Full details
This DILLING Strap Top is designed for adult women seeking comfortable, warm, and breathable base layers, especially for cooler weather. Its key benefit is the natural warmth and odor resistance provided by 100% Merino wool, allowing for extended wear between washes. A potential caveat is its delicate lace trim, which may require careful handling during washing.

FAQs
Is Merino wool suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, high-quality Merino wool, like that used by DILLING, has fine fibers that are soft and less likely to cause irritation compared to traditional wool. It's often recommended for sensitive skin.
How often should I wash this top?
Thanks to Merino wool's natural odor-resistant properties, you can wear the top multiple times between washes. Wash when it appears visibly dirty or if odor is noticeable. Airing it out can refresh it.
Can I wear this top in the summer?
While primarily designed for warmth, Merino wool is also breathable and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for milder summer days or as a base layer for strenuous activities where you might overheat.
What is the main advantage of Merino wool over synthetic base layers?
Merino wool offers natural temperature regulation, breathability, and odor resistance, while synthetic materials can sometimes trap odors and may not regulate temperature as effectively.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
The product description notes a body-conscious fit. If you are between sizes, consider ordering the larger size for a more relaxed fit, or the smaller size for a snugger, more fitted base layer feel.
Does the lace trim add any discomfort?
The lace trim is designed with elastic for comfort and is typically soft. However, individual sensitivity to materials can vary. If you have extreme sensitivities, it's worth considering.
Troubleshooting
Top feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the washing instructions. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper care can affect its feel.
Top has lost its shape
Merino wool garments should be laid flat to dry. Reshape the garment gently while damp. Avoid machine drying, which can cause shrinkage and loss of shape.
Lace trim snagged or damaged
Hand wash the affected area gently. Consider using a mesh laundry bag for all machine washes to protect the delicate lace from snagging on other items or the machine drum.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the Merino wool fibers.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry or hang to air dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can shrink the wool.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting.
- Washing with Lace: Due to the delicate lace trim, it is recommended to place the top in a mesh laundry bag before machine washing to prevent snagging.
