Italian Virgin Wool

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.

Italian Virgin Wool
European Wool Blend

Care: Dry clean only.

Stretch: Mid stretch.

Reviews

Very well made dress.

"I love this dress. I’m 5’4” and weigh 107 lbs and the petite small fits me perfectly. I love the hidden zipper which makes getting dressed easier and I find the dress to be very well made. I do wish the skirt material had a little more fluidity to it, but I love it all the same."

Judith A. (5/5)

Any Occasion Dress

"I ordered the petite in Black pm. The neckline is perfect. It accentuates my collarbone and my shoulders. The sleeves are slightly snug, but not “tight. ” The length is longer than I want it to be…will be tailored for my “pettiness. ” I have tried it on several times with various accessories for different occasions and events. This beautiful black dress rises to the “casual look, to the “Dressed to Nine” event."

Ruby B. (5/5)

Yes, buy it.

"I really love the dresses I purchased, including this blue Mila. You can tell someone took their time in crafting each pleat and seam. The price is good for the quality of the dress. I bought a few dresses for Spring to wear to work and events around town. I will be buying more."

Lovely! Breakfast @ Tiffiany's classic!

"Lovely! Breakfast @ Tiffiany's classic! I'm 5'0 and was concerned I'd have to have it tailored. It's a good length on me! The fabric is quality. Actually, this dress fits like it was made for me! I absolutely love the pockets! As a senior, the fabric on top and length of the sleeves is perfection! 10 out of 10!"

I am a size US6 and sometimes run in between a small and a medium. What size would you suggest I go with in the Mila dress? I read the reviews which were contradictory. One said runs small while another said runs large. Please help.
