Icebreaker Women's Villa Dress

Can't go wrong with wool for elegance
January 01, 2012

I've only worn this dress once, for Christmas, but I'm very pleased with it. It has a good length: short but not too much so. Looked good with tights. I was afraid of looking frumpy in it because I've thickened about the middle lately, but actually it was slimming, and I got complements on how I looked. It was true to size, nice neckline, easy to dress up or down. I felt like wearing a slip would have been nice (I don't have one the right length), since I wore wool against tights, but it wasn't too bad, probably because it was short enough. I did iron out the creases the first time, but after a quick and easy swish in the sink, it dried beautifully.

Love this dress

I think this dress is my new favorite article of clothing. Lightweight merino wool is so versatile and travels well. I've worn it on very hot days and I've been fine. I do think that this dress runs small. I am a medium in almost every brand, sometimes a small; I usually wear an 8 and sometimes a 6. I ordered the medium and it was a little short and snug; the large is much better for me. I have a bit more width than I need, but the fabric is drapey so it's fine.

LOVE IT!

I am 5'6" and 125lb and I got the small. It is a tiny bit loose bc I have no hips but the belt takes care of that. It is very comfortable and can be worn with heals or even my toms. I love it!

This dress is the bomb!

I took this dress on a trip to Florida and ended up wearing it for 3 days b/c it was so comfortable and so versatile. It was comfortable for travel, casual and cool at the theme parks and easy to dress up for dining out. I paired it with tights and a sweater for travel. I wore it alone to the theme parks and it dried quickly after the water rides; my family was completely jealous. I dressed it up with accessories and wore it into the nice restaurants in our resort. I packed other clothes, but didn't bother because this dress was PERFECT. I want an entire wardrobe of Icebreaker products!

This little black dress packs up small, fits well, washes easily, and can be dressed up or down to suit the occasion. Great for travel. Very comfortable in hot weather as it breathes well, dries quickly and the wool fabric doesn't show perspiration. Cold water machine wash and hang to dry to keep it looking it's best. The loops for the belt at the waist are a little finicky, but the belt finishes the look of the dress if you're not accessorizing with a scarf or jacket/top.
