FAQs
Is this dress suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the dress is designed for everyday comfort and activity thanks to its soft merino wool terry fabric and practical design.
Can my child wear this dress in warm weather?
Merino wool is temperature-regulating. While it excels in cooler conditions, it can also help keep children comfortable in warmer weather by wicking moisture and allowing the skin to breathe.
How often should I wash this dress?
Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant. You can often air out the dress between wears. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions for wool garments.
What makes wool terry different from regular merino wool?
Wool terry has a slightly thicker quality with a soft, fuzzy inside and a smooth surface, providing extra softness and warmth compared to standard merino wool.
Is the purple color safe for children?
Yes, DILLING uses materials and dyes that are safe and non-toxic for children.
Can I use a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can use a regular washing machine, but only on the dedicated wool or delicate cycle with cold water and wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat and vigorous spin cycles.
What is the return policy if the size doesn't fit?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect its feel. If the issue persists, consider if the child has extreme sensitivities not typical for merino wool.
Dress has shrunk after washing
Avoid machine washing on high heat cycles or tumble drying. Always wash on a gentle wool cycle at low temperatures (max 30°C) and lay flat to dry. If shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp may help slightly, but prevention is key.
Pilling on the fabric
Some pilling is natural with wool fibers, especially with friction. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver. Washing inside out and using a laundry bag can minimize pilling.
Color fading
Wash the dress inside out in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use detergents free of harsh bleaching agents.
