Roman summer dress 'so comfortable' shoppers 'can't resist' buying all colours
Roman shoppers are going wild for a dress that's not only enhancing their comfort and confidence but also nailing this season's broderie trend. The retailer's Cotton Broderie Tiered Smock Dress is priced at £40, but with the current discount already applied, fashion fans can snag it for just £30, saving them 25%.
Customers have a choice of four stylish colours - classic black and khaki, as well as eye-catching turquoise and pink for those looking to add a splash of colour to their wardrobe. Available in sizes 10 to 20, this adaptable frock is ideal for teaming up with sandals during the heatwave.
Made from 100 per cent breathable cotton, the dress is crafted to keep the wearer cool. It boasts three quarter length sleeves and a comfy smock style, reports the Manchester Evening News.
And customers needn't worry about the smock shape being unflattering, as reviews confirm it has a 'lovely shape' and is 'very flattering'. It's even been hailed as a 'fabulous dress for holidays', with additional compliments for being 'lined'.
A glowing five-star review states: "Such a pretty feminine little dress: perfect for hiding lumps and bumps." Another happy customer raved about the pink version, declaring: "Fabulous colour and hides all your bumps."

Product Description
Some customers have said they have bought several colours to round out their collection. One delighted shopper said: "Love love love these dresses, so pretty and comfortable to wear, true to size, I now own five of these in different, colours can't resist them."
A newcomer to Roman was so thrilled with their buy that they headed straight back to the site for additional purchases. They said: "Really lovely dress, bought as a last minute extra dress for long trip and wore it over and over again, never bought from Roman before but just ordered another couple of dresses on the strength of this purchase."
But one buyer knocked off a star from their rating as they felt the frock was too short. They wrote: "Nice style dress, looks nice with the ties left loose, however doesn't sit right on the neck if tied. Nice shade of Khaki. I would prefer a few inches longer though at 5ft 1ins it sits on my knees."
For shoppers hunting for a lengthier smock frock with comparable styling, Nobody's Child stocks the Green Broderie Anglaise Tiered Lee Midi Dress, presently slashed by 50% to £48 from £95. Another alternative can be found at Debenhams - the Warehouse Broderie Drawstring Waist Midi Dress, coming in at £65.
Buyers have voiced their adoration for the garment, revealing they 'got so many compliments' and dubbing it the 'best summer dress out there'. Yet it's been recommended that prospective purchasers 'should go down a size'.
One critic praised the Roman frock 's adaptability, emphasising its year-round wearability. The review gushes: "Fab dress, true to size. I love it as it doesn't cling and its a good length. It's lined too so will go through the seasons with sandals then leggings and boots."
This makes the bargain price of £30 even more tempting, given the array of occasions you can don this number. If you're prioritising summer style, this could well be the most adaptable addition to your wardrobe this season.
Another thrilled shopper shared: "Love it put away for my holidays it's nice and cool really nice length looks great with my wedge sandals can't wait to wear it." Meanwhile, another customer enthused: "I have already bought this dress in black and loved it so much I wanted it in an another colourway."

Destination X viewers left distracted by 'naked people' as new clue exposed
BBC viewers were left distracted by a group of totally nude people during Wednesday night's instalment of new reality show Destination X Destination X returned to BBC One on Wednesday evening (August 6) with yet another gripping episode, though viewers were utterly perplexed by one particular moment. Host Rob Brydon is currently guiding a team of participants across various European destinations with a single mission - to work out their location using solely the hints collected from tasks in each programme. Throughout the reality series so far, contestants have already explored Paris in France, and Switzerland's iconic Matterhorn whilst travelling aboard the mysterious blacked-out coach. However, in the coming episodes, additional players face elimination from the journey if their guesses prove too inaccurate when pinpointing their position on the map. The final remaining contestant will claim an incredible £100,000 jackpot. In Wednesday's episode, participants journeyed by rail through stunning rural landscapes in an undisclosed nation, reports the Manchester Evening News. Their challenge involved sampling local cuisine and deciphering transport tickets written in foreign languages to unlock clues about their next stop. Yet as their train crossed a bridge, a small gathering of individuals could be spotted beside a camping structure, apparently without any clothing whatsoever. The group appeared to be observing the passing locomotive and gesturing enthusiastically as it sped by, leaving players amused. Destination X audiences were completely mystified by this bizarre sequence, with one viewer posting on X: "Dying at the naked people just casually waving #DestinationX." One fan couldn't contain their excitement, exclaiming: "Nude! #DestinationX", while another quipped about the contestants' reaction: "It was at this point that the contestants asked for the windows to be frosted over again.." Speculation ran rampant as one viewer pondered: "Could this weeks Destination X be Copenhagen? Red Shoes on the football magazine could refer to The Red Shoes by Hans Christian Anderson, and naked people Emperors New Clothes? #DestinationX". Meanwhile, another fan found humour in the unexpected, joking: "#DestinationX didn't expect to see a man waving his sausage". The third destination of the show was later revealed as Munich in Germany. Destination X currently airs every Wednesday on BBC One and is available to catch-up on iPlayer

New Look's Ganni-inspired tie-front blouse is currently 25% off in summer sale
If you're looking for a summer blouse to add to your wardrobe, New Look's Ganni-inspired denim top has been reduced by 25% in a limited time offer Made popular by cool-girl Scandi brand Ganni and loved by celebs such as Daisy Edgar-Jones and Dakota Johnson, tie-front poplin blouses blew up over the past year and became the item to get your hands on. However, the original white tie blouse will set you back £165 and £185 for the leopard version. Luckily for us, New Look's Blue Short Sleeve Tie Front Denim Top is a fraction of the price in the brand's summer sale and looks just as chic. Normally priced at an already affordable £29.99, it's now 25% off, bringing the price down to £22.49. This denim blouse is a great way to add a little fun and style to your everyday looks. The bow tie-front gives it that girly, playful feel, while the relaxed fit of the blouse keeps things comfy. The peplum hem adds a flattering design feature that is ideal for pairing with high waist items like midi skirts or jeans. Made from a soft blue denim, this is perfect for warm weather dressing and sunny days. The puff sleeves also add a touch of glam to the look that smartens up the denim. Not to mention that puff sleeves are one of the biggest trends of the past couple of years. Whether you're keeping things casual at the office, heading out for dinner with girls or have a low-key summer weekend, this is the kind of blouse you'll be reaching for again, and again. To style it, we suggest going for a double denim look and teaming it with a pair of similar wash straight leg jeans and studded ballet pumps. Equally, you can team this blouse with a pair of tailored trousers for an office look, or with a gingham mini skirt for a summery picnic-print fit. If you're looking for similar style tie-blouses, Nobody's Child has reduced its White Tie Front Blouse down from £59 to £36. While H&M has a more boho chic offering with its affordable Flounce Blouse, priced at £14.99.
