Roman’s £32 dress that ‘will not crease in suitcase’ has ‘shaping’
Dressing for the summer is all about feeling comfortable and confident, and shoppers have discovered a ‘figure-flattering’ dress from Roman that delivers on both fronts. Available for under £40, the Abstract Panelled Short Dress features a clever construction, utilising panels that guide the eye downwards, gliding over the figure in a universally flattering manner.
Reduced to £31.50 when new customers apply the code AFRPLC25Q226 at checkout, the dress is offered in five prints, available in UK sizes 10 to 20. Existing Roman customers can also save, getting 10% off with the code JUNE.
The fit and flare silhouette flows into an airy skirt, combined with an attractive sweetheart neckline and supportive, wide shoulder straps. The dress has proven such a success with shoppers that many have purchased several.
One person revealed they ‘already have it in two different colours’ and another mentioned they have ‘seven of this style of dress’. Ideal for forthcoming weddings or holidays, the dress ‘hangs beautifully’ and requires ‘no ironing’, meaning customers can ‘just throw it in a suitcase and it comes out perfect at the other end’.
Regarding how the Roman dress makes wearers feel, it’s evident from reviews that customers are delighted. Over 300 people have submitted reviews, and the dress has achieved a near-perfect rating of 4.9 out of five.
Customers are describing it as a ‘wow’ dress’, noting it ‘hugs the body giving wonderful shape’. It has also been commended as the material ‘feels cool in the summer’, allowing it to be worn even during a heatwave.
Bold, vibrant and eye-catching, the Roman dress features a striking floral print that epitomises summer style. Other high street retailers are similarly embracing colour in this season’s fashion ranges, including Boden and Marks and Spencer.
Boden’s Mia V-Neck Jersey Midi Dress (£79) comes in five wonderful colours, from firecracker red to passion flower pink. Shoppers say it is ‘perfect for summer holidays’ as it can be packed with ‘minimal creasing’ and it’s ‘cool to wear’.
This lime green dress from Marks and Spencer is new to the website, stocked in sizes 6 to 18. We’re predicting it to be a popular pick this season, crafted from a gorgeous satin material. It retails for £55.
Additional reviews for the Roman Abstract Panelled Short Dress demonstrate just how popular it has become. One customer said: “Love this dress! Fits perfectly, looks amazing. Such a flattering style. Will not crease in my suitcase.”
And a second wrote: “Lovely dress. Perfect for a holiday or home. Would definitely recommend.” The garment features ‘no zip’, which could prove problematic for certain customers as it demands a precise size match for optimal fit.
Nevertheless, this design choice does provide additional room, a characteristic that earned praise from this shopper who said: “Love this dress, fits great and good material panels give it a sense of thicker material which covers all my bumps.”
One customer also mentioned that while they appreciate the dress design, they were ‘not so enamoured by the material’. The dress comprises a 93% Polyester, 7% Elastane composition.
A further customer awarded a five-star rating, writing: “Fabulous on. Have had the one in blue for years. The fit is perfect. I ordered a size 12, and it is perfect. I feel good and confident when I go out.”
