FAQs

Is this dress suitable for sleeping in?

No, this dress is designed for active wear and play and is not intended for sleepwear.

How do I know what size to choose?

Refer to the size guide provided by DILLING, typically based on height or age. This particular product is for size 10 years.

Can I use regular detergent to wash this dress?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool to maintain the fiber's integrity and softness. Regular detergents can be too harsh.

Why is merino wool good for children's clothing?

Merino wool is soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking, making it comfortable for children in various conditions. It's also naturally odor-resistant.

How does the fine micron count affect the dress?

A lower micron count, like 18.5, means the wool fibers are finer, resulting in a softer, less itchy, and more comfortable feel against the skin.

What is the benefit of the fuller skirt design?

The fuller, roomy skirt design allows for greater freedom of movement, making it easier for children to run, play, and explore comfortably.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels scratchy after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the wash temperature did not exceed 30°C. Avoid fabric softeners. Try airing the garment out.

Dress has lost its shape

Reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid high spin cycles in the washing machine and do not tumble dry.

Small holes or thinning in the fabric

This can sometimes be due to moths or excessive friction. Ensure proper storage and check for any signs of insect damage. Gentle washing can help prevent excessive wear.
