FAQs

What is merino wool and why is it good for a camisole?

Merino wool is a natural fiber from merino sheep, known for its exceptional softness, breathability, temperature regulation, and natural odour resistance. These qualities make it ideal for comfortable, all-day wear, especially in a garment worn close to the skin like a camisole.

Can I wear this camisole in the summer?

Yes, merino wool is breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps keep you cool and dry. While it provides warmth, its breathability makes it suitable for warmer weather as a lightweight layer or on its own.

How often should I wash this camisole?

Thanks to merino wool's natural odour-resistant properties, you can wear this camisole multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions to preserve the fiber and lace detail.

Is the lace trim durable?

The lace trim is designed to be elegant and delicate. While it adds a refined touch, it requires gentle handling during washing and wear to prevent snagging or damage.

What does 'close-fitting cut' mean for this camisole?

A close-fitting cut means the camisole is designed to follow the contours of the body closely without being tight. This ensures it sits smoothly under other clothing, making it an effective base layer.

Can I wear this camisole for exercise?

Merino wool is excellent for many activities due to its moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating properties. However, the delicate lace trim might not be ideal for high-impact or very strenuous exercise where it could snag.

What's the difference between this and a regular synthetic camisole?

This camisole offers superior natural breathability, softness, and odour resistance compared to most synthetic camisoles. It also provides better temperature regulation, keeping you warm in the cold and relatively cool in the heat.

Troubleshooting

Camisole feels itchy or scratchy

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions with a wool-friendly detergent. Merino wool's softness can be compromised by harsh detergents. If the issue persists, it may be a personal sensitivity to the natural fibers.

Lace trim snagged or damaged

Handle the camisole gently, especially around the lace. If minor snags occur, try to carefully pull them back into place. For significant damage, repair may be difficult due to the delicate nature of the trim.

Camisole losing shape after washing

Ensure the camisole is laid flat to dry, not hung or put in a tumble dryer. Gentle handling during washing and proper drying are crucial for maintaining the garment's shape.

Odour not fully eliminated after washing

Re-wash using a wool-specific detergent and ensure the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so persistent odours might indicate a need for a deeper clean or a different detergent.
