Roman clothing

[thistimelastweek]

I'm always impressed by the advice and general niceness of this corner of MN so I thought I'd throw this one out there.

I keep receiving adverts for Roman clothing and the dresses do look nice. However, I'm an on-line shopping fool and would prefer to avoid past mistakes.

So, are their clothes OK? If so, are the sizes fairly standard? (I'm not tall. )

Thank you!

If you order direct from them you have to pay for returns but you can order from the next website and return in store for free.

yeah i have a few things from them and its all good

I have a couple of cute dresses from there but fit and quality varies

I've had stuff from there and it's been good quality for the price. They are generous with their sizing.

It is mixed IME. Some absolutely great stuff, and some that goes straight back!

I’ve had some nice dresses from there. I’m only five foot exactly & they fit well. The quality I thought was fine for the price, better than much I’ve seen on the high street.

I love their stuff but would say their sizes are slightly small

I find them generous and have to down size but I only buy dresses from them.

I bought a lovely dress from them for my Mum to be buried in.
She would have liked it

Have had some lovely dresses from there, true to size imo

Some of my best things are from there.

Sometimes the fabric isn't nice, and some of it is very cruise wear- sequinned T-shirts and so on.

But I'm keeping a couple of things to copy the pattern from because they worked perfectly for me.

I have bought quite a few things from Roman, and have been pleased

I find the dresses true to size, but sent back a couple of tunic tops recently which were at least 2 sizes too big.

Their tops are enormous.

My main problem with them is that their colours are not true to how shown on the website - especially blues and greens. I have send things back several times, as look completely different in real life. Sizes are about right (I am twelve) but for me the waists are always too high - not just with Roman though.

Mixed but I have a few good items, including a jacket that I saw on another brand's website and it looked identical for 6 times the price!! I'd say the sizes run big, designed for more rounded figures, average height

Their petite stuff fits me perfectly and their tea dresses are very flattering. I've just bought a very nice Chanel type jacket from them for a great price and you can usually find a money off coupon.
I think like all firms they can be hit and miss but it's cheaper for me to send things back than take them back to the shop which is quite far away.
Avoid the Facebook group though. It can be a bit 'Snag' if you get my drift.

Ive had a few dresses - petite - true to size and well finished - ie hems and seams are straight etc

I've got a couple of dresses from.there. I'm 5'5" and they are a good length on me. They are generously sized.

I've also got a couple of pairs of trousers. I think the trousers are much truer to size but that could just be my shape!

This is such a useful tip!

Abit like a cheaper Boden I would say.. came across it a little while back - have got two striking summer dresses that are very lovely and get compliments. Think you can come across a good purchase from time to time!

Thanks all!
I'm checking it out.

I’m surprised at some of the fabrics, sweat inducing, considering the age they are aiming at. I’ve got a couple of tops that I live in in the winter, but many that I’ve sent back.
I also only buy via Next.

I bought some tops and was disappointed - the neckline seemed odd and revealed too much.
One tunic went all bobbly just in the wash - I didn’t tumble dry it so I won’t buy anything from them again.
If you buy online you have to pay the postage to return items or take into a store but they’re few and far between.
