FAQs
What makes wool terry different from regular merino wool?
Wool terry has a slightly thicker knit and a fuzzy, soft texture on the inside, making it feel extra soft and cozy compared to our standard merino wool.
Is this dress suitable for sleeping in?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active wear and everyday comfort during waking hours.
How often should I wash the dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Wash only when necessary, ideally after a few wears or if visibly soiled, following the gentle care instructions.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicate fabrics. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the wool fibers over time.
Will the dress shrink if I wash it?
If washed and dried according to the care instructions (cold wash, gentle cycle, lay flat to dry), the dress should not shrink. Avoid high heat in washing or drying.
What is the benefit of merino wool for kids?
Merino wool is excellent for children because it's soft, breathable, temperature-regulating (keeping them comfortable in various conditions), and naturally moisture-wicking, making it ideal for active kids.
What other sizes and colors are available?
This specific product is available in Purple for UK sizes 5-6. Please check the DILLING website for availability of other sizes and colors in the merino wool terry dress range.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy or uncomfortable
Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions with a wool-specific detergent. Sometimes, a first wash can help soften the fibers further. Check for any external tags or seams that might be causing irritation.
Dress has lost its shape after washing
Merino wool should be laid flat to dry. If it has stretched, try gently reshaping it while damp and laying it flat. Avoid machine drying at all costs, as this is the primary cause of shape loss.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with frequent wear. Use a fabric comb or sweater shaver gently to remove any pills. Proper washing and drying techniques can minimize this.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your merino wool terry dress, follow these care guidelines:
