Every woman deserves a dress in her wardrobe that makes her feel truly wonderful. Whether you're dressing up for a wedding or birthday celebration, or simply seeking a new frock to pack for your holidays, the perfect dress should be both stylish and practical in equal measure.
If your wardrobe is crying out for such a piece, it's well worth casting your eye towards Roman. The high-street retailer stocks a dress that shoppers say 'gets lots of compliments' whenever they wear it.
Roman's Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Midi Dress is priced at £48, however new Roman customers who use our exclusive discount code 'AFRPLC25Q226' can enjoy 25% off the brand until the end of June. This reduces the price to a very reasonable £36.
Similarly, existing Roman customers can save 10% by entering the promotional voucher 'JUNE' at checkout, bringing the dress down to £43.20 once the discount has been applied. To make the offer even more attractive, Roman is also providing free express delivery on purchases of the dress.
The Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Midi Dress is available in sizes ten to 20, all of which remain in stock online. It boasts a fit-and-flare silhouette with a broad ruched waistline designed to flatter every figure, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The garment features a V-neckline and short capped sleeves, providing modest coverage for the shoulders in the sunshine. Perfectly suited to warmer days, the bold floral print and wooden button detailing at the bust make it a charming addition to any wardrobe.
Made from a lightweight viscose fabric, the dress offers a budget-friendly alternative to silk. Designed to feel wonderfully soft against the skin, it drapes elegantly and retains its shape through repeated washing.
Exceptionally breathable, the Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Midi Dress allows air to flow freely, making it perfect for those who enjoy wearing longer dresses during the summer months while staying cool. Viscose is also highly absorbent, drawing moisture away from the skin to keep wearers feeling fresh and comfortable.
Falling to a midi length, the dress is universally flattering on women of all heights and body types. The hemline should sit at the slimmest part of the leg, the mid-calf, creating a slimming and elongating effect that adds the appearance of extra height.
Thanks to its versatile design, the piece can be effortlessly styled up or down depending on the occasion. Team it with sandals, flats or white trainers for more relaxed settings, or opt for heels or wedges at formal events.
If you like the look of the dress but would prefer a different colourway, there's no need to worry. It comes in five alternative prints, including: Pink Floral, Black Floral, Pink Abstract, Yellow Floral and Fuschia Floral.
Elsewhere, Marks and Spencer's Floral Relaxed Maxi Waisted Dress is priced at £45. The effortlessly sophisticated dress features a contemporary relaxed fit, sleeveless silhouette and neat keyhole button fastening on the back of the round neckline.
A curved seam at the waist lends the full skirt an elegantly draped appearance. Available in sizes six to 18 in petite, regular and tall lengths, the dress comes fully lined for added comfort.
Alternatively, Next's Chocolate Brown Sleeveless Square Neck Ribbed Midi Dress is priced at £45. This stunning midi dress pairs a comfortable ribbed jersey bodice with a delicate woven skirt.
The tiered design introduces a feminine flow, making it an ideal choice for sun-soaked garden parties or warm holiday evenings. Effortlessly chic, it delivers a fresh and breezy aesthetic for any seasonal occasion.
Over at Roman, the Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Midi Dress boasts an impressive overall star rating of 4.9 out of five, based on 96 reviews. One delighted customer said: "Love it. It floats around and feels great. I wanted it for a wedding and it was perfect."
A second wrote: "I have this dress and wore it for the first time today. Went out to lunch and a number of people stopped me to say how nice my dress was. I can't remember the last time that happened.
"Bought this to wear for my 70th," a third penned. "Got lots of compliments. Creased cotton. But washed well and hung on a hanger on line and looks ok to wear without ironing. Note waist is fitted."
While the Fuchsia Floral Ruched Waist Midi Dress has no negative reviews as such, one shopper deducted a star as the garment was longer than anticipated, noting: "I am 5ft 2ins and dress is a bit longer than expected.
"I decided to keep it as I love the style and vibrant colours. Will probably shorten it for next summer. Great material.
"Lovely colourful dress worn to my work BBQ," another four-star review mentions. "Got a lot of compliments for it. Only thing is there is some much material in the skirt and it is very long. Therefore I have given it four stars."
Nevertheless, someone else was delighted with their latest Roman purchase, adding: "Beautiful dress and so inexpensive, looks very classy. Lovely material. Very long on me so I shortened it to just the length I wanted. Can't wait to wear it on my holiday in Mexico and on cruises."
Another five-star review reads: "Loved this dress, it could have been made to measure although it will need shortening a little as it touched the floor. Fabric is so colourful and vibrant. A dress with pockets too! , wonderful."
