FAQs
What makes Merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is exceptionally soft, non-itchy, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, making it ideal for sensitive baby skin and ensuring comfort in various climates.
Can this dress be worn year-round?
Yes, Merino wool's temperature-regulating properties allow it to be worn year-round. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions, often eliminating the need for multiple layers.
Is this dress suitable for sleeping?
No, this dress is specifically designed for daytime wear and is not intended for sleepwear.
How do I determine the correct size for my baby?
The product is available in sizes suitable for babies aged 6-18 months. Please refer to standard sizing charts or measure your baby if unsure, considering the 'loose fit' design.
What should I do if the dress snags?
If a snag occurs, try to gently push the snagged yarn back through to the inside of the fabric. Avoid pulling, as this can create a larger hole. Minor snags are common with delicate knitwear.
Can I machine wash this dress?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C, using a wool-specific detergent. However, hand washing is often recommended for longevity.
What is the return policy for this item?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returns and exchanges, as this information is not included in the product details.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Lay flat to dry, reshaping gently while damp. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment.
Baby feels too warm or too cold.
Merino wool is temperature-regulating. If your baby feels too warm, remove an outer layer. If too cold, add a light layer underneath, such as leggings or a long-sleeved bodysuit. Ensure the room temperature is also appropriate.
Slight pilling on the fabric surface.
Pilling is a natural occurrence with wool fibers rubbing together. Gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. This does not affect the garment's quality or warmth.
