FAQs
Is this dress suitable for sleeping?
No, this baby wool terry dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active wear during waking hours.
How is wool terry different from regular merino wool?
Wool terry has a slightly thicker quality and features a soft, fuzzy inside, making it feel extra soft and cozy compared to DILLING's standard merino wool.
What makes merino wool good for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and has excellent temperature-regulating properties, keeping babies comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. It is also hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as they can damage the merino wool fibers.
How often should I wash this dress?
Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. Airing out the garment between wears can help reduce the frequency of washing.
What is the best way to dry the dress?
Always lay the garment flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Gently reshape the dress while it is still damp. Never tumble dry.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This particular product is available in Purple for size 12-18 months. Other sizes and colors, such as Pink, may be available in different product listings.
Troubleshooting
Garment loses shape after washing
Ensure you are washing on a delicate wool cycle at 30°C and always lay flat to dry, reshaping gently while damp. Avoid harsh detergents or high spin speeds.
Slight shrinkage observed
Merino wool can sometimes shrink if exposed to high heat. Ensure you are not using a hot wash cycle or tumble drying. If slight shrinkage has occurred, gently stretch the garment while damp.
Irritation despite being wool
While merino wool is naturally soft, ensure the garment is clean and free from detergent residue. Check that no tags or seams are causing friction. Always follow care instructions for maximum softness.
