wool& Tessa Shelf Bra Dress: A Minimalist’s Dream with Built-In Support When wool& announced the Tessa Shelf Bra Dress, I was immediately intrigued. A sleek silhouette and no bra needed? Sign me up, stat. Knowing how much I have enjoyed my wool& Roam Cami Slip, I was excited to see how Tessa could be a summer staple for my mostly wool wardrobe.This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting me by shopping my links!
First Impressions & Try-ons for this simple summer dress by wool& Slightly thicker than wool& Roam, the brand new wool& Tessa is constructed from wool&’s Signature 200 fabric—82% merino wool and 18% nylon. It’s a midweight which gives it a little more coverage and allows it to glide over those lumps (and lately my lumps are lumpier). As always, blending nylon into the merino allows all that softness and breathability that comes with wool, with extra durability and stretch so that it performs even better.
Sizing Note: I’m 5’6”, 200 pounds, and an apple/pear shape. I carry weight around the middle and in my thighs, but underneath I have a small frame which can make sizing tricky! I’m wearing a large in Tessa.
The Cut & Design of wool& Tessa makes it the perfect summer slip dress! The dress features a sweetheart neckline, wide straps for added support, and, of course, the built-in shelf bra. It definitely fits a little different than the Roam Cami Slip and I would say it’s slimmer and more fitted, especially at the shoulders and straps.
What makes the wool& Tessa so comfortable and wearable? I went with size Large, and the fit is exactly what I wished for. The dress hugs the body without feeling restrictive, and the built-in bra gives light support. The band of the shelf bra is generous and not too tight or restrictive. It’s very comfortable and the shelf bra features a fully fabric covered elastic around the band making it very comfortable. It hits me at just the right spot (if you’ve ever had a shelf bra that’s just not quite long enough, you know what I mean!). I am wearing this dress with CAKES and they are the perfect match. Use code LEAHPRESCOTT to save 15% on your CAKES purchase! I wear these multiple times a week and LOVE them!
Looking for a merino dress with simple, breezy, style versatility? If you are looking for a dress with truly limitless styling potential, the Tessa is versatility in a dress! Sleek, minimalist with enough coverage to wear alone, but it’s also perfect as a base for endless layering opportunities. I just grabbed a few options from my closet, but I can think of dozens more pieces to pair with it. This dress comes in three color options—Black, Marine Blue, and Rosewood so you can choose a color that fits your closet best.
Worried about washing merino wool? It’s so easy! Caring for the Tessa is as simple as the rest of the wool& lineup. The merino wool’s natural properties mean it’s odor-resistant and wrinkle-resistant, reducing the need for frequent washing. When I say it will need less washing, I really mean it. When it does need a refresh, a gentle hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water is all you need. Lay flat to dry to maintain shape and longevity and it also dries FAST.
I can’t wait to wear wool& Tessa at home and for summer trips! I consider the Tessa another homerun hit from wool& and heading into a South Carolina summer, I know I will have plenty of chances to really put this dress through the paces. I’ll come back and update you guys, but until then, feel free to join my Facebook Community, Wool Obsessed for more natural fiber wardrobe talk, reviews, coupon codes, and more!
Happy November! I’m going to be honest, we are having a WARM fall so far here in South Carolina. We had a little burst of cool weather earlier in September, but now we are repeatedly hitting the 80’s day after day. Because of that, I’m not wearing as much of my typical Fall wool and I haven’t been getting as many outside pics. Knowing South Carolina, chances are we’ll skip the in between and go straight to super cold freezing temps overnight, but until then I’m sharing my try-ons for lovely new pieces from Woolly Clothing and I hope to give them more of a true trial run in the next month or so!
USE MY LINK TO SAVE 15% off SITEWIDE at WOOLLY A big thanks to Woolly for sending over these amazing Fall Staples. I always love trying new pieces and these are so functional and comfy that I know they will be making an appearance in many more outfits going forward. These items were gifted to me for my honest review and the links shared throughout this post will be affiliate links. Here we go! Woolly clothing is all about casual, comfy staples and I personally especially love their color options. For this try-on haul, I thought it would be fun to try these very casual pieces in more unique ways and I also tried to dress them up a bit for more elevated looks. I know that everyone always says leggings aren’t pants, but the reality is, if you style them like pants, they will work like pants, so that’s what I’ve done today!

