FAQs

What is the primary material of this dress?

The main fabric composition is 95% Polyester and 5% Elastane, with a 100% Polyester lining. This blend provides comfort and a slight stretch.

Is this dress suitable for all seasons?

This dress is specifically highlighted as perfect for the upcoming Spring/Summer season due to its fabric and style. While it can be layered, its primary design intent is for warmer weather.

How should I wash and care for this dress?

The dress is machine washable. For best results, use a mild detergent on a gentle cycle, avoid bleach, and air dry. If ironing, use a low temperature setting on the reverse side.

Does this dress run true to size?

Yes, the Roman Abstract Print Gathered Shift Dress is described as 'True to size' with a 'Regular fit'. We recommend ordering your usual UK dress size.

Can this dress be dressed up or down?

Absolutely. Its versatile shift shape and abstract print make it suitable for various occasions. Pair it with a denim jacket and trainers for a casual look, or with sandals and subtle accessories for a more dressed-up Spring/Summer outfit.

Troubleshooting

The dress doesn't fit as expected.

This dress is designed for a 'Regular fit' and is 'True to size'. Double-check your measurements against a standard UK size chart and ensure you selected your usual size. The Elastane content provides some stretch, but if the fit is consistently off, consider sizing up or down.

The abstract puff print seems less vibrant after washing.

Ensure you are following the 'Machine Washable' care instructions precisely. Use a mild detergent, wash on a gentle cycle, and avoid harsh chemicals like bleach. If ironing, do so on a low setting from the reverse side to protect the print texture.
