FAQs
Is this dress suitable for very cold weather?
The merino wool provides excellent natural insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer the dress with other suitable garments like leggings and a warm jacket.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The size 3-4 years is indicated. It is recommended to check the specific measurements provided by the brand or consult a sizing chart if available. The dress is designed for a comfortable, slightly roomy fit in the skirt.
Can this dress be worn for sleeping?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active daytime wear.
How often should I wash this merino wool dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and self-cleaning. You can often air the garment out between wears instead of washing. Wash only when necessary to preserve the fibers and reduce environmental impact.
What does '18.5 microns' mean?
Microns refer to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates a finer, softer wool that is less likely to feel itchy against the skin.
Are there other colors or sizes available?
This guide is for the Red, 3-4 size. Please refer to the product listing for information on other available colors and sizes.
What is the benefit of the rib surface?
The irregular rib surface provides a unique texture and can add to the garment's stretch and flexibility, contributing to a comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Garment feels itchy.
Ensure you are using the extra-fine merino wool specific detergent. Wash according to care instructions. The 18.5-micron wool is designed for softness, so itchiness is uncommon. Check that the correct size is being worn.
Dress lost shape after washing.
Ensure the garment was washed on a wool program and dried flat. Re-shape the dress gently while it is still damp. Avoid machine drying or high heat.
Wool feels stiff after washing.
This can sometimes happen if a non-wool detergent is used or if the garment is over-washed. Use a wool-specific detergent and follow the recommended care cycle. Airing the garment out may also help.
