FAQs
What material is the Roman Floral Side Button Dress made from?
This particular variant of the Roman Floral Side Button Dress is made from high-quality wool, providing warmth and a luxurious feel suitable for cooler seasons.
How should I wash this wool dress?
For best results and to preserve the wool's quality, it is recommended to hand wash in cold water with a wool-specific detergent or dry clean. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.
Is this dress suitable for all seasons?
Due to its wool material, this dress is primarily designed for Autumn and Winter wear, offering warmth and comfort in cooler temperatures.
What kind of fit does this dress have?
It features a flattering fit and flare silhouette, which is designed to be fitted at the bust and waist, then gradually widening out at the hem for a graceful, elegant look.
Are the side buttons functional?
The side buttons on this dress are a fashionable design detail and are not functional for opening or closing the garment. The dress is designed to be slipped on.
Can I iron this dress?
Yes, you can iron the dress on a cool setting, preferably inside out or using a pressing cloth. Steaming is often a gentler and effective alternative for removing wrinkles from wool.
Troubleshooting
Dress feels itchy or uncomfortable.
While wool is naturally soft, individual sensitivities vary. Try wearing a thin, long-sleeved camisole or slip underneath to create a barrier against the skin. Ensure the garment is clean and properly rinsed, as detergent residue can sometimes cause irritation.
Dress has shrunk after washing.
This typically occurs if wool is washed in hot water or tumble-dried. Unfortunately, shrinkage can be difficult to reverse completely. Always follow the care label for washing instructions, preferably hand washing in cold water or dry cleaning, and air drying flat.
Fabric appears to be pilling (small balls of fibre).
Pilling is a natural characteristic of some wool types due to friction. Gently remove pills using a fabric shaver, a specialized wool comb, or by carefully snipping them off with small scissors. Regular care can minimize pilling.
Dress has wrinkles that won't come out.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a handheld garment steamer. If using an iron, always set it to a low, wool-appropriate temperature, use a pressing cloth, and iron inside out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Wearing Your Dress
- Preparation: Ensure the dress is clean and free of wrinkles. A quick steam can refresh the fabric.
- Putting On: The dress is designed for easy wear. Slip it on over your head and adjust the fit. The side buttons are a fixed decorative detail and do not function for opening/closing the dress.
- Styling: This dress is highly compatible with cool-weather accessories. For a complete look, consider:
- Footwear: Ankle boots (leather or suede), knee-high boots, or elegant low-heeled shoes.
- Legwear: Opaque or semi-opaque tights in black or a complementary colour to provide warmth and complete the silhouette.
- Outerwear: A tailored wool coat, a fitted jacket, or a chic cardigan can be layered over the 3/4 sleeves for added warmth and style.
- Accessories: Simple jewellery, a belt to further define the waist, or a stylish handbag can enhance the overall outfit.
Product Care
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the quality and longevity of wool garments. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.
- Washing: Wool can be delicate. It is generally recommended to hand wash in cold water with a mild wool-specific detergent or to dry clean. Avoid machine washing unless the label explicitly states "machine washable wool" on a gentle cycle.
- If hand washing, gently agitate the water, do not wring or twist the fabric.
- Drying: Lay the dress flat on a clean towel to air dry. Reshape it gently to its original form. Never tumble dry wool, as this can cause shrinkage and damage to the fibres. Avoid hanging wet wool, as it can stretch out of shape.
- Storage: Store the dress folded neatly in a drawer or on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a cool iron or a steamer on a low setting. Iron inside out if possible. For steaming, hold the steamer a few inches away from the fabric and move it gently over the surface to remove wrinkles.
- Pilling: Over time, wool garments may develop small pills (small balls of fibre) on the surface. These can be carefully removed with a fabric shaver or a specialized depilling comb.
