FAQs

Is this dress suitable for sleeping?

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

How does merino wool keep my child warm?

Merino wool fibers have natural crimps that trap air, creating insulation. They also wick moisture away from the skin, preventing chilling.

Can I use regular laundry detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can damage the wool fibers and reduce their natural properties.

What does 'A-line shape' mean for the fit?

An A-line shape is fitted through the shoulders and bust and gradually widens towards the hem, resembling the shape of the letter 'A'. This provides a comfortable fit and ease of movement.

How do I check for other sizes or colors?

Please refer to the product listing for available sizes and color variations. Similar items may be found by searching for 'DILLING Merino Wool Dress'.

Is the wool ethically sourced?

DILLING is committed to sustainable and ethical production practices. For specific details on sourcing, please refer to the brand's official information.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels scratchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Re-wash on a delicate cycle with the appropriate detergent and lay flat to dry.

Dress has lost its shape.

Gently reshape the garment while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing the wool excessively.

Pilling appears on the fabric.

Some pilling is natural with merino wool and can be gently removed with a fabric comb or shaver. It usually decreases with subsequent washes.
