The knitted merino wool dress with a slide slit and long sleeves is what you can easily incorporate into your capsule wardrobe. The slim-fit silhouette and the plain pattern without any intricate details make this piece of knitwear amazingly versatile. It can be your day to night outfit without much effort. This merino wool dress looks elegant and feminine on its own, but if you want to add even more gracefulness to your moves, you can accessorize it with snap button feather cuffs.

The merino wool dress, which we call Barbara, comes without the feather bracelets, and you can order the dress in one of the five colors listed. Check the links below for a dress that comes with separate feather cuffs.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wash your wool garment only when necessary. After activities that cause sweating, take your garment outside to air. Small stains should be gently removed with soapy water. Hand washing is recommended to keep your wool item in its best condition.

Turn your garment inside out. Use cold or lukewarm water and a gentle detergent suitable for wool. Do not use washing products containing harsh chemicals. Soak the garment for a few minutes. Take it out and press out the excess water. Do not wring. Change the water and rinse your wool again. Repeat rinsing until the water remains clean. Gently press out the garment and lay it flat on a fresh towel. Roll the garment into a towel to absorb the excess water. Let your wool item dry flat in the air. You can also shape the garment by hand to remove creases and give it the original shape.

To remove creases after drying if any, use the iron or a clothes steamer. When ironing, use the wool setting or low heat. Spray some water on the garment or use a damp cloth over the garment not to overheat the fiber. Do not use too much pressure when steaming with the iron.
