Product Information
Full details
The Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is designed for petite adults seeking a blend of comfort and elegance during cooler seasons. Its standout feature is the flattering shirred bodice combined with a midi length, providing a sophisticated silhouette that transitions easily from daytime errands to evening outings. While the polyester material is durable and easy to care for, users should note that the fabric weight is best suited for autumn and winter temperatures rather than high-summer heat.

FAQs
Is this dress true to size?
Yes, this garment follows a regular fit and is designed to be true to size for petite adult frames.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to check the specific care label on your garment, but air drying is always the best way to extend the lifespan of polyester and elasticated shirring.
What is the length of the dress?
The dress has a length of approximately 125cm.
Is the fabric stretchy?
The shirred bodice provides significant stretch and flexibility, while the rest of the dress maintains a comfortable, fluid drape.
Is this suitable for a formal event?
Depending on the styling, it can be dressed up with accessories to be appropriate for smart-casual or semi-formal events.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Hang the dress on a padded hanger; the weight of the fabric will naturally release minor creases.
Elasticated cuffs feeling too tight
Gently stretch the cuffs while the fabric is slightly damp after washing, or ensure they are positioned just above the wrist bones to avoid irritation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Roman Petite dress retains its shape and texture, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the shirred elastic.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to avoid heat damage to the fabric fibers; avoid tumble drying if the care tag allows for line drying.
- Compatibility: This item is designed as a true-to-size fit for petite adults. It pairs seamlessly with most seasonal footwear, including leather knee-high boots, suede booties, or flat loafers for a casual approach. Layer with tights underneath during particularly cold spells to extend the dress's usability into mid-winter.
