Product Information

Full details

The Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is designed for petite women seeking a blend of comfort and sophisticated style during cooler months. Featuring a flattering shirred bodice and classic button-down design, it provides an effortless silhouette suitable for both casual daytime outings and evening events. While the polyester fabric is durable and easy to care for, users should note that the midi-length design is tailored specifically to a petite frame, so height proportions should be considered for optimal fit.

FAQs

Is this dress true to size?

Yes, the Roman Petite Shirred Bodice Dress is designed with a regular fit that is true to standard UK sizing.

Can I put this dress in the tumble dryer?

While the fabric is machine washable, we recommend air-drying to ensure the longevity of the elastic shirring and button details.

What is the total length of the dress?

The dress length is approximately 125cm, designed specifically for a petite silhouette.

Is the fabric heavy?

The polyester material is mid-weight, providing warmth for cooler months without feeling overly heavy or bulky.

How should I clean the dress if I spill something on it?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent, or machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Troubleshooting

Shirred fabric looks slightly stretched after long-term wear

A quick steam or light wash/dry cycle can help the elastic in the shirring regain its tension.

Dress appears wrinkled from storage

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to release creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flattering, adjustable fit thanks to the shirred bodice
  • Versatile style suitable for day-to-night transitions
  • Easy-care machine washable material
  • Classic design elements like the button-front and collar

Cons

  • Fabric is polyester, which may be less breathable than natural fibers
  • Midi length may require specific footwear to avoid appearing overwhelmed
  • Long sleeves might not be suitable for indoor environments with heavy heating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As a ready-to-wear garment, there is no setup required other than standard laundering before the first wear. The dress is designed to be machine washable, though it is recommended to wash in cool water and hang dry to preserve the integrity of the shirring and the button placket. When styling, this dress is compatible with a wide range of footwear, from casual flat knee-high boots to block-heeled ankle boots. Store the dress on a padded hanger to maintain the structure of the collar and the flow of the skirt.
