FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
Yes, the Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is designed with a regular fit and is true to size.
Can I tumble dry this dress?
It is generally recommended to air dry or hang dry to preserve the elasticity of the shirred section and the integrity of the polyester fabric.
What kind of shoes match this midi style?
This dress is highly versatile; it looks great with ankle boots, knee-high boots, or even smart flats.
Is the fabric heavy?
The polyester material is designed for cooler seasons, offering warmth without being overly bulky.
Does the bodice stretch?
The shirred design is inherently stretchy, which allows for a comfortable fit that contours to your body.
Troubleshooting
Static cling in dry weather
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with a fabric-safe anti-static spray or use a dryer sheet on the underside.
Minor wrinkling after storage
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom while showering or use a garment steamer on a low setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always follow the care label instructions. Because the dress is made of polyester, it is best machine washed on a gentle cycle in cool water. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as these can compromise the synthetic fibers and affect the blue color vibrancy. When drying, it is recommended to hang the dress or lay it flat to prevent unnecessary stretching of the shirred bodice. For storage, keeping the dress on a padded hanger will help maintain the structure of the neckline and sleeves.
