Can I machine wash this dress?

Troubleshooting
Fabric appears wrinkled after storage
Use a low-heat garment steamer or hang the dress in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to let steam gently release creases.
Static cling during dry weather
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with a fabric-safe anti-static spray or run a metal hanger along the inside of the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Roman Petite Stretch Dress, it is important to follow standard care procedures for stretch polyester garments. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings. Generally, a gentle cycle in cool water is recommended to preserve the elasticity of the fabric. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers over time; air drying on a hanger is the best method to maintain the shape and drape of the dress. When styling, this black piece is highly compatible with neutral tones, bold patterns, or metallic accessories, making it a functional base layer for numerous seasonal outfits.
