FAQs
What makes merino wool suitable for babies?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating, meaning it helps keep babies warm in the cold and cool in the heat. It's also hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking, which is ideal for sensitive baby skin.
Can this dress be worn in all seasons?
Yes, the natural properties of merino wool make it versatile. It provides warmth in cooler weather and breathability in warmer conditions, making it suitable for year-round wear, though it's not intended for sleepwear.
How do I wash this merino wool dress?
It's best to machine wash cold on a gentle or wool cycle with a mild wool detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Lay flat to dry, and do not tumble dry.
Is this dress suitable for very young babies?
This specific variant is for sizes 12-18 months. DILLING offers merino wool clothing in various sizes suitable for younger infants as well.
What is the A-line shape?
An A-line shape is fitted at the shoulders and gradually widens towards the hem, resembling the letter 'A'. This design offers comfort and freedom of movement for babies.
Are the scalloped edges durable?
The scalloped edges are a finishing detail. With proper care and gentle washing, they maintain their shape and integrity. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive force on these areas.
Troubleshooting
Garment appears to have shrunk after washing.
Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and laying flat to dry. Minor stretching might be possible when the garment is damp. Avoid tumble drying at all costs.
Itchy sensation reported by the baby.
While high-quality merino wool is known for being non-itchy, individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure the garment is properly rinsed to remove any detergent residue. Check that no tags are causing irritation.
Pilling observed on the fabric.
Some pilling is natural with wool garments, especially when new. This can be managed by using a fabric shaver gently on the affected areas. Proper washing and minimal friction during wear can reduce pilling.
