Eddie Bauer Travex Line for Spring & CONTEST! (~OVER~)

I wrote about My 20-Year Affair with Eddie Bauer late last year, and I have really enjoyed my Eddie Bauer WeatherEdge Superior Down Parka this winter!  However, Spring is just around the corner, and it's time to think about the fun, carefree clothing (and weather) that go hand-in-hand with the season!

My friends at Eddie Bauer were kind enough to let me try out their awesome Eddie Bauer Travex Collection!  It's their exclusive series of gear and apparel made for trekking and travelling.  The clothes in the Travex Collection are lightweight, packable, stretchy, very comfortable and versatile.  Of special interest, Travex clothing are also UPF sun protective for your skin, wick moisture away, and dry quickly.   

Having tried the line, I can tell you that the clothing are very flattering on and feel very good against the skin.  The clothing also do not wrinkle very easily, so you there was no need for me to iron.  I first tried on the Travex Infinity Button-Down Shirt in Sugar Plum (purple), $59.95 usd.  I really loved it and see myself wearing this on a regular basis.  I loved that it is a long-sleeved shirt that converts to a short-sleeved shirt.  It also comes in black or vivid blue.

I paired the Travex Infinity Button-Down Shirt with the Eddie Bauer Travex Aster Convertible Skirt in black, $59.95 usd.  The skirt also felt great on and was very stretchy to fit nicely to your body.  There was also a wide belly band, which offers a bit of control.  Of interest, the skirt also converts with great versatility into the bandeau strapless dress, shown below.  It also comes in washed teal.

I next tried on the Eddie Bauer Travex Daisy Wrap in heather gray, also $59.95 usd.  It is also an extremely versatile, comfy, flowing piece--and a basic to any women's wardrobe.  I will definitely get a lot of use out of the Daisy Wrap, and I would highly recommend it for all figures and body types.  It is also available in black.

Last but not least, I put on the Eddie Bauer Travex Aster Dress in eggplant (purple), $79.95.  Okay, I love purple--I can't hide it!  The dress was very stretchy and form-fitting, but absolutely comfortable.  It was also available in black and washed teal (blue).  My husband really liked it and commented that it would be great for upcoming Spring functions.

I really love the pieces I have shown you on and think that the Eddie Bauer Travex line is great!  As mentioned earlier, I would recommend the pieces for every body type and figure.  I think that the pieces conformed to my body in a flattering way, and did not put an emphasis on problem areas.  I think you will also love the Travex line, even if you have had no luck with finding clothing that fit you well.

In regards to the sizing of the Eddie Bauer Travex sizing, I have to say that the sizing was very generous and you will feel flattered!  In the Infinity Button-Down shirt I went down one size, and in all other Travex items I went down two sizes.  If you are looking at the sizing chart on the Eddie Bauer website, please note that the measurements seem inaccurate--especially the waist measurements.  So if you are usually and XL, be prepared to buy a L or probably M!
