Roman's floral maxi dress makes shoppers 'look like they've lost weight'
Roman Originals is selling a floral maxi dress that's perfect for summer - and customers are praising it for giving them a 'nicer shape' As the mercury rises, style fans are on the hunt for the perfect summer dress. Several high-street favourites have unveiled their relaxed styles, but a piece from Roman Originals has truly grabbed our attention. This particular floral maxi dress hits the right note for park picnics or seaside trips – it's even suitable as wedding guest attire for any upcoming nuptials. Plus, it's currently more pocket-friendly, priced at £38, down from its original price of £48, with the discount already applied online. The outfit features short sleeves, offering some coverage, an eye-catching shirred waist, and a tassel tie detail. There's even a modest slit in the skirt for that extra bit of breeziness. When it comes to dressing it up, the options are endless. However, it's flying off the shelves, with a few sizes already sold out. Enhance the look with sparkling heels and gold accessories for formal occasions, or opt for ballet pumps and statement shades for laid-back garden get-togethers. If your size isn't available, Phase Eight also offers a fantastic range, including this floral maxi dress (£109, originally £189) with long sleeves for a similar feel to the Roman ensemble, reports Nottinghamshire Live. For something different yet equally enchanting, Joe Browns showcases a stunning floral knee-length number at £48, available in both petite and regular fits. It's designed to highlight the waist and features a delightful V-neckline. Praise for the light blue version of Roman's maxi dress has flooded in from customers. One delighted shopper commented: "It's a lovely colour, and the material keeps you cool in this hot weather." Another thrilled buyer shared their glowing review, stating: "I love this dress. It fits my size 16, hangs nicely, and looks good with my trainers." Another satisfied customer expressed their delight: "I just love this dress - I feel amazing in it. When you are a larger person, as I am, it isn't easy to find something you like. "The dress flows and gives me a nicer shape. Everyone thought I looked amazing and that I had lost some weight." However, not all reviews were positive. One purchaser described their disappointment: "I loved this dress but was very disappointed with the length. It was far too long." In complete contrast, an ecstatic Roman shopper gushed about their buy: "(The dress is) beautiful, a wonderful fit, and a perfect length. I'm 5ft 7ins. When you put on the dress, you feel amazing. It's a dress that can be worn for any occasion."

Roman shoppers bag 'comfy' and 'versatile dress for summer
With a flattering shirred waist and frill neckline, it's no wonder that fashion fans love it Summer wardrobes are officially in full swing - but as some people are still eyeing up a few new additions, we've spotted a stylish gem that deserves a spot in any lineup. This shirred dress from Roman Originals is a breezy, flattering number that shoppers are loving - and it's currently on offer with a limited-time discount code. Usually £38, the dress is now £34.20 with the code JUNE. That's a solid price for a piece that'll take shoppers from garden parties to bottomless brunches with zero effort. With a shirred stretch waist that cinches comfortably and shows off the waist, plus frill neckline detailing, it strikes the perfect balance between chic and easy-going. It's made from a lightweight viscose blend that feels soft and breathable, ideal for warm days, and the short sleeves keep things airy. This is the kind of dress that works just as well with sandals and a straw bag as it will with trainers and a denim jacket. However, it's worth noting that viscose is prone to shrinking, so take care to read the washing instructions thoroughly. Get the look Product Description For those who'd rather shop around, Next has some flattering and floaty alternatives. This zig-zag shift dress (£32) has a similar vibe to Roman but is sleeveless and more retro-inspired. One happy fan said: "Beautiful. Fits lovely. True to size. Feels of good quality. Perfect." Otherwise, New Look's crochet zig-zag maxi dress is a great holiday pick, with long flared sleeves and a striking blue and navy pattern. It's currently reduced to £30 from £50, and the brand offers a range of petite and curve options as well. However, if shoppers are eager to get Roman's offering, the shirred dress currently boasts a solid five-star rating from satisfied shoppers. One person said: "I love this dress. It's so comfy and versatile; it will be my go-to dress. I just wish it had pockets. Fits true to size." Meanwhile, a second added: "Looks good on. True to size. Purchased for late September Greek holiday. It arrived quickly." A third said: "Lovely dress, great length. I'm 5ft 10in and Sat just above the knee." A fourth person chimed in: "I love this dress; it fits lovely, comes down to just above my knees, and it's comfortable." And this happy reviewer said: "Lovely summer dress. Lightweight. Easy to wash. True to size. Would recommend."

Shoppers in love with 'slimming' Roman dress that's perfect for special occasions
The stunning dress features a waist cinching detail, short sleeves and a floor-sweeping skirt, available in nine prints Shoppers are singing the praises of a stylish maxi dress from Roman for its complementary shape and comfortable fit. The garment boasts short sleeves, an accentuating waist feature, and a floor-sweeping skirt. Priced at £48, this eye-catching item is available in an array of colours and patterns, ranging from green polka dots to blue paisley prints, with additional options in purple, blue, teal, and pink floral. Stocks are plentiful, ensuring sizes 10-20 are on hand for most designs, save for the pink ditsy floral version, which is unavailable in sizes 12-14, and the polka dot green not offered in size 20. This dress's adaptability shines through as it pairs seamlessly with heels and a fascinator for a wedding, or can be dressed down with flats for more casual occasions like vacations walks or family gatherings. Fashion aficionados are spoilt for choice with a multitude of print and colour opportunities. If you you want to look around before committing, New Look has lifted the curtain on its much-anticipated summer dress collection, showcasing a gorgeous strappy maxi frock featuring an evergreen black and white gingham motif. Priced at reasonable £34.99, this number is available in a comprehensive range of sizes from 6 to 22. In the realm of wedding attire, White Stuff has presented a sophisticated linen maxi dress drenched in a deep red, peppered with pink swirls. Initially marked at £90, it is now up for grabs at the discounted price of £79.20, ensuring inclusivity with sizes spanning from 6 to 24 and both regular and petite lengths (petite ranging between 6-18). This captivating design boasts quaint frilly short sleeves and a fetching V-neckline. One satisfied customer lauded their green purchase from Roman, writing: " I love my new dress. It's very comfortable and fits perfectly. I love the pockets and the feel of the material. "It hugs my new figure perfectly and makes me feel like summer has finally arrived". Another shopper expressed delight, gushing: "This dress surprised me. The fit is perfect, the length is great, and I'm tall. It's a very slimming design and my favourite colour," as reported by the Liverpool Echo. On the other hand, a shopper spoke of her frustration with an unspecified problem with the Roman Originals garment, complaining: "Because it was a full skirt, I hadn't noticed it when I tried it on. It took me a while to sort it out, very frustrating. "Had I noticed it at the onset, I would have returned it as faulty. "So, ladies, check your hem. Never been disappointed with Roman before." Another shared their gripe: "I loved this dress but was very disappointed with the length. It was far too long. Possibly offer a petite range for us shorter folk." But one chuffed buyer who opted for the navy version revealed: "I fell in love with this dress. It's beautiful and very flattering. I purchased the 16 and found it true to size. "I had 2 1/2 inches taken off the bottom because it was dragging on the floor (I'm 5 foot 6), but there was no way I was sending it back, so it was worth it."
