FAQs
What makes this merino wool dress special?
The dress is made from exceptionally fine merino wool (18.5 micron), making it very soft, lightweight, and comfortable against a baby's sensitive skin. The knitting technique also allows for great flexibility.
Is this dress suitable for sleeping?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active daytime wear.
How often should I wash the merino wool dress?
Merino wool has natural odor-resistant and self-cleaning properties. Wash sparingly, ideally only when necessary, to maintain the fiber's quality and natural lanolin. Often, airing out the garment is sufficient.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can strip the natural oils from the wool, damaging the fibers and reducing its properties.
What does '18.5 micron' mean for the wool?
Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates finer fibers, which translate to a softer, less itchy, and more comfortable garment.
How do I ensure the best fit for my baby?
Refer to the DILLING size chart for the most accurate sizing. This specific item is for babies aged 9-12 months, but individual baby sizes can vary.
Can this dress be worn in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is a temperature-regulating fiber. It will help keep your baby warm in cooler temperatures and comfortable in warmer conditions due to its breathability and moisture-wicking properties.
Troubleshooting
Garment loses shape after washing
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle on your machine. Avoid harsh spinning and always dry flat.
Baby seems uncomfortable or itchy
While merino wool is generally soft, ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. The fine micron count (18.5) should minimize itchiness, but check for any loose threads or tags.
Stain removal is difficult
Treat stains gently and promptly with a wool-safe stain remover. Avoid vigorous rubbing, which can damage the fibers. Wash the garment afterward following the care instructions.
