FAQs

Is this dress suitable for sleeping?

No, this dress is made from 100% merino wool and is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and layering.

How do I wash merino wool clothing?

Machine wash on a wool program at 30°C with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and high heat. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.

What makes merino wool good for babies?

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, hypoallergenic, and has excellent temperature-regulating properties. It keeps babies warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm, while wicking away moisture.

Can I use a regular detergent?

It is highly recommended to use a wool-specific detergent to protect the delicate fibers of merino wool and maintain its softness and longevity.

What does 'A-line cut' mean for this dress?

An A-line cut means the dress is fitted around the chest and shoulders and gradually widens towards the hem, creating a silhouette resembling the letter 'A'. This allows for comfortable movement.

What are the benefits of a high neckline?

A high neckline provides extra warmth and coverage for the baby's neck, which can be beneficial in cooler weather.

Where can I find other sizes or colors?

This product information indicates that other sizes and colors may be available from the brand DILLING. Please check the product listing or brand's official website for sibling products.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears to have shrunk after washing.

Merino wool can be sensitive to heat. Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle (30°C) and have avoided tumble drying. Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry.

Fabric feels less soft than before.

Use a wool-specific detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or high washing temperatures. Consider a gentle wool rinse aid if necessary, following product instructions.

Color seems to fade.

Wash the garment inside out in cold water and use a detergent free of optical brighteners. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
