FAQs
Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?
While merino wool offers excellent insulation, this dress is designed for versatile, everyday wear. For very cold weather, layering with thicker tights, leggings, and a warm jacket is recommended.
Can this dress be worn as a base layer?
Yes, the soft merino wool makes it comfortable enough to be worn as a base layer against the skin, providing warmth and breathability.
How do I know if I'm buying the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. This specific dress is sized for children aged 10 (UK size 10).
Does the dress shrink if washed incorrectly?
Yes, wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or aggressive washing/drying cycles. Always follow the specific care instructions provided to maintain the garment's size and shape.
Is merino wool itchy for children?
DILLING uses high-quality, fine merino wool that is known for its softness and non-itchy properties. It is generally much softer than traditional wool.
Can this dress be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a delicate wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Dress loses shape after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wash cycle (wool or hand wash) at a maximum of 30°C. Always lay flat to dry and avoid tumble drying.
Wool feels itchy
DILLING uses fine merino wool which is typically very soft. Ensure the garment is clean, as residual detergent can sometimes cause irritation. Check if the care instructions have been followed precisely.

Wash inside out with a mild detergent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Using cold water for washing can also help preserve colors.
