Roman shoppers love 'absolutely gorgeous' jumper dress that's 'flattering for apple-shaped figure'

If you're looking for the perfect comfy outfit this winter that is great for any occasion and will suit a curvier figure, look no further than this knitted jumper dress from Roman, which has been hailed as "absolutely gorgeous" - and costs less than £40.

The Longline Knitted Jumper Dress, from the online women's fashion retailer, is sure to become a wardrobe staple during the colder months, with its soft knit fabric making it an easy, comfortable wear, while pairing it with tights, boots and a jacket will create a chic evening look.

Made up of 52% viscose, 30% polyester, and 18% polyamide, the machine-washable dress features a stylish V-neckline and billowy, Blouson-style sleeves finishes in a ribbed cuff for a simultaneously slouchy but dressy feel. It sits at around 91cm long, making it just the right length for a going-out evening dress as the festive season approaches.

And the jumper dress comes in four versatile colour-ways - black, dark green, purple, and red - and is available in sizes 10-22, or going up to size 24 in the black option.

The dress, which costs just £38, has garnered an impressive 4.8-star rating out of five stars on the Roman website, with shoppers describing the garment as "awesome" and "perfect for all occasions".

One happy customer wrote: "This understated dress is absolutely gorgeous. This dress doesn't really look like much, but I needed a black dress to go with boots and jackets. If one is slightly curvy you can get away with it in this dress. Highly recommended."

Another added: "I've only tried this on so the test will be if it keeps its shape throughout the day and washes well. Initial thought is that it fits well and is flattering for an apple-shaped figure. Looks good with thick tights and ankle boots."

A third penned: "Absolutely delighted with the dress. Fabric is lovely: a very fine knit, not too thick, not too thin, however it does take quite a while to line dry! This replaces an old jumper dress I had. Clearly a wardrobe staple for me."

And another buyer commented: "I have literally worn this so much, I've just got the dark red one. Comfy, and great for all occasions."
