Roman shoppers have been snapping up its £28 light and breezy midi dress that comes in four colours and is ‘easy to throw on’, making it perfect for holidays and the next heatwave
Weather reports have revealed that the next UK heatwave is on its way, which means we’ve still got plenty more hot and humid days to get through. And nothing will see you through the soaring temperatures quite like a breezy midi dress, which can solve all of your outfit woes whilst keeping you cool and comfortable in the heat.
One dress we’ve spotted that’ll see you through everything from heatwaves to holidays is Roman’s Soft Pique Stretch Midi Dress which you can pick up for just £28. Everything from the fit to the fabric make it a great pick for the summer, and there are countless ways you can style it to maximise its wear.

The dress has a loose, relaxed fit with an A-line shape that flows from shoulder to hem without clinging or gathering, so you don’t need to worry about feeling hot, sweaty and irritated. The V-neckline creates some extra shape so the Soft Pique Stretch Midi Dress doesn’t look too blocky, and it has a split at the front for easy movement.
You can pick up the dress in four different colours, green, blue, grey and orange, and it comes in sizes 10 to 20. The Soft Pique Stretch Midi Dress couldn’t be easier to style, and it’s a great piece for just throwing on and heading out the door when you can’t be bothered to think about it.
You can wear it as it is, with a simple pair of sandals and a shopper bag for running errands or sightseeing on holiday, or pair it with some mesh ballet flats and your go-to work bag if you need to head into the office. You could even make it a little dressier, with a statement belt, some heeled flip flops and a straw tote for dinners out in heat.
These kinds of easy, breezy silhouettes are great in the hot weather, because they create an instant outfit with minimal effort. The high street is also full of other great options, including this cream Linen-Blend Throw-On Dress from H&M which is £37.99 and has a loose, billowy shape that can be dressed up or down.
We also love Nobody’s Child’s Green Linen-Blend Malia Maxi Dress which is now £38 down from £95 and has a column-shape which can be cinched in around the waist with the tie belt. ASOS has also got a great version, with its Ruched Plunge Barrel Midi Dress for £45 which has ruching around the scoop neckline to give it some added volume and movement.
However Roman’s Soft Pique Stretch Midi Dress is proving so popular that it hasn’t racked up any negative reviews so far, on any of the colourways. They all praised its fit and effortlessness, with one saying: “Beautiful well made dress, lovely soft material great value for money, I have all the colours.”
Whilst aanother said: “Lovely dress, true to size and hangs beautifully. Great value for money.”
Others also shared they couldn’t wait to snap up the Soft Pique Stretch Midi Dress in multiple colours, with one saying: “Love this dress for my holidays. I bought all three colours. Its going to be a nice easy throw on dress and it looks good too.”
Someone else wrote: “I absolutely love it, its lovely material and hangs just right, I bought the green one and going to order it in the blue. Will be lovely for summer holidays.”
The closest we could find to a negative review says: “This is a comfortable, everyday, throw – on – and – go sundress in a nice feeling fabric. Sizing is a little on the generous side, tho. Good value for money. It’s nearer ankle length than midi on me, but that’s ok.”
