FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

Yes, the Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is a regular fit and is designed to be true to your standard UK dress size.

Can I wear this in summer?

While the long sleeves and polyester fabric are designed for cooler seasons, it can be worn in milder weather depending on your personal comfort preference.

How should I store this dress?

It is best stored folded or hung on a soft, padded hanger to protect the integrity of the shirred bodice and fabric.

What shoes look best with this midi length?

This dress is highly versatile; ankle boots, knee-high boots, or block-heeled shoes all pair well with the midi-length cut.

What is the material composition?

The dress is crafted from polyester, chosen for its durability and ease of maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Shirred bodice feels too tight

Ensure the dress is pulled down correctly to align the shirring with your waistline; avoid pulling excessively as this may overstretch the fabric.

Elasticated cuffs feel restrictive

Gently pull the cuffs away from your wrist to ensure they aren't caught on inner seams, or try pushing the sleeves up slightly to forearm height for a different look.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering shirred bodice provides a customized fit
  • Sophisticated midi length suitable for various occasions
  • Easy-to-wear regular fit that is true to size
  • Elasticated cuffs add both comfort and style
  • Versatile design that transitions well from day to night

Cons

  • Polyester fabric may have less breathability than natural fibers
  • Specific care required to prevent fabric snagging or damage
  • Limited to one colourway options within the current collection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Roman Petite dress retains its shape and texture, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colours to avoid damage to the shirred fabric.
  2. Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can degrade the elasticity of the cuffs and bodice; hang-drying is recommended.
  3. Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, keeping it away from the shirred sections to prevent flattening the gathers.
  4. Storage: Store folded or on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the long sleeves and bodice.
