FAQs
Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and layering.
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin and keeping them comfortable in various conditions.
How often should I wash the dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than other fabrics. Wash only when necessary, ideally after a few wears, following the specific care instructions.
Can I use regular detergent?
It is best to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics to maintain the integrity and softness of the merino wool fibers. Avoid fabric softeners.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING and consider your child's current measurements. The A-line cut offers some flexibility in fit.
What does 'fine rib' mean?
A 'fine rib' refers to a type of knit construction that creates vertical lines with small ribs. This typically provides a slightly more structured yet flexible fabric compared to a plain knit.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing
Merino wool can be sensitive to high heat. Ensure you are washing on a cold wool cycle (max 30°C) and laying flat to dry. Gentle stretching while damp may help restore shape.
Itchy or uncomfortable fabric
Ensure the garment is 100% merino wool and has been washed according to care instructions. DILLING merino wool is known for its softness, but some individuals may have extreme sensitivities. Pre-washing may also help soften the fibers.
Pilling or fuzziness on the surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers, especially with friction. This can be gently removed with a wool comb or sweater shaver. Proper washing and handling minimize pilling.
