FAQs

Is this dress suitable for very young babies?

While made from soft merino wool, this dress is designed for older children (size 9-10 is indicated). For younger babies, please check DILLING's specific baby clothing range which may offer different fits and designs.

How do I know if my child will be too hot or too cold?

Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating. It helps keep children warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm by managing moisture and airflow. It's suitable for a wide range of temperatures.

Can this dress be worn year-round?

Yes, due to its thermoregulating properties, this merino wool dress is comfortable in various seasons. It can be worn alone in warmer weather or layered with other clothing in colder conditions.

What does '21.5 My' refer to?

'My' stands for micron, which is a unit of length. 21.5 My indicates the fineness of the merino wool fibers. A lower micron count means finer, softer wool, making this dress very comfortable and lightweight.

How does the fit work for active play?

The dress has a snug but comfortable fit on the upper body and a fuller, roomier skirt. Combined with the flexible knitting technique, this allows for complete freedom of movement for running and playing.

What is the difference between this and other wool dresses?

This dress is specifically made from 100% organic merino wool with a medium-fine gauge (21.5 My) for exceptional softness and lightness. It also features unique ruffle detailing and a knitting technique focused on flexibility for play.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels scratchy after washing.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct delicate wash cycle. Avoid fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry and gently reshape.

Pilling occurs on the fabric.

Pilling is a natural characteristic of merino wool over time. Gentle washing and minimal agitation can reduce this. You can use a fabric shaver carefully if needed.

Dress has lost its shape.

Reshape the dress gently while it is damp after washing. Ensure it is laid flat to dry and not hung, which can stretch the fabric.
