The Lilias Dress is a textured knit version of one of Gabriela Hearst's best selling woven dresses. It upholds the boldness of the contrast color placket and elbow length puff sleeves, but has the softness of knitwear. The skirt flares out subtly at the hem in a shape that perfectly flatters the form.

Details:

• 100% wool (Australia). Dying/Weaving/Finishing in Italy.

Merino wool fibers are extremely fine and flexible, making lightweight yarns that are soft on skin. It is lustrous and moves with body, creating comfort and luxurious drape. Like all wool, it is a renewable fiber. It provides warmth while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. When you do wash Merino, it dries faster than standard wool. The exceptional durability of wool allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions.
