Finding a dress that seamlessly transitions from the office to a beachside holiday is a wardrobe triumph, and shoppers are convinced they have discovered just that at Roman. The shirred midi dress, available in four striking prints including leopard and monochrome, has become such a hit that customers are returning to purchase multiple variations.
Design and Fit
Stocked in sizes 10 to 20, this eye-catching dress features short sleeves that cut off at a universally flattering length, offering coverage while keeping the wearer cool. A ruched waist cinches the silhouette, and the fit-and-flare skirt falls elegantly. Customers praise the sizing as 'spot on' and note there is 'nothing to dislike' about the garment. The non-iron fabric makes it ideal for packing, as it does not crease and folds compactly for travel.
Versatility Praised by Customers
The dress is being hailed as a versatile piece suitable for various occasions. One customer wrote: 'Colours perfect for work along with style for summer, but could also use for holiday.' Another shared: 'This can be dressed up or dressed down. I wore it on a cruise and it was just right.' Such feedback highlights the dress's value as an investment piece.
Normally priced at £52, new Roman customers can use the exclusive code AFRPLC25Q226 to get 25% off, bringing the price down to £39. The code is valid until the end of June. Existing customers can use the code MAY to purchase the dress for £46.80.
Customer Feedback and Alternatives
While the majority of reviews are positive, one customer noted that 'it would be better with pockets.' For those who prioritise pockets, alternatives include Boden's Smocked Jersey Midi Dress (£99), which also comes in petite, regular, and long lengths. At Nobody's Child, the Floral Starlight Midi Dress is on sale for £68 (down from £85) and also features pockets, with one reviewer saying it 'skims all the right places' with 'fresh and perfect for summer' colours.
Roman customers are largely satisfied with the sizing. One shopper stated: 'I ordered the animal print one first, the fit was lovely and felt lovely, very comfortable and stylish, I then ordered 2 more in a different print.' A loyal Roman customer added: 'Have used Roman for several years. Always good fit, good quality. Never been disappointed.'
