Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after unpacking or washing.
Hang the dress immediately after unpacking or washing. If creases persist, iron on a low heat setting on the reverse side of the fabric. A garment steamer can also be used.
Fit feels tighter or looser than expected.
This dress is designed to be true to size (UK 12, Regular fit). Ensure you've selected your standard size. If unsure, compare your measurements with Roman's official size guide. Consider that individual body shapes can influence how a 'true to size' garment fits.
Fabric feels less soft or has changed texture after washing.
Ensure you are using a gentle machine wash cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and especially drying, as high heat can affect viscose and elastane blends. Air dry to maintain fabric quality.
Color fading after multiple washes.
To prevent color fading, always wash with similar colors and turn the dress inside out before washing. Use cold water and a color-safe detergent. Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight when drying for extended periods.
