FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
The Roman Petite range is designed specifically for smaller frames. This size 8 dress should fit according to standard petite sizing guidelines.
Can I put this dress in the tumble dryer?
It is not recommended. Polyester knits can shrink or become misshapen under high heat; air drying flat is the best practice.
What kind of shoes match this dress?
The shift style looks great with ankle boots, knee-high boots, or even loafers for a more casual look.
Does the material have any stretch?
Yes, the knitted polyester construction provides natural flexibility and stretch for comfort throughout the day.
Is this suitable for formal events?
The elegant pintuck detail makes it versatile enough for smart-casual events, though it is primarily designed for daytime or business-casual settings.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging
Gently pull the fabric taut around the snag and use a needle to carefully pull the loose thread through to the inside of the garment.
Static cling
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray before wearing.
Pilling after wear
Use a fabric shaver or a de-pilling tool to carefully remove small balls of fiber that may accumulate in high-friction areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roman Petite Knit Dress, always consult the internal care label before washing. Generally, polyester knits should be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cool water to prevent snagging or pilling. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches. Lay the dress flat to dry on a clean towel to maintain its shape, as hanging it while wet can cause the knitted fabric to stretch. Store the dress folded in a drawer rather than on a hanger to preserve the integrity of the shoulder seams and prevent distortion.
