FAQs

Is this dress suitable for sleeping?

No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and active use.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, typically based on height and age. For this specific dress (size 9-10), it generally fits children aged 9 to 10 years.

Can I wear this dress in summer?

Merino wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating. While ideal for cooler weather, its moisture-wicking properties can also help keep you comfortable in milder summer conditions, especially if layered lightly.

How often should I wash my merino wool dress?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can often be aired out between wears. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers, following the cold wash, gentle cycle instructions.

What makes merino wool different from regular wool?

Merino wool fibers are much finer than those of regular wool, making them softer, less itchy, and more breathable. It also has excellent moisture-wicking capabilities.

Can I machine wash this dress?

Yes, but only on a cold, gentle, or wool cycle with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and never tumble dry.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Merino wool is generally very soft, so initial stiffness can sometimes occur and usually resolves with wear and proper washing.

Dress has shrunk after washing

The garment may have been washed in hot water or machine dried. Always use cold water and lay flat to dry. For future washes, be extra cautious with temperature settings.

Stains on the dress

Treat stains promptly with a wool-safe stain remover. Gently dab the affected area and rinse with cold water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
