FAQs
Is Merino wool itchy for babies?
No, high-quality Merino wool, especially when blended with silk, is exceptionally soft and fine, making it non-itchy and comfortable against a baby's sensitive skin.
Can this bodysuit be worn in cooler weather?
While designed for summer, the Merino wool and silk blend offers excellent temperature-regulating properties, making it suitable as a base layer in cooler weather to provide warmth without bulk.
How often should I wash this bodysuit?
Wash as needed. Merino wool has natural antibacterial properties, so it doesn't require washing after every single use if it hasn't been soiled or doesn't smell. Follow the care instructions for best results.
What does 'pointelle needle pattern' mean?
Pointelle refers to a type of knitting technique that creates delicate, openwork patterns in the fabric, adding a decorative and textured look.
Is the pink color gender-specific?
The bodysuit is designed as unisex. The pink color family is a popular choice for infants and can be worn by any baby.
What are the benefits of the silk blend?
Silk adds extra softness, sheen, and temperature-regulating properties to the Merino wool, enhancing the overall comfort and luxury of the fabric.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the DILLING sizing chart for infants, which typically uses measurements like chest circumference and height. The bodysuit should fit snugly but allow for easy movement without being restrictive.
Troubleshooting
Bodysuit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the sizing guide and consider if your baby has had a recent growth spurt. The optimal fit should allow for free movement.
Material seems to be pilling
Pilling can occur with natural fibers like wool. This is normal and can be managed by gentle washing and avoiding excessive friction. Use a fabric comb or shaver carefully if needed.
Poppers are difficult to open or close
Ensure poppers are aligned correctly before fastening. If they feel stiff, try a gentle wiggle. Avoid forcing them, which could damage the fabric.
Bodysuit appears stretched out after washing
Ensure the garment is laid flat to dry and not hung when wet. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively during the wash or when wet.
