Roman's £42 midi dress hailed 'perfect for work' and 'so elegant' by shoppers

Roman shoppers are singing the praises of a Roman midi dress that looks 'elegant' and is 'perfect for work'. The Red Geometric Tie Waist Stretch Midi Shirt Dress has garnered glowing reviews from satisfied buyers.

Retailing at £42 and available in a variety of sizes from UK10 to 20, the dress is one that shoppers can see themselves wearing to the office, weekend brunches and weddings. Crafted from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, it boasts a geometric print, a rounded collar and a self-tie belt that cinches the waist. It's also crafted from smooth woven fabric and comes in a midi length with practical pockets and button details. At the time of writing, shoppers can get 10% off new-season items, including this frock, with the code: FRESH.

The fit-and-flare shape means shoppers can expect a flattering silhouette while the three-quarter length sleeves add to the allure of this daywear dress, making it ideal not only for summer but all year round.

If this dress doesn't cut it for shoppers, they could alternatively opt for New Look Women's Yellow Gingham Bow Back Midi Dress for £33.99. Available in sizes UK 8 to 22, it features a flattering V-neck and puff sleeves, making it perfect for summer wear, while the bow back adds an unexpected chic twist, reports Liverpool Echo.

Next's Puff Sleeeve Midi Dress, £36, is a great tummy-flattering style and comes in red, a brown polka-dot version and a navy floral option. Shopping writer Tiffany Lo bought the dress two months ago and had lots of compliments from friends.

For those willing to spend a bit more, there's also the Sosandar Floral V-Neck Knee Length Wrap Dress for £75 from M&S, available in sizes UK 6 to 20, designed in a regular fit that wraps over the bust to create a flattering V-neckline.

However, the Roman dress has received high praise, boasting a 4.9 out of 5-star rating on the website. One shopper penned: "Love the dress...it's so elegant. It certainly needed ironing but that wasn't a problem and I've received a lot of compliments. I normally wear trousers but despite my age I feel so nice in it."

Another customer shared: "Really lovely shirt dress that fits beautifully. Bought the red version and may now buy the blue one also," another customer shared while a third shopper chimed in: "I love the colour and the fit is great. Smart but has stretch, perfect for work."

However, not everyone was as pleased, with one person writing: "Looks lovely but a bit too long for me but loved it and will have to get shortened."

Another commented: "Unusual fabric design, which makes a big change from florals. However, being only 5ft 1, tall or short midi becomes maxi, so I have needed to shorten drastically, so I hope it will not spoil the overall look of the dress. On behalf of all the elderly short women, please, clothes designers, consider the shorter women in your garment designs."

The Red Geometric Tie Waist Stretch Midi Shirt Dress can be purchased from Roman.
