Fashion-conscious shoppers are rushing to snap up a 'classy' party dress from Roman that reviewers say is perfect for New Year's Eve and helps to disguise the tummy. The Green Metallic Lace Sequin Midi Dress has been reduced to £50, down from £60, and has already seen size 10 sell out due to high demand.
A Flattering Festive Find
The dress, which features a delicate lace overlay with subtle shimmer and sequins, is being hailed as an ideal winter occasion piece. It is designed for events like winter weddings, festive parties, or any gathering that requires a smart look. Available in sizes eight to 20, the dress boasts a midi length of approximately 120cm and a tailored waist, which wearers report is both flattering and comfortable for dinners, dances, or a night out.
Roman advises that the garment should be hand washed only. Its short sleeves make it easy to layer under a shawl for extra warmth. The design is finished with a flared hem and godet panelling to add movement when worn.
Shopper Reviews and Styling Tips
The dress has garnered enthusiastic feedback from customers. One reviewer stated, "I had so many compliments, it fits really well and makes me feel good." Another praised its elegant appearance, saying, "I love this colour and the dress looks classy." The dress's ability to flatter the figure was a common theme, with a four-star review noting, "Looks pretty good on, even helps disguise my tummy."
For styling, Roman suggests letting the dress stand out by pairing it with simple black heels and minimal jewellery for evening wear. For daytime events, a long charcoal wool coat and an updo hairstyle can create an elegant silhouette. The retailer also offers a similar leaf lace dress in other colours like red and burgundy.
Alternative Statement Dresses
Shoppers looking for different styles have other high-street options. Next sells the Lipsy Black High Neck Lace Flare Sleeve Midi Dress for £68, available in sizes six to 18. Meanwhile, M&S offers the Sosandar Lace Bardot Midi Column Dress in red for £95, an online-exclusive piece made from guipure lace with an off-the-shoulder neckline.
Despite these alternatives, the Roman green dress continues to attract attention for its combination of glamour, fit, and value, making it a standout choice for the party season.
