Our 100% virgin Italian wool is nothing short of a dream—part of its production involves being boiled, giving it a noticeably felted appearance. Our Merino wool, both the French Merino wool mix (20% Merino wool, 80% acrylic) and the 100% Italian extra fine Merino wool, are of fine fibers resulting in soft, lighter, and more flexible garments.
Care: Gentle care required—dry clean only. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat when needed. Iron on low heat.
Stretch: None.
Our European wool blend is the thickest selection of our yarns. This yarn is a balance of 30% wool and 70% acrylic fibers - making it soft to the touch and more comfortable on the skin than traditional wool yarns.

"Fits beautifully- very feminine Did have to purchase a new balconette bra for the dress - that worked I do find the last couple of dresses I purchased were a little tight under my armpits - not a big deal breaker Love everything I have purchased from Marcella!"
"Really short waisted for me But otherwise …. Love it"
"I purchased a large because many people mentioned zipper. I purchased that because I am a little more barrel chested and didn’t know how much give the dress would have. The top is a bit stretchy and I think ordering a medium would suit me just fine. The skirt material is light and would not be a dress that is too heavy for the summer. I also purchased the petite size and do wish it was just a little bit shorter. I’m 5’3”, 45 years or age, roughly 180 and will be ordering a medium soon enough as the top has a little more give and stretch. It’s worth every penny. The ONLY downside. The pockets do not really hold anything in them when you sit down. I used a small wallet the day I wore it and the keys to my car and both items fell out several times. I wish that could be corrected. But I’ll just carry a purse."
"I love this dress so much! Chic and comfortable and the pockets are great."
"Vibrant color, cool fabric for hot days, flattering fit. Love this dress."
"Really a gorgeous dress! Fit me tts!! I bought another one on off white, but unfortunately it didn't fit good on my 4"11 hight. However it is very fresh and beautiful!! It is was taller I would keep it. It just that , it was too much extra fabric that swallowed me because of my small frame Marcella thank you for making very pretty and quality clothes with a good purpose!!"
"Beautiful dress! High quality fabric ! Great fit!"
"Stunning little black dress. I'll likely shortened it, but love it. Ended up in a large which surprised me. The bodice may run small."
"The dress is of high quality and it’s very comfortable. I am 5’2” tall. I ordered a petite, and still needed to get it altered as it was too long."
"I feel so fancy in this dress! Can be dressed up or down effortlessly. I love the fabric of the skirt and how it has some natural poof. I only knocked off a star because the bust is tight but the waist a bit loose. Overall it fits OK but it could be a bit better."
