FAQs
Is this dress suitable for very young children?
Yes, the size 3-4 UK is designed for young children. The fine merino wool is soft and gentle on sensitive skin, and the flexible design allows for comfortable movement.
Can this dress be worn in cold weather?
Merino wool naturally regulates temperature, providing warmth without overheating. For colder weather, it can be easily layered with tights, leggings, and a cardigan.
How do I wash the merino wool dress?
Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) using a mild wool detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
What does '18.5 micron' mean for the wool?
Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates finer wool, which is softer, lighter, and less likely to feel scratchy against the skin.
Why is this dress not intended for sleepwear?
While comfortable, the design and material are optimized for active wear and breathability during the day. Safety regulations for children's sleepwear often have specific requirements that this garment may not meet.
How should I store the dress when not in use?
Store the dress folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for extended periods, as this can cause stretching. Consider using natural moth repellents like cedarwood.
What other sizes are available for this dress?
This specific listing is for size 3-4 years. The DILLING Merino Wool Dress with Ruffles in Pink is also available in other children's sizes. Please refer to the product page or sibling information for other size options.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy or rough
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the washing instructions carefully. Fine merino wool should not be itchy, so re-washing with a wool-safe product may help soften the fibers. Avoid fabric softeners.
Dress has lost its shape after washing
Merino wool garments should be laid flat to dry and gently reshaped while damp. Avoid tumble drying or hanging the garment wet. Re-wetting the garment and laying it flat to dry again may help restore its shape.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling is a natural characteristic of wool fibers, especially with friction. Use a fabric shaver specifically designed for wool to gently remove pills. Avoid excessive rubbing during washing and wear.
Garment has shrunk
Shrinkage typically occurs due to excessive heat or agitation during washing or drying. Gently stretch the garment while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. It may not return to its original size, but this can help.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a wool program at a maximum of 30°C (86°F). Use a mild detergent specifically designed for wool. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the merino fibers.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay the dress flat on a drying rack or towel away from direct sunlight or heat to maintain its shape. Gently reshape while damp.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting (wool setting) while the garment is damp.
- Storage: Store folded in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging for long periods, as this can stretch the garment. Consider using moth repellents if storing for extended periods.
- General Tip: Wash less frequently to prolong the life of the garment. Airing the dress out between wears can often be sufficient for refreshing it.
