While elegant, this dress is best suited for smart-casual to semi-formal daytime or early evening events during Spring and Summer. For highly formal events, a different style might be more appropriate.

The dress is lined with 100% Polyester, providing comfort and ensuring opacity.

The product description indicates it runs 'True to size'. We recommend selecting your usual dress size. Refer to Roman's size guide for specific measurements if available.

This sleeveless dress is designed for warmer Spring and Summer weather. For colder conditions, you would need to layer it significantly with a warm bolero, cardigan, or jacket, and possibly thermal undergarments, which might alter the intended look.

To help prevent fading, always wash the dress on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach. Air drying also helps maintain print vibrancy.

Yes, this specific variant is labeled as a 'Petite' fit, meaning it's designed with proportions adjusted for shorter frames, typically affecting length and shoulder-to-waist measurements, to ensure a better fit.

A solid-colored bolero or short-cropped cardigan in a complementary shade (e.g., navy, white, or a color matching one of the print's accents) would work well to complete a polished look.

After machine washing, gently reshape the dress and lay it flat to dry or hang it. If wrinkles persist, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid direct high heat on the mesh.

Ensure the dress is worn true to size. The stretch fabric and ruching are designed to adapt. Gently adjust the fabric to allow the ruching to fall naturally over your curves. If sized incorrectly, the effect may be less flattering.

Always wash the dress on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Harsh detergents or aggressive washing can degrade the elastane fibers, affecting the stretch and feel. Air drying rather than tumble drying will also help preserve fabric integrity.
