Roman's £27 spring dress in three colours that 'doesn't cling to tummy' has 'great shape'

With spring in touching distance, many of us are preparing for the great wardrobe switch-over, with long coats, thick woolly jumpers and scarves gearing up for hibernation. For those of us who want to add a few new pieces to our spring rotation, Roman's up to 70% off saleis lending a helping hand with some reduced prices on jumpers, dresses, tops and more.

What's more is it's currently running an offer whereby shoppers who enter the discount code GRAB10 at the checkout can get 10% off their order. This is eligible on both sale and full price items, which is ideal for shoppers on a budget but who still want to freshen up their capsule collection.

For example, shoppers looking for a dress that can be worn for work and leisure time can snap up theA-Line Pocket Detail Stretch Swing Dress for £27, instead of its usual retail price of £38.

Coming in three colours - purple, green and black - the dress is available in sizes 10 to 20 is such a flattering cut with its boat neckline and floaty swing silhouette. Made with 'soft, cosy' fabric, it measures at 96cm from neck to hem, which should fall to the knees - although on petite or taller frames, it may be longer or shorter.

Perfect for chillier weather, it features ¾ length fitted sleeves and comes with two side pockets.

Great for layering, it'd work with tights, boots and a stylish gilet on colder days, or sandals and a denim jacket when the weather turns a little more manageable.

Shoppers have pre-warned that the sizing of the dresstends to 'come up big', so for those who want a more fitted style should size down. Although this hasn't deterred fans from snapping it up, as one person noted: "Great dress comes up big so I went down a size. Really comfortable dress when I wear it and everyone comments on how lovely it is."

Another remarked: "I love this dress, it is stylish, comfortable and most important comes in three colours. It also has pockets!"

Its swing design has been praised for the skimming style that glides over the 'tummy', with one five star review citing: "I love this dress and style so much. It is a great shape, doesn't cling to my waist or tummy and hangs so well. It's comfortable to wear. I've bought it in a few colours now and would love Roman to make more empire line styles."

While we may be yearning for more sunshine, it's inevitable that April showers will drench us as usual, so we need a good coat for that.

Roman's Khaki Waxed Longline Hooded Coatis 4.9 out of 5 stars and is currently on sale for £99 down from £120. But with the 10% discount code, it can be bought for £89.10. With a waxed design that is both practical and stylish, the coat features a longline hem and adjustable waist and hood to keep the rain out.

Fastened with both a zipper with popper detailing, it's a great option for transitioning from winter to spring and would look great with both trainers and boots.

Available inkhaki and black, sizes 14 to 20 are in stock in the green, and shoppers have been calling it 'perfect', for the current weather with one person noting: "Another fab purchase from Roman. I had been looking for a long waterproof jacket with a hood and found this to be perfect. I purchased the khaki jacket. It is true to size, warm with great pockets. I may have to purchase the chocolate one also! I would recommend this jacket as an addition to your winter wardrobe."

Another hailed it as having the 'best fitting hood ever' and said: "I love everything about this coat. Well made, good quality and fit. Fully lined, including the hood which is the best fitting hood ever. Plenty of pockets including two that fasten with lots of room. When the coat is zipped up and fastened it provides warm, wind proof protection from the weather. The hood is removable and the collar is lined for comfort."

Its oversized fit was the only qualm some people had, with one person sharing: "Nice jacket and great price. I felt it was on the big side even with the draw string waist. It was very roomy round the upper back so I requested an exchange for a smaller size."

This Roman coat is a great alternative to the sold out Pure Cotton Waxed Hooded Longline Car Coat in black from Marks and Spencer (although it's also available in green, which is in stock in most sizes). Costing£95, it comes with a detachable hood and is 'made from waxed cotton for a heritage feel'.

Elsewhere, at ASOS the ASOS DESIGN Petite rubberised rain parka coat in black is currently £45 and is a good option for those of smaller stature.

Shoppers who love a good timeless staple that's both comfortable and stylish can get the Roman Sage Elastic Waist 31" Denim Stretch Jeggings for £18 instead of its sale price of £20 from £26. Coming in three colours - green, denim blue and black - the jeggings have an elasticated waistband and two back pockets for extra storage.

Made from a cotton blend, the jeggings have a woven stretch finish, which makes them a lot more comfortable than regular jeans, are likely to be super soft on the skin and feature belt loops for added accessories. They're ideal for pairing with a looser, baggy blouse or fitted jacket.

With a five star rating, it's clear that these trousers are a hit with shoppers, with one person remarking: "Lovely colour, bought to team with Lace floral v neck top, match perfectly. Trousers are so comfortable, and very flattering."

Another shared: "Love the jeggins! So comfy and come in so many colours, you can match all your pretty jumpers and cardigans."

"Good fit, true to size. Nice colour, have a few pairs of these in different colours."

Of course, being jeggings, they don't have a button fastening and if their seam or elasticated waistband isn't covered up, they do look more like leggings than jeans. Although, with a belt, it's unlikely to be noticeable.

It's also important to note that they don't come in different lengths, with the leg length measuring at approximately 79cm.
