Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is excellent for temperature regulation. For very cold weather, layering this dress with leggings and a warm jacket is recommended.
Can this dress be worn in summer?
Yes, the breathable and moisture-wicking properties of merino wool make it comfortable even in warmer temperatures. It helps keep the skin dry.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. The dress has a close fit on top with a roomy skirt, so ensure both parts accommodate your child comfortably.
Does the ruffle detailing add bulk?
No, the ruffle detailing is designed to be subtle and adds a decorative touch without adding significant bulk, maintaining the garment's sleek profile.
Is merino wool scratchy for children?
This dress is made from very fine merino wool (18.5 microns), which is known for its exceptional softness and is generally not itchy or scratchy, even for sensitive skin.
Can I wash this dress in a regular washing machine?
Yes, but it must be on a wool or delicate cycle at a low temperature (max 30°C) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high spin speeds and always use a wool setting if available.
How should I store the dress when not in use?
Store the dress folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can cause the knit to stretch out of shape.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. The fine micron count of this wool should prevent itchiness, but initial washes can sometimes feel different.
Dress lost shape after washing
Avoid machine drying and excessive heat. Lay the garment flat to dry and gently reshape it while damp. Ensure you are following the recommended washing temperature and cycle.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with merino wool, especially in areas of friction. You can gently remove pills with a wool comb or by hand. Using a wool-specific detergent and washing inside out can help minimize this.
