A maxi dress from Roman is receiving widespread praise from shoppers for its flattering design and comfortable fit. The dress, priced at £48, features short sleeves, a cinched waist, and a floor-length skirt, available in a variety of colours and patterns including green polka dots, blue paisley, purple florals, blue florals, teal florals, and a pink ditsy floral option.
Sizes 10-20 are available in most designs, though the pink ditsy floral dress is sold out in sizes 12-14, and the green polka dot version is not available in size 20. According to Roman, the dress draws inspiration from the boho-chic trend and can be styled with heels and a fascinator for weddings or with flats for holidays and family outings.
One satisfied customer who purchased the dress in green described it as figure-flattering, stating: 'I love my new dress. It's very comfortable and fits perfectly. I love the pockets and the feel of the material. It hugs my new figure perfectly and makes me feel like summer has finally arrived.' Another shopper echoed these sentiments, saying: 'This dress surprised me. The fit is perfect, the length is great, and I'm tall. It's a very slimming design and my favourite colour.'
However, one customer noted a flaw in their purchase. The buyer, who chose the purple floral print, discovered an unhemmed 'bunch of material' gathered within the skirt. They detailed: 'Because it was a full skirt, I hadn't noticed it when I tried it on. It took me a while to sort it out, very frustrating. Had I noticed it at the onset, I would have returned it as faulty. So, ladies, check your hem. Never been disappointed with Roman before.'
Despite this, many shoppers remain enthusiastic. One customer shared: 'I fell in love with this dress. It's beautiful and very flattering. I purchased the 16 and found it true to size. I had 2 1/2 inches taken off the bottom because it was dragging on the floor (I'm 5 foot 6), but there was no way I was sending it back, so it was worth it.' Another praised the pink ditsy floral print: 'Absolutely gorgeous dress. Lots of swirly material, pretty print, very flattering. Love it!'
