Customer Reviews Smartwool Everyday Exploration Merino Dress

Pretty and comfy

I love this dress! This is the light-weight garment that will sit in the bottom of my pack until a break from the trail and a shower, then it's on for a resupply run in to town. It will also be a good go-to extra sleeping layer for a cold night. The pockets are a good size for a small lighter in one and a small swiss army knife in the other. The a-line shape is very flattering, even on my boxy figure, and the cap sleeves with v-neck combination is a great look. The slight sheer quality is just enough to be flirty, and has the wonderful ability of being both airy and cozy at the same time. I've purchased it in both black and blue, and I'm wearing one or the other quite often, so they are a main part of my daily curated wardrobe too, not just hiking. Please, make it in more colors, like mid-grey, evergreen, dark-rust, and dark-amethyst, maybe even a floral pattern. I really hope this becomes a perennial.

I bought 2 of these dress, one in Navy and the other in black. I'm 5'4 1/2" tall and usually wear a medium. The fit is perfect and the length hits just below my knees. I just wish they came in other colors.

The cut is flattering as well as active. It's light weight and airy, but also soft and cozy. I LOVE the pink. My only complaint is that it's moderately see-through, so I have to think carefully about my undergarments so they don't show through.

I love wearing wool, especially in summer, so was looking for a comfy dress. This is definitely easy to wear (pockets!), but it was kind of shapeless on me so I’m returning. Need a sleeker silhouette to make it perfect.
