Description
Match this lovely fall dress with your new high boots or take it with you the next time you head to a foreign time zone. The merino wool is comfortable, not itchy, and stays relatively wrinkle free in your luggage. The natural structure of the fibres is mechanically moisture-wicking, which keeps you warm when wet and prevents dampness against the skin. It also has natural anti-microbial properties, so you can wear it a couple days in a row without having to wash it in between.
- Made of 100% merino wool with a stitch pattern that creates a subtle stripe effect.
- Deep V-neck and gathers at back collar add charm.
- Gather detail at cuffs.
- Thin tie at waist
- Length falls just at the knee.
