Full details

This DILLING bodysuit is designed for infants and toddlers aged 18-24 months, offering unparalleled softness and comfort with its organic merino wool and silk blend. Its key benefit lies in natural thermoregulation and breathability, making it suitable for all-day wear during play or sleep. A potential consideration is its close fit, which, while comfortable, might feel restrictive to some parents if the child is between sizes.

FAQs

Is merino wool itchy for babies?

No, organic merino wool, especially when blended with silk, is exceptionally fine and soft. It is known for its non-itchy properties and is gentle even on the most sensitive skin.

Can this bodysuit be worn year-round?

Yes, the natural thermoregulation and breathability of the merino wool and silk blend make it suitable for all seasons. It keeps babies warm in winter and cool in summer.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the DILLING size chart for accurate measurements. The bodysuit is designed for a close, comfortable fit. Consider the child's current height and weight, and if between sizes, decide whether a closer or looser fit is preferred.

What is the benefit of the silk blend?

The silk blend enhances the softness and smoothness of the fabric, making it even gentler on the skin. It also contributes to the garment's breathability and luxurious feel.

How often should I wash the bodysuit?

Wash as needed. Merino wool is naturally odor-resistant and requires less frequent washing than synthetic fabrics. Airing out the garment can often refresh it between washes.

Does the brown color fade easily?

Proper care will help maintain the color. Washing with a wool-specific detergent at low temperatures and avoiding direct sunlight during drying will minimize fading.

What does 'thermoregulating' mean for a baby?

It means the fabric helps maintain a stable body temperature. If the baby is too warm, the fabric helps release heat and moisture; if the baby is cold, it helps retain warmth.

Troubleshooting

Bodysuit feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the child's current measurements. The design is a close fit, but if it feels restrictive, consider sizing up for more room. Check the size chart provided by DILLING.

Material feels less soft after washing

Use a wool-specific detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the natural fibers. Ensure the washing machine is set to a wool cycle and the temperature is not above 30°C. Air drying flat also helps maintain softness.

Snaps are difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the snaps are aligned correctly before fastening. If they feel stiff, try gently wiggling them. Over time and with use, they should become easier to operate. Check for any fabric obstruction around the snaps.

Bodysuit loses shape

Avoid tumble drying and high heat. Always lay the bodysuit flat to dry. Reshape the garment gently while it is damp. Merino wool has natural elasticity and should regain its shape with proper drying.
