Product Information
Full details
The Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is a sophisticated midi-length choice designed specifically for petite figures who want to balance comfort and style during cooler seasons. Featuring a flattering shirred bodice, comfortable round neckline, and long sleeves with elasticated cuffs, this piece provides an elegant silhouette for both day and evening wear; however, those who prefer natural fibers should note it is constructed from synthetic polyester.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment fits true to size. To keep the dress in optimal condition, always check the garment label for specific temperature settings. Because of the polyester construction, the dress is generally resilient against wrinkles, making it an excellent travel option. Always machine wash on a delicate cycle to preserve the integrity of the shirred elastic detailing. Avoid high-heat drying, as this can potentially compromise the elasticity of the cuffs and bodice over time. Air drying on a hanger is recommended to maintain the length and shape of the midi skirt.
