FAQs
What makes this dress special for babies?
The dress is made from particularly fine Merino wool (18.5 micron), making it exceptionally soft, lightweight, and comfortable against a baby's delicate skin. The knitting technique also allows for great flexibility.
Is this dress suitable for sleeping?
No, this garment is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for active daytime wear.
How do I wash a Merino wool dress?
Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Dry flat and do not tumble dry.
What does 'fine Merino wool' mean?
Fine Merino wool refers to wool fibers with a very small diameter (measured in microns). In this case, 18.5 microns, which results in a much softer, less itchy, and lighter fabric compared to coarser wools.
What is the fit like?
The dress has a close but comfortable fit on the top half, while the skirt is designed to be roomy and loose, allowing for easy movement.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This guide focuses on the 'Pink - 6-9' size. Please check the product listing for other available sizes and colors.
Can this dress be worn year-round?
Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, making it suitable for various seasons. Its breathability keeps babies cool in warmer weather, while its insulating properties offer warmth in cooler conditions.
Troubleshooting
Dress loses shape after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle wool cycle and appropriate wool detergent. Avoid harsh spinning or tumble drying. Reshape the garment while damp and dry flat.
Baby appears uncomfortable or too warm
While Merino wool is breathable, ensure the room temperature is appropriate. For very active babies, consider layering thinner garments underneath or choose lighter materials for warmer weather. This dress is not intended for sleepwear where overheating can be a concern.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with friction. This can be managed with a fabric shaver. Ensure the garment is washed inside out to minimize friction.
