FAQs
Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and play.
How often should I wash merino wool baby clothes?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Washing only when necessary helps maintain the fiber's integrity. Airing out the garment can often refresh it.
Can I use regular detergent on this dress?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool or delicates. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool and damage the fibers.
What makes merino wool good for babies?
Merino wool is exceptionally soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, keeping babies comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. It's also hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The dress should allow for free movement without being overly baggy. Check the size guide provided by DILLING and ensure your baby can crawl, reach, and play comfortably without restriction.
What should I do if the dress loses its shape?
Merino wool garments can sometimes lose shape if handled improperly. Reshape the garment gently while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching.
Troubleshooting
Merino wool feels itchy
Ensure you are using 100% fine merino wool, which is generally non-itchy. Washing with a wool-specific detergent can help soften the fibers. Ensure the garment is the correct size; if too tight, it might feel more noticeable.
Garment shrinks after washing
Always follow the care instructions precisely. Use a cold or wool-specific wash cycle (max 30°C) and avoid high heat in drying. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Color fades
Wash the garment inside out with like colors. Use a mild, color-safe detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
