Design details and sizing
The dress is available in sizes ten to 20, all of which are still in stock online. It features a classic round neckline with pleats and 3/4 puff sleeves, adding dramatic flair to the otherwise understated ensemble.
The fit-and-flare shape cinches at the waist before flowing out to a full skirt, falling to a mid length that hits at the mid-calf. The tie belt helps disguise tummies, which is particularly ideal for women with mum tums.
Styling and alternatives
Thanks to its versatile design, the Shimmer Pleat Neck Dress can be accessorised in a number of ways. Pair it with black heels for a classic ensemble, or style it with gold, pink or green shoes for a pop of colour.
Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer's Mesh Slash Neck Draped Midi Waisted Dress is priced at £45. It features gentle draped mesh fabric, a chic slash neckline and a flattering waisted silhouette. Alternatively, Next's Navy Blue Floral Pleated Mesh V-Neck Occasion Maxi Dress is priced at £69, cut to a mid length with a V-neckline, short ruffle sleeves, mesh fabric and a gathered waist with pleated detailing.
Practical considerations
Existing shoppers can enter the promotional voucher 'NEW' to get a 10% saving, bringing the dress to £43.20. Roman is also offering free express delivery on the Shimmer Pleat Neck Dress.
The dress only comes in one length, which could prove to be an issue for those who typically shop in the petite or tall sections. It is crafted from polyester with metallised fibres, making it soft against skin and easy to wash. However, those who prefer natural materials like cotton, silk or wool may want to avoid this piece.
