FAQs
What makes this dress different from a regular dress?
This dress is made from a special 'wool terry' fabric, which is a thicker, softer knit of organic merino wool. It offers superior temperature regulation and a gentle feel on sensitive skin compared to standard cotton or synthetic materials.
Is merino wool suitable for all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is naturally thermoregulating. It keeps children warm in cooler temperatures by trapping air and helps them stay cool in warmer weather by wicking away moisture from the skin.
Can my child wear this for sleeping?
No, this dress is designed for active wear and is not intended for sleepwear. It does not meet the safety standards for children's sleep garments.
How do I know what size to order?
The product specifies UK children's sizes. Please refer to the size chart provided by DILLING, which typically correlates UK sizes with age ranges, to find the best fit for your child.
How often should I wash the dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't need to be washed after every wear. Airing the garment out between wears can often suffice. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions carefully.
Is the purple color suitable for boys and girls?
Yes, the dress is designed as unisex, and the purple color family is versatile and suitable for all children.
What does 'wool terry' mean?
Wool terry refers to a specific knit construction of merino wool that results in a looped, towel-like texture on the inside, making it extra soft and absorbent, while the outside remains smooth.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy or less soft after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and a low-temperature wash cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry and reshape gently.
Dress appears to have shrunk.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you used a cool wash and did not tumble dry. Reshape gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat in future washes.
Color fading.
Wash inside out and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use a color-safe detergent if washing with other dark items.
