I really like this style of dress for a spring wedding next year, but have yet to find the one. I’m looking for a midi,( 130-135 cm long) cape sleeved dress in floral pinks and purples. The sleeves have to be long enough to cover upper arms v shaped at front. Many are too short in the sleeve. I found one on the Roman site but it is petite only.
This sort of thing.

Not sure what size you want so Yours may not be suitable:

I do like that, it’s almost ideal, but the sleeves aren’t long enough to cover my horrid arms! I think I've seen every cape sleeved dress in existence!

That one doesn’t have cape sleeves, unfortunately, they don’t go all round the back

Ah yes. More of a flutter sleeve.

Would you consider a lovely dress and a separate cape?

I love the one in my original post, but it’s petite, as so many are now. They should have a choice of regular or petite like other companies. Thanks anyway for your help

Roman usually do, the regular might just be out of stock @Allseeingallknowing :(

last suggestion!

Oh also to say - I find Roman quite a decent length. Might be worth a punt? You can always send it back or chop your legs off

Would scamp and dude be any good for you? Not sure if the patterns would suit you for a wedding tho!

I’m a fan of Roman, bought lots of dresses from them before, but they haven’t got the one I want in regular. The ideal length for me is 130-135 cm. The maxis are usually too long.
I’ll keep looking!

It is nice, but I’m looking for pink floral. Roman often offer just petite in styles and not both regular and petite. I’ve just seen one on Freemans but it it’s £89, and similar styles are much less I know I’m hard to please!

Use the word ',angel sleeve' in your search

It’s not the same. The cape sleeves go all round the back of the dress
