Full details
This DILLING Women's Merino Wool Strap Top in Brown (Size 16) is designed for adult women seeking natural warmth and comfort.

FAQs
Is this top suitable for very cold weather?
As a base layer, it provides excellent insulation. For extreme cold, layering it under additional warm garments like a fleece or insulated jacket is recommended.
How often should I wash this merino wool top?
Merino wool is naturally odour-resistant, so you can wear it multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, based on wear and personal preference. Airing the garment out can often refresh it.
Can I machine wash this top?
Yes, you can machine wash it on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Does merino wool shrink?
Merino wool can shrink if exposed to high heat or vigorous washing/drying cycles. Always follow the recommended care instructions: cold or lukewarm water, gentle cycle, and lay flat to dry.
What is the main advantage of merino wool over other materials?
Merino wool's primary advantages are its natural softness, breathability, temperature regulation, and odour resistance, offering superior comfort and performance compared to many synthetic or conventional wool materials.
Can I wear this camisole on its own?
Yes, the top features a delicate lace trim, making it suitable for casual wear on its own in mild weather, or as a comfortable option for lounging at home.
What is the sizing like for this women's strap top?
The product is available in standard UK women's dress sizes. Please refer to a sizing chart if available, or consider your usual fit. This specific product is a UK size 16.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy
Ensure you are using a pure merino wool product. Merino wool is typically very soft, but individual sensitivities can vary. Washing according to care instructions can also help soften the fibres.
Fabric pilling after a few washes
Some pilling is natural with wool. To minimize it, wash inside out on a delicate cycle with a wool-specific detergent and lay flat to dry. Avoid excessive friction.
Top has lost its shape
Merino wool can stretch if hung when wet. Ensure the garment is laid flat to dry. If it has stretched, try a gentle reshape while damp and allow it to dry flat. A cool iron can sometimes help revert minor stretching.
Odour persists after washing
Ensure you are using a suitable wool detergent and that the garment is rinsed thoroughly. For stubborn odours, consider a longer soak in cool water with wool detergent before washing again. Ensure the garment is completely dry, as moisture can encourage odours.
