‘Absolutely love this dress. So much so it’s the second one I’ve bought. Very flattering, lovely and drapes well. Had so many compliments when wearing it’
Dressing during the warmer months often calls for easy-to-wear options that can simply be thrown on, effortlessly making the wearer look and feel amazing. A smock style dress that does all the hard work is available at Roman – and it’s so popular it has received almost five-star reviews across the board.
The Border Print Smock Maxi Dress (£43.20 with code BREAK), has been praised for its ‘very flattering’ shape that ‘hides a multitude of lumps and bumps’. This style of dress comes in three prints and shoppers are so enamoured with the look, some are picking them all up.
Boasting a relaxed silhouette, it falls to a tiered maxi skirt. Customers state that ‘no ironing is needed as the weight of the quality fabric drops out all the creases’, so it’s an ideal outfit to pack and take away on holiday.
The print on all three dresses is so ‘vibrant’ that it doesn’t need to be accessories, however, someone pointed out it would ‘look lovely with a summer tan and rattan accessories’.
Breathable and comfy, another person noted: “It’s a lovely dress looks as nice as in the photo lovely material I now have three of the same style. They’re so cool on holiday. I felt so good wearing them. I would recommend them.”

The dress comes in sizes 10 to 20.
When it comes to sizing, the dress is stocked in 10 to 20, but it has been said multiple times the dress is ‘very forgiving’. One customer gave advice, commenting: “Fabulous dress. Lovely and floaty. Hides all lumps and bumps. Very roomy so ended up going two sizes down. Love it so much I also got the blue one.”
While negative feedback is hard to come by, someone has said the dress may not be suited to all heights. They explained: “The fit and quality are excellent. The length let’s the dress down. I am 5ft 5 in and this dress neatly touches the floor.”
Next have an extensive range of petite dresses, where shoppers that are shorter can find maxi dresses that work for them. This Ecru Floral Pleated Mesh Print V-Neck Occasion Maxi Dress has a more formal finish, retailing for £69, and could be an excellent choice for any summer weddings in the calendar.
Likewise, shoppers have said the same about the Roman dress, with someone sharing: “Love the colours ideal holiday evening wear or could be wedding guest suitable with the right accessories..”
Another maxi dress that’s just the ticket for holidays is New Look’s White and Blue Painted Leaf Pattern Beach Maxi Dress. Priced at £35.99, the blue and white print is gorgeous and it would work very well popped over swimwear.
Back to Roman’s dress, a happy customer wrote: “Great colour really different loose flows well and hides all the lumps and bumps!”
And a second pleased purchaser said: “Stunning coloured dress that’s perfect for summer! Fits beautifully and got so many compliments. Washed well on delicate. Excellent value for money and highly recommended.”
