Roman's £45 midi dress perfect for weddings and holidays

Roman has released a midi dress that shoppers say is ideal for weddings and summer holidays. The Pleat Neck Midi Dress is priced at £45 and available in sizes 10-20.

12 colourways to choose from

The dress comes in 12 different variations, including a pink floral frock, a cream floral option, a green one, and a blue-and-pink number. It features a round neckline, short sleeves, a pleated skirt and a tie belt that cinches at the waist.

Roman suggests pairing the frock with a bolero and heels for a stylish outfit. As well as weddings, it would also look lovely on holiday, worn in the evenings for dinners with flat sandals or flip flops.

Shopper reviews praise fit and comfort

The dress has a five-out-of-five rating from buyers, with reviews covering the various prints and colours available. One shopper stated: "This is the second dress I bought in this style and I wore the pink to a wedding. It is easy to wear and to wash, and I am very pleased that it didn't crease very much. Lovely flowing material and very flattering. Received lots of compliments."

Another customer said: "I love this dress, because it is just so elegant and chic. I ordered a size 10 but it was a little tight across the waist. So, I then ordered a size 12 and it fits me perfectly. I can't wait for my river cruise holiday to wear it! Thank you, Roman for making this beautiful dress."

"Very pleased with my purchase. I have bought products from you before. I will be wearing to a wedding, so thought this would be ideal for that occasion," noted a third consumer.

Other summer options from Next and New Look

Next has also been expanding its summer collection, including the Marrakesh Scene Print Maxi Kaftan at £48 in two sizes. New Look offers the Gini London Green Floral Print Maxi Dress, also £48, in sizes 8-16.

Back to the Roman dress, one shopper gave it four stars, explaining: "Nice for summer. I would have preferred a proper belt, but I love the dress." Another wore it to a wedding and "got so many compliments about it." Someone else bought it for a special birthday party, saying: "Delighted with it. Nice, flowing material with a lining and a lovely colour." A final fan remarked: "Gorgeous dress. Love the colours. Just what I was looking for. Well made and comfortable."
