ITV Lorraine’s stylist says Roman autumn dress is ‘super flattering’

Lorraine’s fashion expert Mark Heyes has been sharing his top autumnal clothing picks – and one particular dress has caught the attention of fans for all the right reasons

Lorraine Kelly’s style guru Mark Heyes has been on the hunt across the high street, showcasing his top fashion finds for the autumn. He’s tipping brown hues and tobacco tones to take over the late summer style stakes, singling out the Roman Beige Ruched Floral Frill Dress as a standout choice.

Retailing at £55, this adaptable midi dress is perfect for any occasion. Shoppers can bag a 10% discount by using the promo code STYLE at checkout, bringing the price down to £49.50.

While visiting Roman’s Lichfield store, Mark remarked: “Lovely little dress here. At first I thought it’s animal print but no, look, it’s florals.”

He added: “Really clever ruched detail that goes all the way down in the middle, making it super flattering. You’ve got sheer sleeves on here and it is one of those dresses you can do for daytime but also for night time.”

The dress features an eye-catching floral design with delicate mesh detailing and chic 3/4 sleeves, ensuring comfort in both warm and cooler weather. As Mark highlighted, the dress’s central ruching accentuates the figure and elegantly shapes areas like the waist, offering a flattering fit for various body types.

Roman has also shared styling tips with its customers: “Style it with heels and a tailored blazer for a sophisticated and fashionable look that is sure to make a statement.”

Elsewhere, ASOS offers a laid-back option with the Motel Darsih Flocked Floral Maxi Dress in brown, now reduced from £52 to £36.50. The dress features a gathered square neckline and thin straps, leading customers to describe it as ‘super cute’.

Next’s Brown Floral Sleeveless Column A-Line Maxi Dress presents an elegant A-line shape ideal for various occasions, from romantic dinners to special events. Available at Next for £52, this dress is offered in regular and tall sizes.

Yet, it’s the Roman frilled dress that seems to have truly won over shoppers, boasting an impressive 4.9 out of five-star rating. One customer, who bought it for a wedding, commented: “I love this dress. It fits well and is soft and comfortable. I bought a larger size as I have a bit of weight around the middle, which is barely visible under the dress.”

Another happy buyer remarked: “It is a really lovely dress, I am in between a 12 and 14, sent for two sizes and chose the 14. I wore to my grandson’s wedding and got lots of compliments. Boots will also go nicely for when the weather gets cooler.”

However, someone else commented: “I would have liked it a little brighter in colour though.”

It should be noted that the Roman dress is available in only one length, lacking petite or tall options, potentially affecting the fit for different heights. Despite this, a satisfied shopper expressed: “This dress is very comfortable to wear, looks good and hides my problematic areas very well.”
