FAQs
Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed for daytime wear.
How do I know if the size is correct?
The size is indicated as UK children's size 9-10. Please refer to standard children's size charts for measurements if unsure, though typically this refers to an age range.
Can I wash this dress in a regular washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but it must be on a dedicated wool program with a wool-specific detergent at a low temperature (usually 30°C).
How should I dry the dress?
It is best to lay the dress flat to dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as the heat can damage the merino wool fibers and cause shrinkage.
What makes merino wool special for children's clothing?
Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, and offers excellent temperature regulation, keeping children comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. It is also moisture-wicking and hypoallergenic.
Does the high neckline cause discomfort?
The high neckline is designed for comfort and coverage. Combined with the soft merino wool, it should not cause discomfort. However, if your child is particularly sensitive to necklines, it's worth considering.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This product is available in other sizes and may come in different colors. Please check the product listings for available variants.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy
Ensure the dress is 100% merino wool. Most merino wool is very soft; if irritation persists, check for any garment tags or seams that might be causing friction. Washing according to care instructions can also soften the fibers.
Dress has lost its shape
Merino wool can sometimes stretch if hung or subjected to high heat. Re-shape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine drying. If the issue is significant, consider hand washing and gentle reshaping.
Color fading
Wash the dress inside out with a wool-specific detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. If fading is noticeable, use a color-safe detergent designed for woolens.
