Roman's 100% cotton Belted Shirt Dress, priced at £28.50 for new customers using code AFRPLC25Q226, has been hailed as a 'godsend for hot days' by shoppers seeking a cool yet professional work outfit. The dress, available in lime green and blue, retails at £38 but new customers can save £9.50, while existing customers get 10% off with code VIBE.
Design and Fit
The dress features a round collared neckline, button-through front, short sleeves, and a belted waist that creates a flattering fit-and-flare silhouette. Sizes range from 10 to 20. One shopper commented: 'I am so pleased with this dress. Usually I have to shorten them. This one is a perfect length and fit and the material is lovely and soft.'
Customer Feedback
Reviewers praise the breathable cotton fabric, ideal for warm weather. A five-star reviewer noted: 'Great colour and style and being a woman of a certain age I appreciate the sleeve covering on the upper arm. More of these please.' Another added: 'Love this bright fresh linen cool and comfy dress, which has been washed and worn over and over again. Very pretty for my summer look, and a godsend for those hottest days!'
Practicality and Versatility
The dress resists creasing and washes well, making it travel-friendly. One shopper highlighted: 'I thought it would crease but it didn't and it has washed well.' For air-conditioned offices, it pairs with a cardigan or cropped blazer. Some feedback noted 'too much material in the skirt,' but overall ratings are positive.
