Roman shopper says £48 dress makes them look like they have 'lost some weight'

Summer fashion is on the menu, and while high-street favourites such as New Look and H&M have some great options available right now, one dress from Roman has caught our attention.

The floral maxi dress, which is just £48, is part of Roman's summer collection and would be perfect for park picnics or days out at the beach. And, right now, shoppers can save an extra 10% using the code HAPPY. The dress boasts short sleeves, offering some coverage, an attention-grabbing shirred waist, and a tassel tie detail. There's even a modest slit in the skirt for that extra bit of breeziness, reports Nottingham Post.

When it comes to accessorising, the options are endless. Dress it up with sparkling heels and gold trinkets for formal occasions, or pair it with ballet flats and standout sunglasses for casual garden get-togethers. The dress comes in a selection of different patterns, too, including various floral prints and an on-trend polka dot print.

The dress comes in sizes 10 to 20. However, several sizes are already sold out in some of the patterns. 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 dress.

For something different yet equally enchanting, Joe Browns showcases a stunning floral knee-length number (£48), available in both petite and regular sizes. It's designed to highlight the waist and features a delightful V-neckline.

Customers have been heaping praise on the Roman Originals light blue dress, with one satisfied buyer exclaiming: "It's a lovely colour, and the material keeps you cool in this hot weather."

Another happy shopper shared their enthusiasm: "I love this dress. It fits my size 16, hangs nicely, and looks good with my trainers."

One more pleased customer couldn't hide 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."

Yet, not all reviews were positive, with a dissatisfied customer stating: "I loved this dress but was very disappointed with the length. It was far too long."

On the other hand, another contented patron praised their find: "(The dress is) beautiful, a wonderful fit, and a perfect length. I'm 5'7". When you put on the dress, you feel amazing. It's a dress that can be worn for any occasion. ".
