FAQs
Can I machine wash this dress on a delicate cycle?
No, this dress is strictly Hand Wash Only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can easily damage the delicate sequin embellishments and the chiffon fabric, leading to detachment or tearing.
Is this dress suitable for a summer wedding?
While elegant, its heavily embellished and formal nature, combined with the polyester material, makes it more suitable for evening events or cooler-weather formal occasions like a winter wedding, formal cruise dinner, or Christmas celebration. It might be too warm or heavy for an outdoor daytime summer event.
What type of bra should I wear with this dress?
Due to the floaty cape-sleeved bodice and wrap style, a conventional bra should work well. If you prefer to avoid visible straps and depending on the exact neckline depth on your figure, a strapless or adhesive bra might be suitable.
Does the tie waist offer much adjustability?
Yes, the tie waist is a key feature designed for adjustability. It allows you to cinch the dress to your comfort and preferred silhouette, effectively flattering various waistlines and body shapes.
Will the sequins fall off easily?
The sequins are secured for normal event wear, but like all embellished garments, they require careful handling. Avoid rubbing the dress against abrasive surfaces, and always follow the hand wash instructions precisely to help preserve the embellishments.
What is the main material of the dress?
The dress and its lining are both made from 100% Polyester, offering durability, a good drape, and ease of care (with hand washing).
Can this dress be altered?
While alterations are generally possible for polyester garments, the extensive sequin embellishments can make alterations around those areas quite challenging and potentially costly. It is highly recommended to consult a professional tailor who has experience with formalwear and delicate embellishments.
Troubleshooting
Sequins or beads appear loose or detached.
Gently re-secure any loose embellishments with a small needle and matching thread. Avoid pulling or tugging at them to prevent further damage. If many are loose, consider professional repair.
Dress arrives with creases or wrinkles.
Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes to allow gravity and steam to gently release wrinkles. If using an iron, turn the dress inside out, place a pressing cloth over the fabric, and iron on the lowest setting, avoiding direct contact with sequins.
The wrap style doesn't feel secure or fit correctly.
Ensure the inner tie is securely fastened before adjusting the outer wrap panel. Experiment with how tightly you cinch the tie waist to find your most comfortable and flattering fit. The wrap design offers significant adjustability.
The dress feels slightly stiff or uncomfortable against the skin.
The dress has a 100% Polyester lining designed for comfort. Ensure the lining is properly aligned when worn. A gentle hand wash (following care instructions) might help soften the fabric slightly over time. If persistent, check for any snags on the lining.
Chiffon skirt appears snagged or pulled.
Chiffon is delicate. Gently try to smooth out snags with your fingers. Avoid pulling threads, as this can worsen the damage. Prevent future snags by being mindful of rough surfaces and jewelry.

Cons

Sizing and Fit
This dress is available in various UK women's dress sizes, including 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20. For the most accurate fit, always refer to the specific size guide provided by Roman. The wrap style with a tie waist offers flexibility, allowing you to adjust the fit to your comfort and preference.
Compatibility (Styling)
- Footwear: This maxi dress is best complemented by heels to enhance its formal appeal and ensure the correct hem length.
- Accessories: Given the dress's dazzling embellishments, opt for minimalist jewelry. Small stud earrings, a delicate bracelet, or a simple clutch bag will avoid overwhelming the look and allow the dress to shine.
- Outerwear: For cooler evenings, a simple, elegant shawl or a fitted, unembellished blazer in a complementary color can provide warmth without detracting from the dress's features.
Care Instructions
Maintaining the beauty of your Sequin Embellished Chiffon Wrap Maxi Dress requires careful attention due to its delicate embellishments and fabric:
- Hand Wash Only: Fill a clean basin with cool water and a small amount of mild, pH-neutral detergent specifically formulated for delicate garments. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Gentle Immersion: Turn the dress inside out to protect the sequins. Submerge the dress and gently swish it around in the water for a few minutes. Do not scrub, rub, or wring the fabric, especially the embellished areas.
- Thorough Rinsing: Drain the soapy water and refill the basin with clean, cool water. Rinse the dress thoroughly until all detergent is removed. Again, avoid wringing.
- Careful Drying: Gently press out excess water by rolling the dress in a clean, dry towel. Do not twist or wring. Lay the dress flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight or heat, to air dry. Ensure the embellished areas are not creased while drying.
- Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a garment bag to protect the sequins from snagging and dust, helping to maintain its pristine condition.
