FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and temperature-regulating, making it ideal for babies' sensitive skin. It keeps them warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm.
Can this dress be worn in winter?
Yes, merino wool provides excellent insulation. For colder winter days, layering this dress over a DILLING merino wool base layer is recommended for maximum warmth.
Is this dress suitable for sleep?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active daytime wear.
How do I wash and care for the merino wool dress?
Machine wash on a wool program at max 30°C with wool detergent. Lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying and fabric softener.
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, softer, and less scratchy fiber, making the dress incredibly comfortable against the skin.
Can I use a regular detergent to wash this dress?
It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can be too harsh and may damage the delicate merino wool fibers, affecting their softness and performance.
What sizes are available for this dress?
This specific listing is for size 3-5. The DILLING Baby Merino Wool Dress with Ruffles is also available in other infant sizes, such as 6-9 months, 9-12 months, and 12-18 months.
Troubleshooting
Dress loses shape after washing.
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle (max 30°C). Lay flat to dry, reshaping gently while damp. Avoid wringing or stretching the garment.
Merino wool feels itchy.
This dress is made with 18.5 micron wool, which is exceptionally fine and soft. If itchiness occurs, ensure the garment is clean and that no harsh detergents or fabric softeners were used. Sometimes, a quick rinse with a wool conditioner can help.
Pilling on the fabric.
Some minor pilling is natural with merino wool, especially with frequent wear and washing. Use a fabric shaver gently to remove pills if they become noticeable. Reduce friction and wash less frequently if possible.
