In our case, the HIGH knitted dress from Nebulus was delivered together with other products in a sturdy shipping box . The shipping box was undamaged and could be easily opened with a knife or scissors. The shipping box was also optimally sized, as it was filled to the top. This protects the environment: not only is the amount of material required for the shipping box minimized, but the small space required by the package also ensures better utilization of the transport vehicles. Inside the box was the HIGH knitted dress in the corresponding product packaging.
The product packaging consists of a transparent plastic bag in which the HIGH knitted dress was packed. The film is tear-resistant and cannot be stretched. A Nebulus logo is printed on the front of the packaging. There is also a sticker with a barcode and the product name and size of the knitted dress. There are warnings on the back that the bag poses a choking hazard. The information is available in four languages, including German and English.
The top of the bag has an opening which is sealed with an adhesive strip on the film. The adhesive strip is reusable. If the knitted dress is to be returned, the bag can be resealed with the existing adhesive strip. The shipping box and the plastic bag protect the HIGH knit dress very well against damage and soiling.

For our test, we received the HIGH knit dress in black and white. In addition to this color combination, Nebulus also offers the knitted dress in black-red, red-black and white-black. The black and white color combination gives the knitted dress a wintery look. It is designed for women and is made from the same fabric inside and out. The pattern area is knitted in two layers. The patterns are not stitched on, but are created using a different color of wool thread. The rest of the knitted dress, however, consists of one layer of fabric.
The knitted dress does not have a hood or a belly pocket, but it does have a high collar.
There is an elasticated section of around seven centimetres at the bottom, the collar and the ends of the sleeves, which allows the knitted dress to fit snugly in the corresponding areas. The knitted dress does not have an eyelet at the collar, so a hanger is required to hang it up.
The majority of the knitted dress is black . Only the shoulder area and a minimal proportion of the elasticated sections on the sleeves and the bottom are knitted in white. As a color contrast to the basic colors black and white, the knitted dress has a pattern of triangles, diamonds, snowflake symbols, moose and Norway flags, which extend around the upper body at chest and shoulder height.
There is also a patch with Nebulus lettering on a Norway flag on the bottom left. The inside of the collar is also in white. This additional contrast to the basic colors of the knit dress and the surrounding pattern gives the collar a special touch and adds another subtle accent to the overall appearance.
The fabric of the knitted dress is very thick, stretchy and tear-resistant. According to the label, the fabric is made from 100% acrylic. The seams are all even and neat and hardly noticeable from the outside. There are hardly any protruding threads and, if there are any, they are only very short. Apart from this, there are no manufacturing faults on the knitted dress. The knitted dress has the typical, pleasant smell of brand new clothing.
Overall, the Norwegian knit dress HIGH with its white and black basic colors, Nebulus patches and all-round pattern is a fashionable garment with an appealing winter design. The quality of the fabrics used and the seams, as well as the overall workmanship, are also impressive.

The Norwegian knit dress HIGH is sold in different sizes between S and XXL for women. In our test, we received the knitted dress in S . The dress reaches above the knees of our tester, who is just under 165 cm tall. The knitted dress fits rather close to the body. The patch on the left side is noticeable but not unpleasant. You get used to it after just a few seconds and no longer feel it. The fabric on the inside also feels very comfortable and soft on bare skin. As you would expect from the thick fabric, the knitted dress keeps you nice and warm even in very cold weather. The stretchy areas at the bottom, the collar and the sleeves ensure that the openings are flush with the body. This gives the high collar in particular a function: the neck is also effectively protected from the cold. The thick fabric used naturally plays the biggest part in keeping you warm. The knitted dress is therefore only suitable for very low temperatures or people who freeze easily. In the last part of our practical test, we wash the knitted dress according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the HIGH knit dress, this means an easy-care wash cycle at 30 °C without drying and ironing at 110 °C, which corresponds to the usual specifications for comparable garments. After washing, the garment smells of the detergent used, but otherwise there is no noticeable difference. The embroidered dress survives the washing process without any damage or fading.
All in all, the HIGH knit dress is convincing in our practical test. It fits comfortably, feels pleasant against the skin thanks to the inner fur, keeps you nice and warm and also withstands washing without any problems.
