FAQs
What makes this merino wool dress special?
The dress is made from exceptionally fine merino wool (18.5 micron), making it incredibly soft, lightweight, and comfortable against the skin. Its natural temperature-regulating and breathable properties are ideal for active children.
Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?
No, this dress is not intended for sleepwear. It is designed as active and everyday wear.
How should I wash the merino wool dress?
Machine wash on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C using a wool-specific detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Can children with sensitive skin wear this dress?
Yes, the fine merino wool is known for its softness and is generally well-tolerated by children with sensitive skin, unlike coarser wool types.
What is the fit of the dress?
The dress has a close but comfortable fit on the top half, with a roomy and loose skirt to allow for maximum freedom of movement during play.
Are there other colors available?
Yes, this DILLING merino wool dress with ruffles is available in other colors, such as Pink. Please check the product listing for other available options.
What does the "18.5 micron" refer to?
Micron refers to the diameter of the wool fiber. A lower micron count, like 18.5, indicates finer fibers, resulting in a softer and less prickly fabric.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears to have shrunk after washing
Ensure you used a wool or delicate cycle at 30°C and a wool-specific detergent. Avoid high heat in the dryer or direct sunlight when drying. If minor shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp may help.
Itchy sensation reported by child
The merino wool used is very fine (18.5 micron) and designed to be non-itchy. Ensure the care instructions have been followed, as improper washing can affect the fiber's texture. Check for any loose threads or seams that might be causing irritation.
Ruffles look flat or misshapen
Gently reshape the ruffles while the garment is damp after washing. Avoid excessive heat during drying, which can flatten the fabric. A low-heat iron can also help restore their shape.
