Roman shoppers are raving over a 'gorgeous' cover-up that's perfect for weddings and summer parties. The Textured Pointelle Detail Shrug would usually cost £20, but drops down to £15 with the code AFRPLC25Q226. This code is only applicable on first time orders, but those who have shopped at Roman before can get 10% off with the code WAVE, bringing the shrug down to £18.
Design and fabric
The shrug comes in a pretty fuchsia shade with full length sleeves that offer modesty without being too thick. It has a waterfall style that shoppers appear to be fond of and an edge to edge open front that allows the wearer to showcase outfits underneath. The soft feel pointelle material and scalloped edges make it feel elegant, and it's described as a versatile addition to any summer wardrobe.
Shopper reviews
One shopper said: "Absolutely love the look and colour of this shrug. Adds a bright note to any outfit." Another wrote: "I bought the shrug to go with the dress I bought for a wedding in Italy. Important your arms are covered in church. It will be very hot so didn't want a lined jacket. Goes perfect with my dress and others I have at home."
It was called 'ideal' for summer use: "This is ideal for wearing over a summer dress on an evening. Smart but still casual. Not washed it yet but I think I will hand wash it to be on safe side as it's so lovely and delicate."
Positive feedback
One woman bought it for a hot August wedding and said: "I got the dress & the matching shrug in the pic. They look lovely & are perfect for the August wedding I bought them to wear to." Another shopper said: "Fabulous pop on over my dress, made the outfit complete." The colour has been a hit too: "I am so pleased with this shrug, it has delicate shaping to the knitted design and falls beautifully. The colour is a gorgeous spring pink and goes great with a dress I already have for a special garden party. Would definitely recommend."
Versatility and value
"Absolutely ideal to slip over many of the dresses I have when it's chilly in the evenings," added another shopper. It's been called great value and versatile: "Great value for money, versatile because it goes with so many clothes: dresses, jeans, summer trousers." One woman needed a layer for a wedding and called this 'ideal': "Needed cardigan or shrug to go over dress for wedding l was attending. This was ideal, light and colour matched my dress."
Alternatives
For those on a budget, Amazon has Love My Fashions® Women’s Fish Net Knitted Tie Up Bolero Shrug for £10.98, available in multiple colours with a one size fits all design. At White Stuff, the Nova Cardigan is down to £39.20 from £49, thicker than Roman's shrug but available in four colourways.
There aren't any criticisms for the shrug online, but at present it is only available in one colour, which could prove difficult for some shoppers.
