Full details
The Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is designed for petite women who seek a blend of comfort and elegance for the cooler months. Featuring a flattering shirred bodice and long sleeves, it provides a sophisticated midi-length silhouette that works well for both casual and semi-formal settings. While its polyester construction ensures durability and easy care, potential buyers should note that the regular fit is tailored specifically to petite proportions, which may require careful sizing for those who fall outside standard measurements.

Troubleshooting
Dress appears too long after washing
Ensure you are hanging the dress to dry properly. Avoid using heavy hangers that may stretch the fabric while damp.
Shirring feels tight
The bodice is designed to be form-fitting. If it feels restrictive, check that you have selected the correct size according to your measurements.
Static buildup
Polyester can generate static. Use a fabric softener during the wash or a light anti-static spray on the interior of the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and wash with similar colors to prevent dye transfer.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the elastic shirring. Avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the elastic cuffs and bodice structure.
- Ironing: Polyester is generally wrinkle-resistant, but if needed, use a low-heat iron setting. Do not iron directly over the shirred sections to avoid stretching the elastic.
- Storage: Hang the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure the length hangs straight.
