FAQs

What makes Merino wool suitable for babies?

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating, making it ideal for babies. It wicks away moisture, keeps them warm in cooler temperatures, and can be worn directly against the skin without irritation.

Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?

No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear and active play.

How do I know if the size 12-18 months is correct?

The 12-18 months size is generally suitable for babies within that age range. It is recommended to check the specific measurements if available, or consider your baby's current size and growth rate.

Can this dress be worn in very hot weather?

Merino wool is breathable and can help regulate temperature. While it's great for moderate weather, for very hot and humid conditions, lighter, more breathable fabrics might be preferable. However, it can still be comfortable indoors.

What are the benefits of the ruffle details?

The ruffle details at the shoulders are purely decorative, adding a charming and elegant aesthetic to the dress, making it stand out from simpler designs.

How often should I wash this dress?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic materials. Wash only when visibly soiled or after a few wears. Airing the garment out between wears can help keep it fresh.

Troubleshooting

Dress feels itchy or rough

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and that the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Merino wool is naturally soft, but improper washing can affect its texture.

Dress has lost its shape after washing

Reshape the garment gently while it is damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid stretching or wringing the fabric. Ensure it was not tumble dried.

Small snags or pulls in the fabric

Gently pull the snagged thread from the inside of the garment if possible. Merino wool can be delicate, so avoid sharp objects or rough surfaces.
