Can I wear this dress for casual outings?

Troubleshooting
The dress doesn't feel true to size, or the fit isn't quite right.
While described as 'True to size' and 'Regular fit', individual body shapes can vary. Double-check your measurements against Roman's size guide. If you're between sizes, consider the stretch fabric; often, the smaller size can accommodate, but if you prefer a looser fit, sizing up might be suitable.
The fabric appears wrinkled after washing.
Although polyester blends are generally wrinkle-resistant, machine washing can sometimes cause creases. Ensure you remove the dress promptly after the wash cycle and hang it to air dry. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer or iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out.
The keyhole detail isn't sitting correctly or looks uneven.
Adjust the dress on your body to ensure it's sitting symmetrically. Sometimes a slight tug on the shoulders or gently smoothing the fabric around the neckline can resolve minor alignment issues. Ensure the concealed hook is securely fastened.
The concealed zip at the back feels stiff or gets stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down, ensuring no fabric from the dress or lining is caught in the teeth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or specialized spray) can be applied carefully to the teeth, avoiding contact with the fabric.
The floral pattern seems less vibrant after washing.
To preserve fabric vibrancy, wash with like colors and use a detergent designed for colored garments. Always use cold or cool water temperatures, as high heat can sometimes affect dye stability over time. Air drying out of direct sunlight can also help.

Care Instructions

- Washing: This dress is `Machine Washable`. Always check the inner care label for specific temperature recommendations, but generally, a cool or warm wash cycle is suitable.
- Drying: To prevent damage and maintain fabric integrity, it's best to air dry by hanging the dress. Avoid high heat drying which can affect the stretch and shape of polyester blends.

- Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain its shape and prevent unnecessary creasing.
