FAQs
Is the dress true to size?
The dress follows standard UK petite sizing. It is cut in a 'regular' fit, so if you are between sizes or prefer a tighter look, you may want to consider your standard size.
Can I wear this in the summer?
Yes, the short sleeves and knee-length cut make it appropriate for warmer weather, though polyester is not as moisture-wicking as natural fibers.
How do I determine if I need a petite size?
Petite sizing is generally designed for women 5'3" and under, featuring adjusted sleeve lengths and overall garment proportions.
Does the keyhole detail require a specific bra?
The keyhole is positioned at the upper chest; a standard bra typically remains concealed, but it is best to check in a mirror before wear.
What is the exact length of the dress?
The dress has an approximate length of 112cm, which typically hits around the knee for petite heights.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has minor wrinkles after washing
Lightly steam the garment or use a cool iron; the polyester blend responds well to gentle heat.
The fit feels slightly too boxy
Use a slim belt at the waist to cinch the silhouette and create a more defined shape.
Static buildup on the fabric
Lightly mist the inside of the dress with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Roman Petite Keyhole Dress retains its quality, follow these care guidelines:
