Sorry can't help with the fitting aspect but I have many merino garments and always handwash in wool approved detergent as per instructions.

Has anyone had any experience with the fitting of this, specially on the larger sizes. And is it safe to machine wash?
From: Jac
A lot thinner fabric than I thought, fits well,found the size a good fit.

This dress is very stylish, however the material (merino wool) was very sheer and not as opaque as I had expected. You might need to purchase a slip for underneath or have the dress tailored to include a petticoat. Pretty.

I bought this dress and loved it, but none of the merino items from EziBuy are good to machine wash, even delicate cycle in a front loader - this dress went all waffle-weave after one wash, and the tops are similar. Turns out you can't treat them like Icebreaker gear!
