FAQs
Is this dress suitable for newborns?
The dress is designed for infants, with specific sizes available (e.g., 6-9 months). It's recommended to check the size chart for the best fit for your baby, keeping in mind their current measurements rather than just age.
Can this dress be worn in all seasons?
Yes, merino wool is a temperature-regulating fiber. It provides warmth in colder weather and breathability in warmer conditions, making it suitable for year-round wear when layered appropriately.
How do I wash the merino wool dress?
It is best to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to air dry.
Why is it not intended for sleepwear?
This garment is designed as regular daywear and does not meet the specific safety flammability standards required for sleepwear.
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 a finer fiber, which translates to a softer, less itchy, and more comfortable fabric against the skin.
How does the flexible knitting help my baby?
The knitting technique allows the fabric to stretch and move with your baby's body, providing comfort and freedom of movement whether they are crawling, playing, or simply relaxing.
Can I use a regular detergent?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can contain harsh chemicals that may strip the natural lanolin from the wool, reducing its softness and performance.
Troubleshooting
Garment appears to have lost its shape after washing.
Gently reshape the garment while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid excessive wringing or stretching during the wash.
Wool feels slightly stiff after drying.
This is normal for wool. The softness will return after the baby wears it and it adjusts to body warmth, or after a gentle iron on a low setting.
Baby experiences skin irritation.
While merino wool is known for being non-irritating, ensure no other factors are contributing. Re-check washing instructions and detergent used. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
