FAQs
What makes Merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is exceptionally soft, non-itchy, breathable, and naturally regulates body temperature, keeping babies warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm. It also wicks moisture away from the skin.
What is the recommended age range for this dress?
This dress is designed for infants typically aged between 6 and 18 months, with specific sizes available within this range (e.g., UK 6-9, 9-12, 12-18 months).
Can this dress be worn for sleep?
No, this dress is explicitly stated as not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and active play.
How should I wash the merino wool dress?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Lay flat to dry away from heat.
Is this dress suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, fine Merino wool is known for its softness and is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin, unlike coarser wool types.
What does the 'loose fit' design offer?
The loose fit provides maximum comfort and allows for unrestricted movement, enabling babies to crawl, play, and explore freely.
Are there other color options available?

Troubleshooting
Garment appears to have shrunk after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct, gentle wool wash cycle (max 30°C). Avoid high heat drying. Gently reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Wool feels itchy or rough.
This is uncommon with fine Merino wool. Ensure you are using a gentle wool detergent and have not used fabric softener, which can damage wool fibers. Washing according to care instructions should restore softness.
Stain on the dress.
Treat stains gently and promptly. For fresh stains, blot with a clean cloth. For tougher stains, use a wool-safe stain remover, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Wash according to care instructions.
