Roman’s £30 summer dress hailed ‘perfect’ for hiding upper arms

As the hot weather continues, many people are keen to update their summer wardrobes with lightweight, flowy dresses. The Roman Navy Petite Abstract Print Button Midi Dress is loved by many shoppers who have rated it five out of five in reviews.

Reduced from £38 to £30, the printed frock features a classic round neckline and stylish front button details. It features a navy-blue foliage print pattern against white material. The petite range, designed for those measuring at 5’3″ and under, is available between size UK8 and UK18.

The dress boasts elegant 3/4 length sleeves and a flattering fit that finishes at a midi length. With a shirred waistband, it has a slimming silhouette while maintaining great body movement, and can be worn at both casual and dressy occasions. 

It is crafted from a comfortable woven fabric to ensure breathability, making this a wardrobe staple shoppers will reach for time and again. Other than Roman, Boden’s summer sale has seen their  Mia Tiered Shirt Dress in Gallery Blue, Vine Tile marked down from £136 to £68. The midaxi dress features a fabric tie belt, button cuffed sleeves and a full skirt.

White Stuff’s Megan Midi Jersey Dress, £65, is an easy fitting piece that can be worn for long walks in the park or running errands.

The Roman dress can be dressed up or down, plus its reduced price makes it even more affordable. “Like the colour and sleeves, perfect to hide upper arms,” one reviewer said while another chimed in: “I like the colour and the style.” And a third added: “Worn this dress twice and have had loads of compliments, so comfortable and cool, my favourite dress at the moment.”

Someone else pointed out something about the length of Roman’s dress: “I don’t usually choose petite as I’m 5ft 6, but this is a perfect midi length. Fits perfectly. Maybe more a maxi dress for someone shorter.”

The Roman Navy Petite Abstract Print Button Midi Dress is now £30. There are other styles included in the retailer’s sale, like this Royal Blue Geometric Print Belted Shirt Midi Dress, which has been marked down from £40 to £24.
