FAQs

What material is the dress made of?

The dress is made from 100% Cotton, ensuring it is breathable and comfortable for warmer weather.

What is the length of the dress?

The dress has a midi length, approximately 125cm from shoulder to hem.

How should I wash this dress?

The dress is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

Is this dress suitable for formal occasions?

While the dress can be dressed up with heels and accessories for semi-formal events like garden parties, its primary design leans towards smart-casual wear.

Does the shirring offer stretch?

The shirred bodice provides a comfortable fit and adds texture. While it offers some give, it's primarily a design feature and not elasticated in the way activewear might be.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Given that it's a regular fit and true to size, if you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit. If you prefer a slightly looser feel, you might consider sizing up. Please refer to the specific size chart provided by Roman for precise measurements.

Can this dress be worn in cooler weather?

Yes, the dress can be layered effectively. It pairs well with denim jackets, cardigans, blazers, and tights for cooler temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Dress seems to have shrunk after washing.

Ensure you followed the washing instructions carefully, using a cool or lukewarm water setting and avoiding high heat during drying. For future washes, consider air drying or tumble drying on the lowest possible heat setting.

Shirring appears stretched or lost its texture.

Avoid excessive stretching or wringing of the shirred area. Gentle washing and careful handling during drying are key. If the issue persists, consider professional dry cleaning for delicate fabrics.

Color has faded significantly.

Wash the dress inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid exposing the dress to direct sunlight for prolonged periods when drying, as this can cause fading. Consider using a color-safe detergent.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Try using a fabric softener during the rinse cycle or re-washing with a small amount of white vinegar. Ensure all detergent residue is fully rinsed out.
