Abstract Swirl Midi Dress - Roman Petite - Blue - UK 16

The 'Petite' designation indicates that this dress is specifically designed with shorter body proportions in mind, typically for individuals 5'3" (160 cm) or under, ensuring a better fit in length and body rise compared to standard sizing.

Yes, its 3/4 sleeves and midi length make it versatile. It can be worn in cooler months with tights and boots, or in transitional weather as is. The polyester fabric may feel warmer than natural fibers in very hot climates.

For best results, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to maintain the dress's shape and prevent fabric damage. Iron on a low setting if needed, ideally inside out.

While polyester fabrics often have some inherent give, this dress is not explicitly marketed as a 'stretch' dress. The fit-and-flare design and gathers provide comfort and flexibility without relying on significant elastane content.

This dress is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of occasions, from professional office wear and casual daytime outings to evening events and semi-formal gatherings. Its elegant design makes it easy to dress up or down.

The dress has an approximate length of 110cm, measured from the shoulder to the hem, which typically falls to a midi length.

Gently steam the dress or iron on a low heat setting to smooth out wrinkles. Ensure the dress is slightly damp for best results when ironing, or iron inside out.

This dress is specifically designed for petite frames. If you are not petite, the proportions may not be ideal. Consider consulting a tailor for minor adjustments if necessary, or ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Roman Petite size guide.

To prevent pilling and maintain fabric quality, wash the dress inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid abrasive surfaces and harsh detergents. If pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can carefully remove it.
