Headed to the beach? A maxi dress in a comfortable fabric is a great option for the plane. The loose fabric of the dress won’t get in your way, and it’s the perfect foundation piece to layer with a lightweight cardigan. As for shoes, espadrille wedges are a must for any beach vacation, and you’ll save space by wearing them on the plane, and packing a pair of flat sandals.
For overnight flights, comfort is definitely the first priority, especially if you want to try and sleep on the plane. I’ve moved beyond wearing my pajamas and have graduated every-so-slightly to athleisure wear on overnight flights – which is just as comfortable.

Fit Advice: The Regular Chrysalis Cardi is a one size fits most garment ranging from sizes XS-XXL or 2-14. It can be easily belted in multiple ways, however the Regular is not recommended for petite or shorter woman due to the volume of fabric - See Petite Cardi. The Regular is also not recommended for curvier/taller women due to fabric pulling around the bust or bottom - See Maxi Cardi.
We recommend watching the how-to wear videos to see how much fabric drape and length you would like in your finished garment. If you are in between sizes, it is best to size up and the garment can always be tailored shorter to better suit your look - you cannot add more fabric unfortunately!
• The Petite is best suited for women 5'4" and under with a smaller frame, although it will also work on women above this height (depending on preferred length when styled).
• The Maxi is best suited for all women under 6’0” with a curvier shape to eliminate any uncomfortable fabric pulling, although it will also work on women who are a bit less curvy (depending on preferred length when styled).
Model's Measurements: Isabel shown in both the Petite and Regular Chrysalis Cardi product shots is approximately 5'10" tall and a size 2-4 (S). Jessica shown in the Maxi Chrysalis Cardi product shots is approximately 5'3" tall and a size 12-14 (XXL). Anthea shown in the beach shot is 5'4" tall and a size 2-4 (S).

Fit Advice: We recommend staying with your usual size if you are in between sizes. The cut on The Dressy Sweatpants is more generous and the fit is meant to be drapey and slightly harem. Therefore, it's better if they don't fit snug.
Model's Measurements: Isabel shown in the product shots is approximately 5'10" tall and a size 2-4 (S) is wearing a size small in Black, Navy, and Smoke Dressy Sweatpant. Daria is 5'4" tall and a size 0-2 (XS) and is wearing an extra small in the Slate Grey Dressy Sweatpant.

| Front Length / Back Length | 24 - 31" | 24 - 31" | 24 - 31" | 24 - 31" | 24 - 31" | 24 - 31" |
Fit Advice: The Essential Long Sleeve Top fits a bit larger than our usual Tees. We suggest to order true to your normal size, however since the styling is more flowy and forgiving than our other Encircled Tees it is suggested to size down if you prefer a tighter look. If you want a tighter fit, size down. The length can be hemmed by a tailor. As the fabric has a natural stretch, it will stretch to fit within ~1-2" of the measurements shown around the chest and hips.

Fit Advice: The Reversible Pencil Skirt fits true to size, but it's suggested to size up if you fall between sizes. The pencil skirt offers a smooth silhouette that slightly tapers from waist to hips and down through to the hem, hitting just at knee length. A pencil skirt should smoothly skim your curves, so to get a perfect fit, first identify your largest measurement then choose the size offering that range while still allowing for some stretch. The fabric on The Reversible Pencil skirt has a natural stretch, that will stretch to fit within ~1-2" of the measurements shown.
