FAQs

What makes Merino wool suitable for babies?

Merino wool is incredibly soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, keeping babies comfortable in both warm and cool conditions. It's also hypoallergenic and moisture-wicking.

Can this dress be worn in winter?

Yes, the Merino wool provides excellent insulation. For colder weather, it can be layered with other warm garments like leggings and a cardigan.

Is the dress machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C. Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

What does 'not intended for sleepwear' mean?

This means the dress is designed for daytime wear and active play. It does not meet the safety standards required for children's sleepwear, such as flame resistance.

How do I care for the ruffle details?

The ruffle details are knitted into the fabric and should be cared for using the same wool wash instructions. Avoid excessive pulling or snagging.

What is the benefit of the waist cut?

The cut across the waist creates a more defined and elegant silhouette for the dress, differentiating it from a simple shift dress and adding a stylish detail.

Troubleshooting

Dress seems too large/small

Please refer to the DILLING size guide for accurate measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your baby's current measurements.

Wool feels itchy

Genuine Merino wool is known for its softness. If itchiness occurs, ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. For very sensitive skin, consider wearing a thin cotton layer underneath.

Color faded after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Shrinking after washing

Always follow the recommended washing temperature (max 30°C) and avoid high heat or agitation cycles. Lay flat to dry.
