Roman Originals

I keep getting adverts for Roman Originals and I like the look of their clothes. Has anyone bought anything from them and if so, what’s the quality like?

General high street quality, I have a few things from them.

I've bought quite a few things from there. Decent quality. Sizing can be quite generous. They charge for returns but do free delivery regardless of spend. Returns can take some time to be processed.

I've got some Roman Originals clothing. Generally good quality, sizing is slightly generous.

Generally decent quality.

Most of my wardrobe has morphed into Roman - they even have their own FB fan page.
Generally the clothes are true to size, good quality and most importantly flattering. They have a huge range of clothing so plenty of choice. Particularly good for dresses.
Next sell a limited range online so free returns to store and so do Amazon. There are a few shops but often with limited or last years stock.
Huge choice on Vinted too.
Hope this helps

I love thé short denim dress they are advertising a lot but as others have said, the sizing is generous and the 10 is too big. They don’t go any smaller which is unusual. The quality was decent though.

Yes I really like the stuff I've bought. I have a couple of dresses and a long chiffon type skirt I've had loads of compliments on.

I have a lovely faux fur coat I bought from there a few years ago that is still going strong and I always get asked where it's from!

I think they must have upped the advertising recently as I am also getting a lot of them, I love a couple of tops but they're all out of stock in my size.

Also sad that they start at a 10 as the tops I like currently are quite loose and I could probably get away with an 8.

I've bought a few dresses from there over the past few years The quality is good for the price. Great for everyday wear but I've also bought a nice outfit for a wedding and one for ladies day at the local race course. Sizing can be a bit hit and miss - I have bought 10s 12s and 14s that all fit the same. The reviews usually help with regards to sizing up or down. I now order through Next as I have a delivery plan and it make returns much easier.

I bought my new winter coat from them. The quality is really good for the price point.

NeedWineNow · 21/04/2023 11:36

As others have said good quality for the price. I've got two of pairs of the cropped pull on trousers that they do every year in an array of colours and really like them for the summer. A couple of my cruise evening dresses are from there as well and again are flattering and good quality.

I prefer to go into the store and look at fabric and try on without having the faff of orders/returns. We've got a shop in our local town and there is also one at the local outlet centre which is great if you're not fussed about having the current season. Actually one of my best bargains was from the outlet shop - a short padded jacket which had a small tear on the front by the zip. It was on the No Returns rail for £5. Tried it on, perfect size, patched the tear when I got home. It was still on the website for about £35 at the time. Both the main shop and outlet store seem to have a permanent sale rail which is always good for a rummage.

I have ordered online previously and found ordering and returns easy.

Just to say that although it's not all, they do do many lines in a size 8; if you filter by size, it will bring them up.

sizing is very generous, i have a few jumpsuits in a size 10 and there baggy on me and im 2 stone overweight and really a 12/14