For the below outfit, I paired the Cowl Neck from Woolly with a Julahas Kimono, dark wash jeans, and boots.
For this next outfit, I wore the Deep Sea Leggings along with my Quince Lightweight Cotton Cashmere Link-Stitch Dolman Sweater and a long statement necklace. This is the perfect casual look and I love how this color is similar to denim and will pair well with so many colors! For these outfits, I started with the Deep Sea Leggings and the Deep Sea Cowl Neck, some comfy barefoot style flats, and added this Julahas Suzani Jacket. I think it looks a little dressier, but it’s still super comfortable and easy to wear.
I am still really enjoying my growing capsule of clothing from Quince! In celebration of their newest Cashmere product launch, they were kind enough to send me two of the pieces from this line and I’m excited to share them with you today! Plus, a few more fun looks that I’ve enjoyed wearing over the last few weeks.
Thank you again to Quince who has been so great to work with! I really appreciate them sending me these two sweaters as well as pieces for my other review posts. These items were gifted to me for my honest review and the links shared throughout this post will be affiliate links. Let’s get into Quince for Fall!
First off, if you are new here or new to Quince, I’d love to have you follow my blog (look to your direct right on desktop or at the bottom on mobile), follow me on Insta, and join my Facebook community: Wool Obsessed. You’ll find lots of content like this and even more styling and shopping suggestions for lots of amazing brands, with an emphasis on natural fiber and sustainable shopping.
I’ll get into my outfit details for this look further down the line but first, this is our new puppy, Oz.
First up, this Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater in Rich Burgundy. This sweater is as soft as a breeze and the color is gorgeous. It fits me perfectly in my usual size Large. (My current stats for your reference are 5’6″ and 190 pounds).
Here’s what Quince has to say about this sweater: This is the one that put us on the map—and it’s now better than ever, for the same $50. We’ve elevated our cashmere to be irresistibly soft, smoother to the touch, and more durable, with less pilling and a more substantial feel. Sustainably and ethically sourced, our cashmere remains incredibly long-lasting and three times warmer than wool. Discover what makes it special in our Cashmere 101 guide.
I love mixing the textures of the cashmere and silk! It feels like such a luxurious mix while still being perfectly casual. I never thought I would enjoy a silk skirt so much, but this has gotten a lot of wear in my wardrobe!
Although I don’t wear jeans very often these days, I still like to wear them once in awhile and I love this combo. Jeans, bag, and shoes were all purchased at ThredUp, which has become my go-to thrifting source. If you want to try it out, signing up with my referral link will give you a big discount!
Next up, Quince sent me the gorgeous Mongolian Cashmere Duster Cardigan Sweater. I have always loved duster length sweaters. I feel like they just fit my personal style perfectly and I love a little bit of drama from the length. This one feels absolutely scrumptious and fits perfectly.
I haven’t talked much about the wool& Kalle because honestly the first time I tried it, it did not work for me. But the new improved fit is perfect and I really love it with this long sweater. I am not really a structured suit type of person, but the longline look of this duster makes the outfit perfect for my style, while still giving a great business casual fit!
Thank you again for a lovely collab Quince and thanks for everyone checking out my review. As always, these pieces will continue to appear, especially over on Insta, so be sure to follow me for more content! Here’s one more Bernedoodle puppy pic for the road!
Welcome to Quince: Review & Style Part 2. If you haven’t seen it, here is my Quince Review Part 1 where I talk about my first time trying Quince and the first few pieces I styled. Besides my first impressions, I also went on a lovely long weekend to the Carolina coast, which was another opportunity to give a few of these pieces a trial run. I have really enjoyed wearing these, and today I’m sharing a few more new items that caught my eye from Quince.
This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I might receive a small commission at no cost to you. I very much appreciate you shopping with me! I also want to thank Quince for collaborating with me.
