FAQs
What material is the Abstract Side Ruched Dress made from?
The main fabric of the dress is 95% Viscose and 5% Elastane, providing comfort and stretch. It features a 100% Polyester lining.
How should I wash this dress?
This dress is machine washable. For best results, use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Air dry by laying flat or hanging to maintain its shape and fabric quality.
Is this dress suitable for all body types?
The dress features a flattering ruched waist detail and is designed for a Women's Regular Fit, stated to be true to size. This silhouette is generally complementary to many body types by accentuating the waist.
What season is this dress best suited for?
With its 3/4 sleeves and knee-length cut, this dress is perfectly suited for Autumn and Winter wear. It can be easily layered for added warmth.
Can I wear this dress for a formal event?
While stylish and chic, this dress is generally best suited for smart casual, office, or semi-formal Autumn/Winter events. For highly formal occasions, a more traditionally formal garment might be preferred.
How does the ruched waist enhance the dress's appearance?
The ruched waist detail is strategically placed to create a defined and cinched-in look, which helps to create a flattering hourglass silhouette and adds a touch of elegance to the design.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears creased after washing.
This is common with viscose blends. To minimize creasing, remove the dress from the washing machine promptly after the cycle ends. Air dry by laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger. If necessary, iron on a low heat setting while the dress is still slightly damp, or use a steamer.
Fit feels tighter or looser than expected.
While the dress is designed to be 'true to size' for a Women's Regular Fit, individual body shapes vary. Refer to the Roman brand's specific size guide if available. If the fit is consistently off, consider trying an alternative size.
Print seems less vibrant over time.
To preserve the abstract print, always wash the dress inside out. Use a mild, color-safe detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive agitation during washing. Air drying also helps prevent premature fading compared to high heat tumble drying.
Dress feels uncomfortable or itchy.
Ensure all tags have been removed. The dress's main fabric is a soft Viscose/Elastane blend with a Polyester lining, which should be comfortable. If discomfort persists, check for any detergent residue after washing or consider if you have a sensitivity to synthetic fabrics.
