Roman's Floral Wrap Midi Dress, praised by shoppers for covering "mummy tummy" and featuring pockets, is available for £31.50 with a 25% discount code. The dress has earned a 4.9 out of five star-rating from more than 30 reviews.
Discount and availability
The Floral Wrap Midi Dress costs £42, but new Roman shoppers who apply the exclusive discount code 'AFRPLC25Q226' can pick it up with a 25% saving, bringing the price down to £31.50. Existing customers can get 10% off by entering the promotional voucher 'GOLD' at checkout, making the midi number £37.80. Roman is also offering free express delivery on the dress.
The dress comes in sizes ten to 20, most of which are still in stock online. It is also available in black with a red floral print, reduced to £32 instead of £42, although sizes in this option are limited.
Design and features
The dress features a beautiful all-over floral print set against an elegant navy background. It has a mock wrap bodice and a chic fit-and-flare shape. The dress cinches at the waist, disguises mum tums and flows out to a full skirt finished off with handy side pockets to carry small essentials.
The dress falls to a universally flattering midi length, designed to suit women of all heights and body types. Hitting at the slimmest part of the leg, the mid-calf, the piece makes the wearer look taller and slimmer. It can be paired with wedges or high heels, or switched for ballet flats or white trainers for less dressy occasions.
Shopper reviews
One satisfied shopper said: "Lovely dress so comfortable to wear, very pleased with this purchase." A second wrote: "I needed a dress for a wedding, I ordered some from different companies but didn't suit at all. I'd looked at this dress a few times and decided to order it. Omg it's absolutely everything I wanted, very good quality and so comfortable. I love it, I will order any other dresses now with confidence."
"Loved this dress," a third penned. "I needed a nice dress for my daughter's graduation, this worked perfectly not too tight and the length was good too (im 5ft). Covered my mummy tummy perfectly and it has pockets." Another five-star review reads: "Beautiful dress, The neckline wrap doesn't gape, smooths over the tummy area and flares perfectly. And as a bonus it has pockets."
Despite the positive reviews, there are some things to bear in mind before purchasing. The dress only comes in one length, which could prove problematic for those who typically shop for petite or tall cuts. It is also made from polyester, so shoppers who prefer natural fibres like cotton or silk may want to shy away.
Alternatives
Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer's Lyocell Rich Polka Dot Midi Waisted Dress comes in at £48. It has a regular fit, short sleeves and a versatile midi-length hem. A self-tie belt cinches the waist for a defined silhouette, while the all-over polka-dot print ensures an eye-catching look.
Next's Dark Green Twist Front Long Sleeve Satin Maxi Dress is priced at £48. It is cut from a lustrous hammered satin that fluidly drapes, with an artful twist-front detail creating a flattering, sculpted silhouette. Shoppers can also pick up the dress in champagne gold, chocolate brown spot and navy blue.
Back at Roman, one shopper added: "Lovely dress, material hangs beautifully. There's a wedding coming up and I thought I would keep it until then and wear it with a jacket which will finish the outfit off."
