Shoppers can now copy Kate Middleton's iconic polka dot dress from the 2022 Wimbledon championships for a fraction of the cost. The Princess of Wales turned heads in a £1,335 Alessandra Rich design, but a similar style from Roman is available for just £33.75 with an exclusive discount code.
The Dress Dupe
The Navy Polka Dot Fit and Flare Dress from Roman is priced at £38. However, new customers can use the code 'AFRPLC25Q226' at checkout to receive 25% off, bringing the price down to £33.75. Existing customers can enjoy 10% off with the code 'AURA', reducing the price to £40.50. Roman is also offering free express delivery on this item.
The dress is available in sizes 10 to 20, all currently in stock. It comes in 11 designs, including Blue Floral, Brown Polka Dot, and Blue Mini Floral.
Design and Features
The chic navy and white dress features an eye-catching polka dot pattern, a figure-flattering tie belt at the waist, and a fit-and-flare cut that skims problem areas. The midi length finishes at the mid-calf, the most slender part of the leg, for a streamlining effect.
Customer Reviews
The dress has received rave reviews. One shopper said: "Going to a wedding so ideal for my purpose and apart from the fact I love anything with polka dots. I love my dress fits so well makes me feel special." Another wrote: "Lovely dress. Nice material, flattering style and good fit. Suitable for any occasion." A third added: "This dress is beautiful. Very easy to wear for any occasion."
Alternative Options
For those seeking other affordable alternatives, Marks and Spencer offers a V-Neck Frill Sleeve Midi Tea Dress for £30, while Next's Ecru/Black Polka Dot Puff Sleeve Midi Dress retails for £39.
Considerations
The Roman dress is only available in one length, which may not suit those who prefer petite or tall sizes. It is made from polyester, so fans of natural fabrics like cotton or silk might want to look elsewhere. Despite this, the dress has garnered five-star reviews for its beauty and summery feel.
