FAQs
Is this dress suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, 100% merino wool is known for its softness and hypoallergenic properties, making it excellent for sensitive skin.
Can this dress be worn in all seasons?
Merino wool offers excellent temperature regulation. It keeps children warm in cooler weather and breathable in warmer conditions, making it versatile for many seasons. However, it is not intended as sleepwear.
How does merino wool compare to regular wool?
Merino wool fibers are much finer than regular wool, making them significantly softer, less itchy, and more breathable.
What is the A-line shape?
An A-line shape is fitted at the shoulders and bust and gradually widens towards the hem, resembling the letter 'A'. This design offers comfort and ease of movement.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer, usually based on age or specific measurements like chest and height. For this specific product, the size UK 9-10 is available.
Can I machine dry this dress?
No, tumble drying is not recommended for merino wool as it can cause shrinkage and damage the fibers. Always lay flat to dry.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels scratchy
Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and have followed the correct washing and rinsing procedures. Sometimes, a few washes can soften the fibers further.
Dress has shrunk after washing
Check that the washing machine was set to a low temperature (max 30°C) and that the garment was not tumble dried. Lay flat to dry instead of using heat.
Color seems to fade
Wash the dress inside out in cold water and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Use a mild, color-safe detergent.
