FAQs
Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the 100% organic Merino wool provides excellent insulation and temperature regulation, making it suitable for cold weather when layered appropriately. However, it is not intended for sleepwear.
How do I know if I'm choosing the right size?
The dress has a relaxed, oversized fit. It's recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart, paying attention to the chest, waist, and length measurements for children's sizes.
Can this dress be worn year-round?
Yes, Merino wool is breathable and temperature-regulating, making it comfortable in both warmer and cooler seasons. It's ideal for layering in winter and comfortable on its own in milder weather.
What makes Merino wool different from regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer and softer than those of regular wool, meaning they don't feel itchy. It's also highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and naturally odor-resistant.
How often should I wash this dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and antibacterial, so it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing it out between wears can help refresh the garment. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions.
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. Avoid tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Dress seems tight after washing
Merino wool can sometimes shrink slightly if exposed to high heat. Ensure you are washing on a wool cycle with cold water and laying flat to dry. If it has shrunk, try gently stretching the fabric while damp.
Pilling on the fabric
Pilling is a natural process for wool fibers, especially with friction. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Proper washing and care can minimize this.
Color fading
While Merino wool dyes are generally colorfast, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying can cause fading. Always dry the garment in the shade and use a color-safe detergent.
