I was actually able to fit everything listed in a carry on, with the exception of my makeup, dressy shoes, and evening gown. I am sure there are a ton of Pinterest articles on it, but what I did was roll everything and then stacked the rolls of clothes on top of each other. The nice thing about having almost everything in my carry on is that if the bag we check somehow gets lost in translation, I'll have *almost* everything with me.
THE VERDICT
I actually wore everything that I packed. I know that is pretty crazy. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is SHOES. Wear comfy shoes in Europe! Also, bring extra converters. Though that wasn't on my list, my husband brought his. Lastly, the hair dryer... make sure the watts are okay for international use. Mine... not so much!
I hope this post helps others when it comes to packing!