As I mentioned before. Quince offers classic, fashionable pieces at prices way under industry standard by skipping the “middleman” and going right to the source. The also make sustainable and natural fabrics a big part of their product lineup which was especially appealing to me.
Quince Washable Stretch Silk V-Neck Cami
I can’t believe I never tried silk before Quince! This Quince Washable Stretch Silk V-Neck Cami feels absolutely perfect. It’s soft, but stretchy, doesn’t seem to wrinkle at all, and skims right over with a flattering fit. I love the dainty straps and gentle v-neck. This is going to be my new go-to layering piece and I am absolutely going to buy a few more of these camis in other colors. This Cami is a size Large.
Distressed Denim Short Sleeve Shirt
I am obsessed with this Distressed Denim Short Sleeve Shirt from Quince. I am a big sucker for denim and I love any kind of jacket, shirt, or vest in jean fabric. This shirt reminds me so much of one of my favorite pieces from my high school years. It’s an absolute classic button up, and the 100% cotton makes it durable and comfy. I have worn this SO much already, it’s also going to be a perfect piece to take my wardrobe from summer into fall. This Denim button-up shirt is a size Medium.
Baby Alpaca Wool Cropped Cardigan
This cardigan is absolutely adorable! I had heard this was an amazing, affordable cropped alpaca sweater, and it truly is a gem! I love the cut of the sleeves, chunky buttons and v-neck style. It’s a nice cropped length that makes the perfect layering piece. You really won’t find a better deal on a Baby Alpaca Wool Cropped Cardigan!For your reference, this cardigan is a size Medium.
100% Organic Cotton Oversized Cardigan
The only thing better than an oversized cardigan is an oversized organic cardigan, am I right? I absolutely love this creamy white ribbed 100% Organic Cotton Oversized Cardigan. It feels just perfectly thick, comfy, and stylish. With loose arms, patch pockets, and slouchy fit it absolutely gives Free People vibes at a fraction of the cost. The best part is this style is available in 12 different colors and it’s right under $50, which is unreal to me! For reference, this cardigan is a size XL and I will definitely go with a Large next time. I love the black and white together.
Today we walked through our city’s saturday vendor fair and it was a gorgeous, unusually cool, and breezy day. I rarely buy flowers but it was really hard to resist this gorgeous $20 bouquet. Along with homemade chocolate chip cookies, gorgeous weather, and some new goodies in the mail, the weekend has gotten off to a really great start.
This in actually not all I have to share from Quince, but that’s all for today. What pieces would you like to see me try in the future? Please let me know in the comments or head over to my Facebook Group to share there: Wool Obsessed.
I’m excited to share with you guys a new brand that is really coming in handy during this cold winter season! I received my first Oliver Charles piece, the Winter Cardigan, this November and I have already worn it WAY more than my winter coat because it’s just as warm, yet fits nice and trim and compliments the rest of my wardrobe so nicely.
This post will contain affiliate links, but all the ideas shared here are mine alone and reflect my honest opinion on the products in my own words. If you make a purchase using my coupon code and link I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks for helping to support my business by shopping with me!
I was excited to get to try a brand new style from Oliver Charles, the Winter Cardigan. You may use my coupon code: WoolObsessed10 to save 10% sitewide. I chose the color Teal and I bought it in Medium. It’s a good fit for me, but I do feel it’s on the smaller side for a unisex medium, so I recommend sizing up if you’d like a relaxed fit.
From their website: Ancient wool, modern sweaters. 100% yak down from the Tibetan highlands; they are the thickest, warmest, and most luxurious sweaters we’ve ever made, which have heirloom quality that you’ll pass down for generations. The wool we knit is solely sourced from Shokay, a fully traceable Tibetan COOP that supports 4,000 traditional herding families in Tibet. The Oliver Charles Winter Cardigan is the warmest sweater I have ever owned (It’s made of 100% YAK!). It’s also lusciously soft and easy to wear. I would describe it was the weight of a cardigan with the warmth of a coat, and it’s super versatile. Mine is in teal and I love the color.
