FAQs

Is the dress true to size?

Yes, the Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is designed as a regular fit and is true to standard UK petite sizing.

What is the total length of the dress?

The dress measures approximately 125cm in length.

Can I put this dress in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to hang dry this garment. High heat from a tumble dryer may damage the elastic shirring and cause the polyester fabric to shrink.

Is this suitable for formal occasions?

Yes, its sophisticated silhouette and classic collar make it an excellent choice for smart-casual or semi-formal events when paired with the right accessories.

Does the button front open completely?

The button front is designed as a feature; for ease of dressing, the shirred bodice provides enough stretch to pull the dress on easily.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after storage

Lightly steam the garment or hang it in a steamy bathroom for several minutes to allow the wrinkles to release naturally.

Elastic in the shirred bodice feels tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements; if persistent, avoid machine drying as high heat can cause elastic to contract further.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering shirred bodice design
  • Versatile style suitable for day-to-night transitions
  • Easy-care polyester material
  • Includes thoughtful details like a button front and collar

Cons

  • Polyester material may not be as breathable as natural fibers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment is designed to be a 'ready-to-wear' piece. Since it is crafted from polyester, it is relatively resistant to wrinkling, making it ideal for travel or busy schedules.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the shirred elastic.
  2. Use cold water to prevent color fading.
  3. Hang to dry when possible to maintain the 125cm length and prevent shrinking.
  4. If ironing is required, use a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric.
