A jumper dress can be one of the most hardworking pieces of clothing in any wardrobe for a number of reasons. An easy throw-on-and-go outfit , shoppers who find the right one can wear it for casual occasions or to work and be reassured they’ll be comfortable all day. At Roman, a Black Check Print Belted Jumper Dress is receiving lots of praise for not only being ‘flattering’, but for its ‘great value’ price tag, too. The versatile dress retails for £48 and for a limited time, shoppers can nab it for even less using the 10% discount code LEAF at checkout. Cut from a soft knitted fabric, the jumper dress gives the illusion of a top and skirt, however, it’s much easier to style as it comes in one. A self-tie belt cinches in at the waist, enhancing all figures, and it falls to an elegant knee-length – ideal to be paired with long boots for the cooler months. Stocked in sizes 10 to 20, it doesn’t come in petite which may be a problem for some. Alternatively, New Look offer a similar style with the Petite Brown Check Print 2 in 1 Mini Dress for £29.99. Sizing didn’t seem to be an issue for one shopper that left feedback on Roman’s website : “This dress fits so perfectly and really looks very classy! I absolutely love it. As I’m not very tall I was worried how the longer length would look on me but still looked amazing.” A second customers found the fit to be spot on, writing: “Love the style and material. It really fits well because it’s stretch so it is figure hugging. Good for the office or a casual night out. Highly recommend it.” And a third person said: “The dress is flattering, length perfect. Looking forward to wearing it. It feels more dressy looking like a skirt and top to a full knitted dress.” Someone else noted they ‘love the colours’, however, as it is only available in monochrome, it might not be to everyone’s taste. Those that would prefer something brighter might want to consider Boden’s Annie Check Shift Dress in red and blue. It’s more expensive at £139, but is made from high quality 63% wool. Other reviews for Roman’s jumper dress describe it as ‘comfortable to wear’ and ‘stylish for autumn and winter’. One person shared: “Warm cosy, yet very classically elegant. Not overstated but well made (as always).” As the Roman jumper looks just as stylish with tights as it does with bare legs, it serves as an ideal transitional piece when the weather is unpredictable. It would also pair well with a coat or a jacket but could easily be worn separately on warmer days. Shoppers should use the code LEAF to get 10% off.
