Roman shoppers say £48 maxi dress is ‘flattering’ for summer occasions

Every great summer wardrobe contains a maxi dress. Floaty, feminine, and easy to style, it’s the perfect go-to for all kinds of summer occasions – from weddings to christenings, garden parties to date nights.

To help shoppers on their hunt for the perfect summer maxi dress, we’ve found this gorgeous floral number that’s £48 at Roman and is ideal for dressing up in the warmer months. Available in sizes 10 to 20, this teal dress has a pretty white lily pattern, a flattering v neckline, button detailing and short sleeves.

It’s also available in other colours and designs, including green polka dot, orange tropical print, and pink ditsy floral, so shoppers can find the dress that suits them and their wardrobes best.

The maxi length is easy to style with a simple strappy sandal or a statement heel, while the stretchy shirred waist accentuates all the right places while still being comfortable to wear. Plus, the short sleeves mean that shoppers won’t get to chilly if there’s a little breeze, and the dress can be taken seamlessly from day to night.

With maxi dresses being such a popular choice for the summer, there are plenty of options out there to choose from. For a more formal option, there’s this Floral Pleated Mesh Print V-Neck Occasion dress from Next, which costs £69 and comes in navy blue or purple. It has a v-neck collar, short ruffle sleeves and a gathered waist for a pretty look that’s perfect for a wedding.

Alternatively, shoppers could take a look at the Brakeburn Wildflower Maxi Dress at John Lewis, which is in a lovely green and white colour, has three-quarter length sleeves, and a classic collared neckline, for £74.99.

Shoppers are loving the Roman dress, which has scores of positive reviews. One shopper said: “Stunning dress for wedding or summer occasions. Looks flattering on.”

“Lovely soft fabric. Comfortable to wear. So pretty!” said another.

“The dress is gorgeous, perfect fit, can’t wait to wear it,” said a third.

Some fashion fans found they personally had some issues with the fit of the dress, however. One said: “Lovely dress but I returned it because the style didn’t suit my figure.”

“Beautiful dress, good fit and good value but unfortunately I had to return it as it was much too long,” noted another.

That said, plenty of shoppers have found the Roman Floral Print Shirred Waist Maxi Dress to be an ideal buy for summer occasions – just make sure to check the length before purchasing and hopefully buyers will be onto a winner.
