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 do I know if the 6-9 months size is right for my baby?

The 6-9 months size is generally suitable for babies who have outgrown 3-6 months clothing and are not yet ready for 9-12 months. Refer to the brand's specific size chart if available for precise measurements.

Can I use regular detergent to wash this dress?

It is strongly recommended to use a detergent specifically formulated for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural lanolin from the wool fibers, making them dry, brittle, and less soft.

Why is merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is excellent for babies because it's naturally soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating. It keeps babies warm without overheating and is gentle on sensitive skin.

What does 'wool terry' mean?

Wool terry refers to a specific knit structure of wool fabric that resembles terry cloth. It often has loops on one side and a smoother surface on the other, providing extra softness and absorbency. In this case, it has a fuzzy inside and a smooth outer surface.

How often should I wash this wool dress?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Airing out the garment between wears can often suffice. Wash only when visibly soiled or when necessary, following the care instructions carefully.

Troubleshooting

Wool feels scratchy after washing.

Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and a gentle wool cycle. Avoid harsh detergents and high temperatures. Re-washing with a wool rinse or fabric conditioner designed for wool may help soften the fibers.

Dress has lost its shape.

Reshape the garment gently while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing the fabric during washing and drying.

Baby seems too warm.

While merino wool is temperature-regulating, consider the ambient temperature. This dress is best suited for moderate to cool conditions. For very warm environments, opt for lighter, less insulating fabrics.
