FAQs
Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, merino wool is an excellent insulator and can provide warmth in cold weather. For extra warmth, pair it with thick leggings and a warm base layer underneath.
How often should I wash the merino wool dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and wicks away moisture, meaning it doesn't need to be washed after every wear. You can air it out between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the specific wool care instructions.
Can this dress be worn in summer?
Merino wool is also breathable and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for warmer temperatures as well. It helps to keep the skin cool and dry. However, it is not designed as lightweight summer wear and might be warmer than cotton alternatives.
What does 'regular fit' mean for this dress?
A regular fit means the dress is cut to be comfortably loose without being baggy. It allows for freedom of movement, which is ideal for active children.
How do I know if the size is correct?
The size '5-6' corresponds to UK children's sizing. It is recommended to check the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate measurements, comparing them to your child's height and measurements.
Can this dress be machine dried?
No, machine drying is not recommended for merino wool. High heat can cause shrinkage and damage the delicate wool fibers. Always air dry the dress flat.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy
Ensure the dress is washed according to care instructions. High-quality merino wool is naturally soft, but initial washes can sometimes enhance this. Ensure no harsh detergents were used.
Dress has shrunk after washing
The dress was likely exposed to high heat during washing or drying. Always use a wool wash program at 30°C and air dry flat. If shrinkage is significant, consult the retailer for potential remedies.
Stain removal is difficult
For fresh stains, gently blot the area with cold water. For tougher stains, use a wool-safe stain remover and follow its instructions carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
