FAQs

Is this dress suitable for office wear?

Yes, the midi length and long sleeves provide a professional silhouette that can be easily dressed up with formal boots or accessories.

What is the total length of the dress?

The dress measures approximately 120cm in length.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking and to protect the integrity of the denim fabric and the print.

Is the material stretchy?

The shirred waist provides flexibility, but the denim itself is primarily structured and holds its shape well.

What size should I choose?

The dress is available in standard UK sizes; consult the brand's size guide and consider the nature of the shirred waist for your preferred fit.

Troubleshooting

Shirred waist feels too tight

The shirred elastic is designed to stretch; try wearing the dress for a short period to allow the fibers to relax naturally against your body.

Fabric appears slightly stiff after washing

Use a gentle fabric softener during the rinse cycle and avoid tumble drying to maintain a softer hand-feel.

Wrinkling at the hem

Use a low-temperature steam iron or a garment steamer, keeping the steam away from direct contact with the animal print surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering fit thanks to the shirred waist detail
  • Versatile midi length suitable for different styling options
  • Easy to layer with jackets and boots for seasonal transitions
  • Machine washable for convenient maintenance
  • Classic round neckline and long sleeves provide a balanced look

Cons

  • Material may be heavier than lighter cotton dresses
  • The specific animal print pattern may not suit all personal style preferences
  • Denim can sometimes feel restrictive compared to stretchier jersey fabrics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Roman dress looking its best, always check the internal care label before the first wash. As a denim-based garment, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with like colors to prevent any color transfer. Turn the dress inside out to protect the animal print pattern during the wash cycle. Because it is a midi dress, it pairs exceptionally well with ankle boots, knee-high boots, or even minimalist white sneakers for a more relaxed aesthetic. Avoid using harsh bleaches or high-heat tumble drying, as these can break down the fibers and fade the pattern. Air drying on a hanger is the best method to preserve the length and shape.
