Stupid idea. When she finds out she needs a nice dress to get into a restaurant, she will end up spending 2 or 3 times the money….and wasting your vacation time shopping. If you are limited on space, bring a simple dress that can do double-duty as a walk-around-siteseeing dress and can be dressed up with things like jewelry and scarves and a pair of dressy shoes for evening. I’ve done this when I only had a few days in Barcelona and knew that my connecting flight would was too close for my luggage to make the connection from one plane to another. I barely made it myself! —Also, I always bring a bathing suit. Takes no space and even if there is no swimming, there might be a hotel pool or spa/sauna where you might want it. -————-Remember, that in some countries (like Italy), you must be decently covered to get into some churches. No short-shorts, mini skirts, bare midriffs and I believe (but don’t quote me), sleeveless shirts/dresses (have a sweater with you).

You can still dress appropriately without taking too many clothes.

well it’s fine to be an American tourist but you really don’t want it to be obvious by your clothing :D
