Wool&you

I like the idea of this dress and I do like the fabric but really didn’t like the dress. I had to return it because it was so unflattering. I’m not sure what body type it would work well for. I feel like I’m pretty average but maybe you need a small chest for this to work.

I ordered an XL as my chest is 42 inches but the dress feels very baggy. It is comfortable and keeps my temperature regulated thanks to its high wool percentage. I want to love my Rowena Swing Dress but can't seem to style it so it's not blah.. I'm hoping it grows on me with time.

The marine blue Rowena is my first Wool& purchase, and it has quickly become my favorite dress. I’m currently on day 42 of the challenge, and this dress is like a blank canvas. There so many different ways to wear it both casually and formally. It is so comfortable, beautiful, versatile, and low maintenance. I am definitely a merino wool convert and look forward to making sustainable, slow fashion clothing choices with Wool& again.

This is my second wool& dress. The first was in black, longer, size M. It's a bit longer than I expected (I'm 5'2, 160, bad knees--don't show them). The medium fits nicely, but it was a tad clingy. The fabric "relaxed" after one wearing, and I'm wearing the dress so much this spring that I decided to go for a non-black, shorter version. The dress I chose is the same basic style, only regular length and size L, in the color Canyon Red. It's a dusty, soft reddish shade, the essence of autumn colors. Still pretty for rainy spring days. It's not too short on me. Looks cool with black leggings. There's very little difference (to me) between size M and size L. Both work nicely in Pacific NW weather. Keeps me cool, not cashmere hot, and easy to layer. I'm looking forward to the new V-neck design, 3/4 sleeve design.

I love the idea of this dress and love the feel, comfort, versatility and ease of care. I waited a long time for it to become available in the shorter length, but there is still too much length and material for someone truly short and small. I will wear it because of the comfort and ease, but I feel a bit frumpy. Please make one of the Rowena dresses in true petite proportions! I love this dress on taller ladies and would purchase another if it would fit.
