‘Very comfortable’ £30 Roman dress has ‘flattering fit over my tummy’ and pockets

Roman fans have been loving the discounted Rust Floral Print Pocket Detail Midi Dress for its stretchy fit, flattering silhouette and unique feature

There’s always a hint of excitement at the discovery of pockets on a dress. And Roman fans are praising one particular design for this practical feature that’s not only ‘very comfortable to wear’ but also perfect for spring. What’s more is that it’s currently on sale with 21% off, dropping its price from £38 to £30.

The Rust Floral Print Pocket Detail Midi Dress, which has a high star rating of 4.8, comes in a deep red rust hue that’s decorated in orange and black flowers. It comes with a comfy wide crew neckline and 3/4 sleeves, making it a lovely option for the chillier spring weather.

With a fitted body that shoppers love for being ‘stretchy’, the dress cinches in at the waist and floats into a midi A-line skirt that ensures a flattering silhouette.

Available in sizes 10 to 20, all still in stock, the Rust Floral Print Pocket Detail Midi dress is made from a comfortable stretch jersey fabric and cut to a loose, relaxed fit. Paired with some boots and a leather jacket, it’s perfect for a chilly evening dinner date, or with a denim jacket and sandals when the sun comes out.

For those who find three-quarter sleeves a little too warm, especially in the sunnier seasons, a short-sleeved tea dress may be better, such as this Printed V-Neck Midi Tea Dress from M&S. Costing £30, it comes in two colourways – pink and red – and is decorated in delicate ditsy flowers. With a back waist tie, it can be worn as fitted or loose as desired.

For something with a bolder design, this New Look Black Floral Lace Waist Midi Dress, £35.99, features a black background with pink rose clusters printed.

Although the Roman dress seems to have been a hit with shoppers of all ages, with its 4.8 star rating proving its quality and popularity, with one fashion fan noting: “Beautiful dress which fits to size. Fabric is soft and stretchy and falls nicely. Love the colour, it’s a deep red which I prefer.”

Someone else added: “Lovely dress. True to size. Flattering fit especially over my tummy.”

Another raved: “Love this dress! Easy to wear and comfortable. Suitable for most occasions to dress up or down,” while someone else echoed: “Nice, comfortable, easy to wear dress and I like the fact that it has pockets too. Prefer maxi dresses at my age!”

While most people adored this style, some did prewarn others that it comes a bit longer than anticipated, with one review reading: “I love the fit and it is very comfortable, although it is longer than I expected, so I will be taking it up about 3-4 inches. I’m 5’6. Highly recommend.”

This review was mirrored in another four-star rating, whose comments read: “Lovely but not midi. Floor length and I’m 5ft 6ins. Will have to turn it up.”

That said, for the most part, the Roman dress was praised by shoppers, one of whom shared: “Love the style of these dresses, comfortable & flattering. The fabric is soft and hangs well, very easy to launder.”
