FAQs

What makes merino wool suitable for children's clothing?

Merino wool is naturally soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for children's sensitive skin and active lifestyles. It keeps them warm when it's cold and cool when it's warm.

Can this dress be worn year-round?

Yes, the temperature-regulating properties of merino wool make it suitable for year-round wear. It's excellent for layering in colder months and breathable enough for milder weather.

How do I wash the merino wool dress?

Machine wash on a wool cycle at 30°C with a mild wool detergent. Do not bleach and dry flat. Avoid tumble drying.

Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?

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

What does 'oversized fit' mean for this dress?

An oversized fit means the dress is designed to be roomy and comfortable, with features like dropped shoulders. It allows for easy layering and provides freedom of movement.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the size chart provided by DILLING. The dress is available in sizes from 3-4 years up to 11-12 years (UK sizing). The listed size 5-6 refers to UK sizing.

Can the dress be ironed?

Yes, the dress can be ironed on a low setting if necessary. Ensure the garment is clean before ironing.

Troubleshooting

Wool feels itchy or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent. Wash the garment according to care instructions. Organic merino wool is naturally soft, so discomfort may be due to improper washing or residual detergent.

Garment has lost its shape after washing.

Merino wool should be reshaped while damp and dried flat. Avoid high heat drying or stretching the garment when wet. Follow the care instructions carefully to maintain shape.

Color appears faded.

Merino wool can be sensitive to prolonged direct sunlight. To maintain color vibrancy, dry the garment in the shade and store away from direct light.
