FAQs

Is this dress suitable for sleepwear?

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

How does merino wool keep my baby warm?

Merino wool has natural insulating properties. The fibers trap air, creating a layer of warmth. It also wicks away moisture, preventing chills from dampness.

Can I use regular detergent to wash this dress?

It is highly recommended to use a detergent specifically designed for wool. Regular detergents can be too harsh and damage the delicate merino wool fibers.

What does 'wool terry' mean?

Wool terry refers to a knit fabric construction that creates loops on one side, similar to cotton terrycloth. In this case, it's made with merino wool, giving it a slightly thicker, softer, and fuzzier feel, especially on the inside.

How often should I wash this dress?

Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and can be worn multiple times between washes. Wash only when necessary, following the care instructions, to preserve the fiber quality.

What is the benefit of the ribbed cuffs and hem?

The ribbed cuffs and hem provide a snug fit that helps keep the garment in place, preventing it from riding up and offering better insulation by sealing out drafts.

Troubleshooting

Garment appears stretched after washing

Reshape the garment gently while damp and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting.

Mild odor persists after washing

Ensure you are using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wool wash cycle. Airing the garment out can also help.

Fabric feels rough or less soft

Check if the garment was washed with harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can damage wool fibers. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are followed.
