A stretchy, ruched design that 'hides a multitude of sins'

Shoppers give it a 4.9-star rating

The jumpsuit has received hundreds of reviews on the Roman website, earning an almost perfect 4.9 out of five star rating. Many shoppers have commented on its comfort and slimming effect.

One five-star reviewer wrote: "This is such a lovely flattering jumpsuit. The material feels very good quality and it looks lovely on! It's easy to take down (if you need the loo!)." Another said: "Lovely jumpsuit, is a very slimming style. Definitely worth the purchase."

A third added: "Lovely play suit and very slimming, also doesn't crease so great for holidays." A fourth wrote: "Lovely jumpsuit. Very slimming and the cowl neck is so classy and a bit different. I feel great in it."

Some find the length too long

Not all reviews were glowing, with some shoppers deducting a star because of the length. One four-star reviewer wrote: "Slightly long but love it. Hides a multitude of sins!!" Another noted: "Very comfortable but also elegant. Perfect with a red velvet jacket for a grand afternoon tea. BUT a word of warning! I only had to take it up five inches for it to be a perfect fit for me, with flat boots, and it isn't too long in the body. As I'm only five foot tall it may not be long enough if you're on the taller side."

One shopper who wore platform shoes said the length was "just right," while another praised the material as "good quality and very stretchy so easy to put on and take off."
