Between the chaos of shopping for gifts, deciding on a menu, and planning travel to visit family, I always find myself waiting until the very last minute to think about what I’m actually going to wear over the holidays. Rather than allowing myself to procrastinate this year, I vowed to find festive, comfy options ahead of time, alleviating the stress that comes with digging through my closet the day before a trip.
With this goal in mind, I was excited to have the opportunity to try out a piece from Talbots. The moment I saw this merino wool ribbed dress, which comes in a rich dark brown color and is adorned with gold buttons, I knew it would be the perfect Thanksgiving outfit.

The three-quarter sleeve style and midi length make this piece ideal for colder months since it offers added coverage. Plus, it’s made from 100 percent merino wool, ensuring it will be warm enough to wear no matter how chilly it is outside. I’m spending my Thanksgiving in Wisconsin, so I plan to pair this dress with tights and kitten heels for extra comfort.
Since I’m 5-foot-2, I sometimes worry about long-sleeve mid-length dresses having too much fabric for my petite frame. That’s why I was happy to find that this dress is warm without feeling heavy, and the high-quality material allows it to lay nicely without being bulky. The midi length hits at a good spot on my legs, but I think it will look best on me when paired with heels with a little added height.
One shopper who called this a “flattering winter dress,” added that they were “so glad that the buttons are decorative only” so they can “slip it right over [their] head.” I agree that this feature makes wearing this dress fuss-free and extra comfortable. Between the soft material and easy styling, I know that this is a piece I will wear multiple times throughout the season. Another shopper called it an “effortlessly chic dress,” and they noted that it is “classic, elegant, and comfortable.”
