the dress, but I don’t see myself using them for actually storing anything.

The Royal Robbins Ponte Travel dress makes you feel like you’ve effortlessly dressed up for the occasion. Isn’t that something all of us love getting a compliment for? I also love that the Travel Dress comes in several colors (Dark Teal, Jet Black and Tan) and the sizes go from XS through XL. The dresses run true to size. I got the one in Dark Teal and after seeing how comfortable these are to travel in, and how lightweight they are to pack, I am tempted to get another one in Tan! How about you?
