Perfect travel dress, couldn’t be happier

Ava might just be my favorite Wool& dress yet. Love the wide neckline, love the double bodice, love the sleek yet flowy skirt. Please never stop making this one. The rose color is beautiful but didn’t work for me. The teal is beautiful and the black is a classic LBD. True to size for me.

I have tried a lot of wool& dresses and know I generally wear a large in the long sleeved ones and a medium in the tank dresses. The design on this is a snug bodice, so I'm glad I went with the medium. This is a substantial dress. The 180 gsm fabric is doubled in the bodice and I love that feature. Some of the dresses are just too thin up top for me and this one is sturdier. The ocean teal is GORGEOUS and perfect for summer. How I would change it: Straps shorter and wider and maybe 1/4" off each underarm. I will probably take it to the tailor to have the straps shortened 1/2" and try to take in the underarm seams. I would love it a few inches shorter as well - It seems like all the 2024 dresses have been midi or maxi and I'd prefer more knee-length options. I do love the dress, just think it would be absolutely perfect with a few tiny tweaks.

Such a beautiful dress! I bought the black in S.
It lays smoothly over the hips and the neckline is very flattering.
I would give it 5 stars, except that the straps are too long on me and make the bodice droop a little. I’m always worried about losing the top. I will take it to a seamstress to shorten them about 1”.
I wish I could give this 4 3/4 stars. It really is a wonderful dress, just needs an adjustment for me.

I love the style of this dress on my hourglass-leaning-pear body but as-made the waist seem was a little too low and the arm-holes gapped a bit. But a quick alteration taking the shoulders up an inch and a half fixed all the problems and it fits beautifully. The waist sits perfectly at my natural waist, the arms no longer gap, and the neckline hits at the perfect spot. Moral of the story is don't discount it if you have these issues too, just try pinching up the shoulders and see how it fits then, it may be your perfect dress as well!

Other points of interest - the ocean teal color is beautiful, the fabric feels amazing, and the pockets are magical. I can put my iPhone XR in the pocket and not even feel, it doesn't pull the dress down at all.
