A particular party dress from retailer Roman is receiving glowing reviews from shoppers, with many highlighting its flattering, figure-sculpting fit just in time for the festive season. The Black Side Twist Sleeveless Glitter Dress, priced at £50, is being celebrated for its clever design that elegantly combines classic style with a touch of sparkle.
Design Details and Flattering Fit
The dress is a sleeveless, knee-length piece crafted from a stretch jersey fabric. It features a modest round neckline and is cut in a popular fit-and-flare silhouette, known for accentuating the waist. The standout design element is a unique side twist detail that creates elegant draping. This twist reveals a slice of glittering sequin fabric at the waist, providing what fans describe as 'just the right amount of sparkle' for a Christmas party without being overwhelming.
Roman describes the finish as 'shimmering and sophisticated,' and customer feedback strongly supports this claim. The dress is available in sizes 10 to 20 and can be purchased directly from Roman, as well as from Debenhams and Next for the same price.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Slimming Effect
The dress currently holds a perfect five out of five stars from 22 reviews on Roman's website. The consensus among buyers is that the design is exceptionally flattering. One reviewer stated, "Love this dress... it fit perfectly and [is] very slimming." Another elaborated, "This is a very flattering dress. It shows off my waist but not my tummy."
Additional praise focused on the dress's comfort, elegant appearance, and perceived value, with one shopper noting it looks "far more expensive than it is." Reviews mentioned its suitability for work Christmas parties and general festive gatherings, with many deeming it a 'perfect' choice.
Alternative Party Dress Options
For those seeking different styles, the market offers several other sparkling options. Shoppers can consider the Hand Embellished Sequin Disc Hem Mini Dress for £60 at Nasty Gal, which features a plain bodice and a sequinned skirt with disc details. Alternatively, H&M offers a Sequined Wrap Dress for £27, available in silver and black with a wrapover front design.
A Note on Quality and Availability
While the Roman site showed no negative reviews at the time of writing, a critical review from a Next customer highlighted a potential inconsistency in manufacturing. The customer reported an issue with the hang of the dress and a visible seam on one of two sizes ordered, suggesting variable quality control.
Despite this isolated note, the overwhelming positive response suggests the Black Side Twist Sleeveless Glitter Dress has become a go-to, affordable party piece for the festive season, successfully marrying a slimming silhouette with festive sparkle.