I really like that it’s a trim fit rather than bulky and heavy. I love the color (Teal), and I found it matched almost everything in my closet. I really enjoy pairing it up with linen and wool in my wardrobe as I love combining textures. My favorite outfit was wearing it over a black jumpsuit.
I am sharing a lot of different outfits to confirm Teal is an amazing neutral! Kind of like how denim goes with everything this color really does fit into any outfit.
I also wanted to give more of my summer weight fabrics a try and I enjoyed the linen and floral prints along with the winter cardigan. We have wildly fluctuating temps here in SC so my wardrobe has to be on its toes at all time. I love how different textures play together to make a great match.
Teal can be worn with a raspberry pink, it turns out. I haven’t actually found anything it clashes with.
Still soft and still warm. I also wore it over a tank top for much of the day and was really surprised how comfortable the cardigan felt, even directly against my skin. Usually I don’t feel very comfy with a cardigan on over just a tank! Want more reviews of Wool, styling tips, and deals? Join my Facebook group: Wool Obsessed! It’s a great place to be and I know you’ll love the vibes!
Generally, I am pretty rough on my wardrobe and also tend to spill a lot but I haven’t had to wash the cardigan yet. I will update after I do. Until then, it actually smells LOVELY. It seems to have a pleasant odor on its own, is that how yaks smell?
The first day, I had a lot of shedding on my blouse underneath. It seems to taper off pretty quickly though, and isn’t an issue any longer. I wanted to mention that.
The Oliver Charles Winter Cardigan is very soft and the warmest one I’ve ever had. I truly couldn’t believe that it felt as warm as a coat on the coldest morning we had, but it really did. Affiliate link:

2025 UPDATE: Guess what? Looking back on this post today in 2025, I am adding some updates. Now that I’m styling more sustainable fabrics, like merino wool, cotton, linen, and silk, I have a couple different ideas for a natural fiber alternative to the Barefoot Dreams Dupe Cardigan I shared below.
For a natural fiber cardigan upgrade, I have three suggestions for you at three different price points.
$ for an affordable/natural fiber cardigan, I highly recommend this Organic Cotton Cardigan from Quince.
$$ for an incredible wool cardigan that will survive tons of use and still look amazing, go with one from wool&
$$$ for a truly luxurious cardigan with incredible, seamless construction, I suggest Oliver Charles. Please use coupon code: WoolObsessed10 for 10% off!
This week I spotted the Max & Mia Barefoot Dreams Knock-off Cardigans in new colors! Black, a light beige, and a cooler red (compared to the rusty red from the last run).
Quite a few years ago, I read about the Barefoot Dreams Cardigan from a blog. They are pretty pricey (click here for the Barefoot Dreams Cardigan) but I was able to hunt down a gently used one on Ebay and I absolutely loved it. Until I ruined it in an unfortunate laundry disaster (not my first one, either). So sad.
Ever since then, I had been watching for a deal on the real thing, but it was just really out of my budget (although having owned one, I do kind of think they are worth it). I had recently even been googling “Barefoot Dreams knock-off cardigan” hoping to find something similar at a lower price point. I never got lucky enough to find it, a few years ago I stumbled across exactly what I was looking for completely by accident.
This week 12/8/22 at my Costco!
This Travel Cardigan by Max & Mia is a perfect dupe for the Barefoot Dreams Circle Cardi and Costco’s version is only $25! I can’t believe how similar they are and after owning them forever, I can tell you that they hold up really well!
Pro Tip: I do feel that the sizing is a little inconsistent across the colors. I have not tried this year’s version because as much as I love cardigans, I have plenty and the only ones I have been wearing are my Wool ones. I have pretty much switched my wardrobe completely over to wool as a matter of fact. I still think these are absolutely fabulous cardigans, a great winter layer, and a perfect Christmas present also!
The only difference I want to point out is that the Costco cardigan is recommended to be hand wash rather than machine wash. That’s kind of a bummer, if you ask me, but not a deal breaker. I have machine washed mine cold and gentle, letting them hang dry which seems to have worked just fine.

Lots of companies are extending their Cyber Monday Sales this year. I am assuming it might have something to do with the fact that the economy is taking a turn so maybe retailers aren’t meeting their sales goals and are moving their dates accordingly. Whatever the reason, it’s definitely making the shopping season extra exciting!
