FAQs
Is this dress suitable for all seasons?
Its short sleeves and tropical print make it primarily ideal for warmer seasons like spring and summer. However, it can be styled for cooler weather by layering with a cardigan, light jacket, or tights.
Does the dress wrinkle easily?
The polyester and elastane blend is designed for wrinkle resistance, making it a great choice for travel or long days. Following proper care instructions (especially hanging to dry) will further minimize wrinkles.
What type of bra should I wear with the V-neckline?
A standard V-neck bra or a plunge bra works well with this neckline. For a more modest look, you could wear a camisole underneath.
How true to size is this dress?
Roman dresses typically run true to UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual size. The stretch in the fabric also provides a forgiving fit.
Can I wear this dress to a formal event?
This dress is best suited for casual to semi-formal occasions, such as daytime gatherings, brunches, or relaxed evening events. Its print and jersey fabric might not align with very strict formal dress codes.
How do I best accessorize this multicolor dress?
Given its vibrant print, accessorize with solid, neutral colors to complement rather than compete with the dress. Gold or silver jewelry, a solid-colored clutch, and simple heels or sandals work beautifully.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy after washing.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding high heat drying. High temperatures can damage the elastane fibers, leading to a loss of stretch. Always refer to the care label.
Print appears faded or dull.
Always wash the dress inside out to protect the print from friction during the wash cycle. Using a detergent specifically designed for colors can also help preserve vibrancy.
Dress seems shorter or longer than expected.
The dress length is approximately 101cm. Perceived length can vary significantly based on individual height and torso length. Check the measurement against your own body. Different footwear can also adjust the perceived length.
Dress wrinkles easily when packed for travel.
While the stretch jersey is wrinkle-resistant, tight packing can still cause creases. Roll the dress instead of folding it, and consider hanging it immediately upon arrival at your destination to allow any minor wrinkles to relax.

- Effortless Maintenance: Machine washable material significantly reduces the time and effort required for garment care.

Cons

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and appearance of your dress, please follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Always turn the dress inside out to protect the print from friction and fading.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent formulated for colors. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, which can damage the fabric and print.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry to preserve the fabric's elasticity and prevent shrinking. Excessive heat can degrade the elastane fibers.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid direct contact with any printed areas if possible, or iron inside out. Use a pressing cloth for added protection.
- Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain the dress's shape and prevent wrinkles.
Compatibility & Styling Tips
- Footwear: Pairs beautifully with a range of shoes, including flat sandals, espadrilles, wedges, and low heels.
- Accessories: Complement the multicolor leaf print with solid-colored accessories. Delicate necklaces, hoop earrings, and bangles can enhance the look without overpowering the print.
- Outerwear: For cooler weather or a more polished look, layer with a lightweight cardigan, a denim jacket, or a solid-colored blazer.
- Undergarments: The V-neckline typically works well with standard V-neck or plunge bras. Consider a seamless option for a smooth silhouette.
