FAQs

How should I wash this sequin embellished dress?

This dress requires Hand Wash Only. Use cold water with a mild detergent. Gently agitate the water, do not wring or twist the fabric, and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight to protect the sequins and chiffon.

Is this dress true to its advertised size?

Yes, according to the product information, this dress is True to size. For the best fit, we recommend consulting the specific size chart provided by Roman.

What material is the dress made from?

Both the main fabric and the lining of this dress are made from 100% Polyester, offering a smooth and flowing feel.

Can I wear this dress for less formal occasions?

This dress is designed as a 'statement style' piece, ideal for special occasions like formal dinners, galas, and festive celebrations. While you can wear it as you wish, its elaborate design makes it less suitable for casual or semi-formal events.

How should I store the dress to protect the sequins?

To protect the delicate sequins and chiffon, it's best to store the dress on a padded hanger within a breathable garment bag. This prevents snags, dust, and pressure on the embellishments. Avoid folding for extended periods.

What type of shoes are recommended with this maxi dress?

To complement the elegant maxi length and formal style, heels are highly recommended. This will enhance the dress's sophisticated drape and overall silhouette.

Are there other sizes available in this style?

Yes, this Sequin Embellished Chiffon Wrap Maxi Dress is available in a range of UK women's dress sizes, including 10, 12, 16, 18, and 20, all in the same classic black colour.

Troubleshooting

Sequins or beads are falling off the dress.

This can occur with delicate embellishments. Handle the dress with extreme care, especially during washing and wear. Avoid friction against rough surfaces. For minor detachments, if skilled, carefully re-attach with clear thread, or consult a professional tailor for repair.

The dress appears wrinkled after storage or travel.

Hang the dress in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes; the steam can help release wrinkles naturally. Alternatively, use a garment steamer on a low setting, keeping the nozzle a few inches away from the fabric, and especially away from embellished areas. If using an iron, turn the dress inside out and use a cool setting with a pressing cloth on non-sequined areas only.

The dress doesn't fit as expected despite ordering my usual size.

While indicated as 'true to size', fit can vary. Double-check your current body measurements against Roman's size chart. For minor adjustments, such as hem length or waist cinching, a professional tailor can often help, being mindful of the delicate fabric and embellishments.

The chiffon fabric seems to snag easily.

Chiffon is a delicate material. Be cautious around sharp objects, rough surfaces, and certain types of jewelry that might catch on the fabric. Store the dress in a garment bag to protect it from potential snags during storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant & Dazzling Design: The sequin and bead detailing creates a truly special and statement-making look.
  • Flattering Silhouette: The wrap style with a tie waist is designed to enhance various body types.
  • Versatile for Special Occasions: Perfectly suited for formal events such as cruise dinners, holiday parties, and galas.
  • Comfortable Movement: The floaty chiffon skirt and cape sleeves allow for graceful and unrestricted motion.

Cons

  • Hand Wash Only: Requires delicate care, which can be more time-consuming than machine washing.
  • Delicate Embellishments: Sequins and beads may require gentle handling to prevent damage or loss.
  • Event-Specific Wear: Primarily designed for formal evening events, limiting its versatility for casual or daytime use.
  • Polyester Material: While durable, 100% polyester may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers in very warm environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Wear

Upon receiving your dress, gently remove it from its packaging. As it's a delicate item with sequins, handle with care. You may wish to hang it immediately to allow any minor creases from packaging to naturally fall out. A quick, low-steam pass with a garment steamer (keeping distance from sequins) can also help, but avoid direct heat or pressing on embellished areas.

Sizing & Fit

This dress is designed for a Womens Regular fit and is indicated as True to size. We recommend referring to Roman's specific size guide if you are unsure, and measure yourself accurately to ensure the best fit.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the beauty and longevity of your Sequin Embellished Chiffon Wrap Maxi Dress.

  • Washing: This garment is Hand Wash Only. Use cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Gently swirl the dress in the water, focusing on areas that need cleaning, but avoid harsh scrubbing or wringing, which can damage the sequins and fabric.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. After gently squeezing out excess water (do not twist or wring), lay the dress flat on a clean towel or hang it on a padded hanger to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Material: The main fabric and lining are both 100% Polyester, known for its durability, but the embellishments require gentle handling.
  • Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on embellished areas. If necessary, iron on a very low, cool setting on the reverse side of the plain fabric sections, using a pressing cloth.
  • Storage: Store the dress on a padded hanger in a breathable garment bag. This protects the delicate sequins and chiffon from snags, dust, and pressure that could distort the fabric or dislodge embellishments. Avoid folding the dress for long periods.

Compatibility & Styling Tips

  • Footwear: Elevate your look with heels – stilettos, block heels, or elegant sandals.
  • Accessories: Let the dress be the star. Opt for minimal, delicate jewelry like stud earrings or a simple bracelet. A sophisticated clutch bag in a complementary or contrasting colour will complete the outfit.
  • Outerwear: If an extra layer is needed, choose a short, tailored blazer or an elegant wrap that won't detract from the dress's details.
