FAQs

Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. This dress can be worn on its own in mild conditions or layered with other garments for warmth in colder weather. However, it is not designed as sleepwear.

How do I know if I ordered the correct size?

Please refer to the product's size chart for DILLING children's apparel. The size is usually indicated by age range (e.g., 7-8 years).

Can this dress be machine washed?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent.

What makes this merino wool special?

The merino wool used is particularly fine, with a micron count of 18.5. This results in a lightweight, soft, and comfortable garment that is less likely to feel itchy than coarser wools.

Can my child wear this dress for sleeping?

No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active daytime wear.

How should I dry the dress?

It is best to lay the dress flat to dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can cause the wool to shrink.

What kind of activities is this dress suitable for?

The dress is suitable for everyday play, casual outings, school, and light outdoor activities due to its flexible design and comfortable merino wool fabric.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle cycle. The fine micron count of the merino wool should prevent itchiness, so re-check washing practices.

Dress has shrunk after washing

The dress may have been exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Always follow the 30°C wool cycle and lay flat to dry. Refer to care instructions for proper maintenance.

Ruffles appear misshapen

Gently reshape the ruffles while the garment is damp. Lay flat to dry. Avoid excessive ironing on the ruffle areas.
