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

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.

Care: Dry clean only.

Stretch: Mid stretch.

Review Highlights

Elegant and well made

I am a size 2X with a pear shape I was very reluctant to get this dress because women shapes like me are always persuaded to wear A line dresses . I put on a foundation garment and then the dress I felt and looked like a million bucks. No regret! You will love this dress as a plus size woman

A true showstopper

I recently wore the "Monroe Dress” to a gala event and I can’t say enough good things about it. I felt so special wearing it, but I also received an insane amount of compliments both from the other attendees and on social media. What I love about this dress is that it is tall friendly (so hard to find floor length dresses if you’re 6’) and also that its stretchy material. The dress looks chic and sophisticated, but it’s easy to clean and comfortable to wear.

Perfect fit

I'm 5'7" and the length would be perfect with heels. Unfortunately, I can only wear a 1-2" heel, so will need to have the dress hemmed. But no problem!. I'm a size 8 and the medium fits very well with no alterations needed. The fabric is a little thicker than I expected, but lays smoothly on the body. The sheer arm and shoulder fabric is perfect! Hides upper arms attractively and can be worn as an off the shoulder style or one shoulder covered as shown in ad. Thank you for designing a beautiful and slimming dress!

Wow!

Wowza! That’s how I feel in this dress! The fabric, drape and style are so figure enhancing. Sometime black can be too harsh on me, but this design with the sheer drape is perfection. I’m very excited to wear it to an upcoming black tie event.

Overall a beautiful dress!!! I will need to exchange for a smaller size as it runs slightly big. . . I am usually a 12 but lost a few pounds so I need a medium instead of a large . . . . I hope the medium arrives in time!!!

Classic and beautifully designed dress!

I’ve purchased this dress for a black tie wedding in September. I was nervous with my curves that this dress could accentuate my flaws. Boy, was I wrong! The fabric and fit minimize my curves in the most comfortable way possible. Honestly, I cannot wait to wear it, as it is such a classic design. This is a true staple for formal functions!

The dress is made of lovely heavy fabric with some stretch that hangs beautifully. There is a side zipper for ease of putting on and taking off the garment and there is just the right amount of flare at the bottom of the dress to balance my figure. The edges are fined well. Size details: 5’7”, 153 pounds, 66 years old. Dress: size Large
