Roman shoppers are raving over a 'classic' dress that bears a striking resemblance to a £945 Chanel piece. The Textured Pocket Stretch Shift Dress normally retails at £42, but is currently reduced to £31.50 with the code AFRPLC25Q226.
The code is only valid on first-time orders, but those who have shopped at Roman before can still get 10% off with the code GLAM, bringing the price down to £37.80.
Design and similar styles
The dress features a round neckline with a collar, giving it a 'classic' and sophisticated look. It has dainty short sleeves, chic pocket detailing (though the pockets are not functional), and an elegant shift shape that falls at knee length. It is made from a woven textured fabric with a jacquard look.
The style is very similar to the Chanel White Black Short Sleeve Tweed Dress, which costs £945 at Sellier Knightsbridge.
For those who prefer a darker colourway, Hobbs has the stunning Bria Sequin Tweed Button Through Dress in midnight navy for £199. The sleeveless dress comes in a deep blue shade with gold hardware and sequins throughout. Nobody's Child also has the Red And Navy Gingham Ellie Mini Dress which features buttons along the centre. The dress was £99 but has dropped to half price, £49.50, in a sale online.
What shoppers are saying

"Gorgeous dress, love the material. Some stretch in the material. True to size." The dress also pairs well with tights and boots, according to one shopper: "Absolutely love this dress. Look lovely with tights and boot, got lovely comments when wearing it."

More rave reviews
"Excellent dress. Looks good, perfect fit and very flattering. I have this colour way and the other available option. Complimented on both." Another shopper said: "Very comfy little dress packs well for holidays does not crease. I love it."
One shopper did suggest sizing up: "Nice dress. Comfortable and easy to wear - providing a casual but smart look - if I were to purchase this dress again I would consider going up a size from my usual 16 as it is a little 'snug'." Overall, it has proven a hit: "Great fit nice material. I also brought the brown dress. Great for work or dress up for a night out. Very happy."
