as I was about to embark on the daunting 27-hour journey from Tennessee to Thailand I decided to put the merino dress to the test, and see if I could make it all the way there without a wardrobe change. the Rowena dress ended up being a great choice; it transitioned well from the chilly winter morning in Nashville all the way to the warm Bangkok spring. [bonus points: the pockets came in handy for easy access to my passport and travel documents along the way.]
