What is Roman sizing like?

[Rainrainrainrainrainrainrain]

As title. Do the come up big or small? They have some lovely dresses ...

In my experience they're spot on.

So would an 18 be an M&S 18 or more like a teenage brand 18?

I think they are slightly on the big side. They are like Next with generous sizing.

I'd say it's more a generous size but I've only bought one dress from there, that was a few years ago and I still have it, go fit something that has a stretch to it rather than a dress that zips up. Roman is more marketed towards over 40s I'd say, so I wouldn't expect it to be cut for teenage bodies.

I always find their tops tight over the bust despite fitting elsewhere so you may need to size up if large chested.

Their tops and dresses are try by to at.e but i think trousers are a little small

Try again

Tops and dresses are true to size

Trousers are a little small

I got a dress for a wedding in a size 14 and I was JUST a 14 ( losing weight ) it fitted like a dream. Now Im a large size 12 its a tad too big so Id say dress sizes are spot on

I find them true to size.

I think they're true to size. Trousers especially. I have v small boobs though so maybe beware of pp point if you're quite busty

Sizing is about right, but they are often cut for a more womanly figure, so more forgiving in place.

I would say true to size. I’m a 12-14 in most shops and I recently bought three things from them that were all 14s. Trousers, too, cardigan. They are all just right to slightly roomy.

I find them large and shapeless on me unfortunately. I'm generally a size 10 and I like the look of their dresses but they just don't fit me properly, too much material at the waist so they don't look fitted or neat.

I got a dress for a wedding when I was a size 14 and had to get a 10 there. I am short so and it wasn't very fitted but I'd say they are quite generous.

Usually true to size for me too, I would say they cater for over 40s market so sizing reflects that (I'm 42 and a small size 14, usually fit a 14 there but occasionally need to size down to 12 so yeah about right)

I have a size 16 dress from them, have recently lost weight and now a 14 in most shops, the dress is too big really although tunic style so it matters less. I'd say true to size.

I had a pair of medium elastic trousers from there once and the sizing was very generous. The more fitted items are more true to size.

Thanks everyone.
Yes I suspected Roman clothes are targeted at the over 40s as that's what I am 😀
