What does 'peplum waist' mean?

Does the shirred bodice offer stretch?

Troubleshooting

Dress seems too tight or loose in the bodice.

The shirred bodice is designed to offer some flexibility. If it feels too tight, gently stretch it before wearing. If too loose, consider wearing a seamless undergarment for a smoother fit.

Fabric appears wrinkled after washing.

Ensure you are using the low heat setting for tumble drying or opt for line drying. If wrinkles persist, iron on a low setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric.

Sizing feels off for a petite fit.

Refer to the brand's specific size chart for petite measurements. Petite sizing can vary, so checking detailed measurements against your own is recommended before purchase.