Although Wool& doesn’t strike me as a company that would extend a sale on the fly, they are actually extending their Free Gift with Purchase Promo through December 5th!
According to their customer experience manager, they are doing this because there was a delay on their mailed catalogs which meant that their customer base didn’t receive news of the promo in time, so they are extending it to accommodate those customers who might want to take advantage, which is really very nice of them!
Like I said before, the gift with promo is an amazing appreciation offer. You choose your gift between two different shirts, a pair of shorts, or a scarf and there are a ton of colors available!
Thank you for shopping my affiliate links!
Details on the sale
You must spend a minimum of $150 and then add your choice of gift items to your cart. The freebie will automatically ring up at $0 in the cart.
There is ONE freebie per household. Click here to check out all the freebies they are offering!
One of the options is the amazing Stella Tee and I’ve talked about it here before. I absolutely love it. It’s such a great fit for me and has held up really well. I definitely could use another color, and I’d really like to try the white.
They are also offering the Frankie bike shorts, perfect for wearing underneath the dresses for a little extra modesty.
There is another tee, the Morgan V-neck tee, a super cute option.
Lastly, you can choose from some gorgeous Luna Jersey Scarves, which I’m totally drooling over.
So hard to choose! If you have been thinking about your first Wool& purchase, this is totally the time to go for it!
I know there are a million deals happening today but I am just going to share one that I particularly love that happens to be a great price today!
For my birthday this summer the family got me something I have been wanting for years: a crushed ice machine. I love it, so, so much. It is completely a splurge and by far the most money we’ve spent on a birthday present….ever! But I use it every day and enjoy it so much. I just crave this crushed ice. This machine makes the slightly soft, perfectly crunchable ice nuggets and they are incredibly delicious!
Thank you for shopping through my affiliate links!
I waited so long for this dress by Wool&! I was looking for a classic, basic, soft, and comfortable black tank dress that would really stand up to my busy summer lifestyle and the Camellia by Wool& turned out to be the perfect solution. Besides the comfort factor, this dress relies on a blend of merino wool & nylon which means it has all the MAGIC of wool including durability, odor-resistance, temperature-regulating, and sustainable awesomeness! I truly love my Mara dress, so I couldn’t wait to try a warm-weather option.
If you’d like to check these products out in detail, I appreciate you using my affiliate links:
If you make a purchase, I might receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
I loved this dress from the moment I tried it on! I am 5’5.5″ and about 160 lbs. I decided to size DOWN and go with a Small Long. I wanted this dress comfortably long and it fits me just how I hoped!
Let’s get the elephant out of the room. For some one who typically shops at thrift stores, this dress is quite an investment at $128, I admit it. Here are my reasons for sharing a product that is on the high end with my followers:
Durability. Did you know that hundreds of women have worn Wool& dresses for 100 days in a row? It’s such a cool challenge and really proves that these dresses are super durable. If you are going to invest in a pricier clothing item, make sure it will last!
Versatility. Many of us stick to lower end purchases for every day wear, but might “splash out” on a special occasion dress or outfit for a night out. I’m starting to think the exact opposite! Let’s invest in versatile pieces that can fit into our daily lifestyle year round and find deals on the one-wear items that we won’t be re-wearing again and again.
Wonderful Woolly-ness. Back to the first paragraph in this post, remember all those features that make wool magical? Sustainability, Temperature-regulating, Easy-care, Odor-resistant, breathable and soft? Yes, those features are what make wool worth the investment and will make these items last so much longer!
I love the way the Camellia fits, looks, and feels! It’s a great every day look for my closet, and I think I could safely dress it up for a night out with some heals and the right accessories! Want to see it a little better? Check out my video review here.
The best part about this dress is that I know it can be worn all year round! I plan to layer it up with sweaters, and boots, but for now I love pairing it with my favorite jean jacket.
Many thanks to Wool& for sending me the dress and leggings for my review. I love working with small companies and this one is truly a gem!
Have you tried Wool yet? I’d love to hear your experience!
