Travel Smith you are probably sick of hearing about from me. What can I say - when Travel Smith stops being the best source of travel-friendly clothes and accessories, I'll stop talking about it. :-) While their main competitor - Magellan's is still sticking to the most basic travel attire choices for men and women, Travel Smith is definitely making some bolder strides to get away from travel sweats and into serious travel wardrobing, without forcing you to drag an old-fashioned steamer trunk wherever you go.

They do offer clothing in petite sizes from 6 to 18 and plus sizes from 16W to 26W - most of it washable, all of it wrinkle-resistant and eminently packable, as well as stylish, colorful and comfortable. Sadly, their shoe selection for women still leaves a lot to be desired - the shoes look borderline orthopaedic and the sizes only go from 6 to 10. Oh well...

IOS is sort of a more beachy, vacation-style version of Travel Smith. They are definitely more on a pricey side, but the clothes (sizes 6 - 18 or petite small to regular extra-large), shoes (6 - 10) and accessories are lovely - definitely something to consider if you want to throw a bit of color and sparkle into your wardrobe.

I have only discovered Soft Surroundings recently and haven't had a chance to order anything from them yet, but I was very impressed by their beautiful selection and - again - size options. Petite sizes range from petite 2 to 18, as do tall sizes, women's sizes range from 18 to 24. Shoe sizes go from 6 to 11. Their accessories, bed and bath offerings and home decor pieces are to die for, so definitely take a peek.

Ever since I ordered my wedding dress, there will only be one wedding attire seller for me - eBay's Silk Road Bridal. I know I raved about them last year in preparation for my wedding, but I'll say it again - all the snooty overpriced wedding boutiques with their misplaced orders, inaccurate measurements, late deliveries, too-expensive alterations and rude presumptuous associates can go to hell. (Those wedding boutiques that don't fit this description - sorry, guys, it's too bad that the rest of the establishments in the wedding attire industry give the five of you a bad name.)

I don't know, how many people told me that I was insane for ordering my wedding dress on line, but I did my homework on the seller and stood firm. I e-mailed with the seller representative for a couple of weeks, she sent me free color swatches
