FAQs

What makes this strap top different from regular tank tops?

This top is made from a unique blend of 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk, offering natural temperature regulation, superior softness, and odour resistance that synthetic fabrics cannot match.

Can I wear this top in hot weather?

Yes, merino wool is highly breathable and thermoregulating, meaning it can help keep you cool in warmer weather by wicking away moisture. However, it is most effective as a base layer.

How often should I wash this top?

Thanks to the natural odour-resistant properties of merino wool, you can wear this top multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary to extend the garment's life.

Is the lace trim durable?

The lace trim is delicate and adds a touch of elegance. It requires gentle handling during washing and wear to maintain its appearance and integrity.

What size should I order?

This guide refers to size 4 (UK). Please refer to DILLING's official size chart for accurate measurements to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary between brands.

Can this be worn directly against the skin?

Absolutely. The blend of fine merino wool and silk is exceptionally soft and designed to be comfortable as a base layer directly against the skin.

What is the environmental impact of this product?

The use of organic merino wool signifies a commitment to more sustainable farming practices. Merino wool is a renewable and biodegradable fibre.

Troubleshooting

Top feels itchy

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been rinsed thoroughly. Merino wool is generally very soft, but initial washes can sometimes enhance this. If itchiness persists, it may be a sensitivity to natural fibres.

Garment has lost its shape after washing

Avoid machine drying and high heat. Always lay flat to dry and gently reshape the garment while it is still damp. For future washes, be sure to adhere strictly to the cold wash and flat dry instructions.

Delicate lace trim is snagged or damaged

Handle with care during washing and wear. If a snag occurs, do not pull it. Try to gently tease the fibre back into place. If significantly damaged, repair may be needed by a professional or through careful sewing.

Odour returns after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment is thoroughly rinsed. Using too much regular detergent can sometimes leave residue that holds onto odours. Ensure the garment is completely dry before storing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal regulation for all-day comfort.
  • Naturally odour-resistant, reducing the need for frequent washing.
  • Luxuriously soft against the skin due to the merino wool and silk blend.
  • Lightweight and breathable, perfect for layering.
  • Sustainable and natural materials.

Cons

  • Requires gentle washing to preserve the delicate lace trim and fabric integrity.
  • May not be suitable for very high-impact activities where maximum moisture-wicking is essential.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garment requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight from the packaging.

Compatibility: This strap top is designed as a base layer for women's apparel. It pairs well with other DILLING merino wool items or any clothing requiring a soft, warm, and breathable underlayer. It is suitable for adult wear and complements various styles from casual to slightly more formal.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle wool cycle at a maximum of 30°C.
  • Detergent: Use a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibres.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Reshape the garment while damp.
  • Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting with a damp cloth between the iron and the garment, avoiding the lace trim.
