FAQs
What material is the Roman Floral Print Ruched Stretch Dress made from?
The dress is made from 95% Polyester and 5% Elastane, with a 100% Polyester lining, offering a soft and comfortable stretch jersey fabric.
Is this dress suitable for formal occasions?
While it's versatile, it's best suited for smart casual or office wear. For more formal events, consider pairing it with elegant accessories and court heels. It may not be suitable for very high-tier formal events.
How do I determine the correct size?
The product description mentions 'Size 14' and 'figure skimming.' For best fit, refer to Roman's specific size chart, often found on their official website, and compare your body measurements. The stretch in the fabric provides some flexibility.
Can I wear this dress in the summer?
The 3/4 sleeves and polyester blend make it more ideal for cooler seasons like autumn and winter. However, for mild summer evenings or air-conditioned environments, it could still be a comfortable choice due to its soft, breathable lining.
Does the dress have a zipper or other fastenings?
No, this dress features a 'smooth pull on design' for easy dressing, meaning it does not have any zippers, buttons, or other traditional fastenings.
How long is the dress?
The dress is knee-length, with an approximate length of 102cm from shoulder to hem, as stated in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Dress appears wrinkled after washing.
While the stretch jersey is wrinkle-resistant, minor wrinkles can occur. Air dry flat or hang immediately after washing. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer or iron on a low heat setting from the inside out.
Dress doesn't feel as 'figure-skimming' as expected.
Ensure you have the correct size. The 'figure-skimming' effect is achieved through the stretch fabric and ruched details, which work best when the dress fits appropriately. Consider the styling; certain undergarments can also enhance the silhouette.
Fabric feels less soft after multiple washes.
This can sometimes happen with synthetic blends. Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh fabric softeners that can build up on the fibers. A fabric conditioner designed for synthetics might help.
Color seems to be fading slightly.
Always wash in cold water with a color-safe detergent. Turn the dress inside out before washing to protect the outer print. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during drying.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the dress's appearance and longevity.
- Washing: Machine wash the dress according to the label's instructions. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water to prevent color fading and fabric damage.
- Detergent: Use a mild, color-safe detergent.
- Drying: Avoid high heat drying. Tumble dry on a low setting or, preferably, lay flat or hang to air dry to prevent shrinkage and maintain fabric integrity. The polyester content makes it relatively quick-drying and resistant to wrinkles.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. The stretch jersey fabric is generally resistant to heavy creasing, often requiring only light steaming or a quick touch-up.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent unnecessary wrinkles.
