FAQs

Is this dress suitable for all body types?

This dress is specifically designed for petite frames. While it aims for a flattering fit, individual body shapes may experience variations. The ruched bodice offers some flexibility.

What occasions is this dress best suited for?

It is ideal for semi-formal to formal events during spring and summer, such as weddings, parties, brunches, and special dinners.

Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?

Yes, you can layer it with a bolero, cardigan, or a tailored coat and pair it with tights and boots for cooler weather.

What type of undergarments should I wear?

A seamless bra is recommended to maintain a smooth silhouette under the polyester fabric. Consider the neckline when choosing bra styles.

How does the 'Petite' sizing differ?

Petite sizing generally means the garment has a shorter overall length, including sleeve length and torso length, compared to standard sizing, to better fit individuals with a shorter stature.

What accessories would best complement this dress?

Consider heels or elegant flats, a clutch or small shoulder bag, and subtle jewelry. A light bolero or wrap can add warmth and style.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes, or use a cool iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Refer to care label for specific ironing instructions.

Fit is not as expected

Check the size guide provided by Roman for specific measurements. Petite sizing can vary; consider if minor alterations are needed for a perfect fit.
