FAQs
What material is the Roman Ruched Hem Chiffon Bolero made from?
It is made from 100% Polyester chiffon, giving it a soft, sheer, and lightweight feel with a subtle shimmer.
How should I wash this bolero?
The bolero is machine washable. We recommend washing it on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Air dry flat or hang on a padded hanger to maintain its shape and fabric quality.
Is this bolero suitable for keeping warm?
No, this bolero is designed as a lightweight, sheer layering piece for style and arm coverage, not for warmth. It's ideal for moderate temperatures or indoor events.
What length is the bolero?
The bolero is cropped to the waist, with an approximate length of 46cm (18 inches) for a UK Size 16.
Does the bolero fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed for a women's regular fit and is generally true to UK dress sizes, ensuring a comfortable and expected fit.
Can I iron the chiffon bolero?
Yes, you can iron it on a very low heat setting. It's best to use a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect the delicate chiffon from direct heat and potential damage.
Troubleshooting
Bolero appears wrinkled or creased.
Gently steam the bolero or iron on the lowest heat setting with a pressing cloth. Hanging it in a steamy bathroom can also help relax creases without direct heat.
Fabric has a snag or small pull.
Carefully try to push the snagged thread back into the fabric using a needle from the inside. Avoid pulling or cutting the thread, as this can worsen the damage and create a hole.
Bolero doesn't seem to fit true to size.
Confirm you selected the correct UK dress size. If the fit is unexpectedly tight or loose, compare your body measurements against a standard sizing guide. Remember it's designed for a regular fit.
Bolero feels less 'shimmery' after washing.
The shimmer is an inherent quality of the polyester chiffon. Ensure you're washing it according to the care instructions (machine washable, gentle cycle). Avoid harsh detergents or high heat, which could potentially dull the fabric's finish over time.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Chiffon Bolero:
- Washing: Machine washable. For best results, wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. A mesh laundry bag can offer extra protection for delicate items.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent to preserve the fabric's integrity and color.
- Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or creasing. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade.
