Roman Originals shoppers are snapping up a striking £48 Corduroy Tunic Shirt Dress that comes in a choice of three autumn shades.

The retailer, celebrated for its on-trend offerings that don’t break the bank, has captured buyers’ attention with this shirt dress, which is rapidly becoming a popular buy.

The garment has a comfortable, flowing swing silhouette, with long sleeves and shirt cuffs, for a chic look. Its design also features a partially open front with button fastenings, making it a perfect match for tights and boots or for dressing up over winter.

Roman’s website describes the must-have piece as follows: “This flattering swing style, tunic dress is sure to become a season favourite. The woven cord fabric its cut from and knee length cut keeps it new and original. The button fly front collar and shirt cuffs add authentic details. Pair with tights and boots for a casual but chic look!”

In customer reviews, one fashion-forward buyer remarked: “Although this dress was quite creased when it arrived, once I had pressed it, it is absolutely stunning. I’ve worn it twice and no creasing has happened. I’m petite in height, about 5ft, but dress falls just below the knee. I am a size 14 and this dress fits perfectly in that size.”

Another added: “Arrived as expected well wrapped. Colour looks darker than illustration but attractive and vibrant. Fine cord fabric wears well but not washed yet. Length is below the knee for me at 5ft 1 and the fit is accurate. Hides a multitude of lumps and bumps.”

A third customer praised the dress, saying: “Really lovely colour. Good fit. Flattering shape. Bought two other colours.”

Another satisfied shopper commented: “As it looked in the photo. Good quality, true to size. Arrived quickly. Very pleased.”

Elsewhere, White Stuff has the Daria Cord Dress which costs £75 and is in a deep green shade which is perfect for the festive season.

Or, for a longer length version, the Seasalt Wightwick Midi Dress is a great option with five shades to choose from, it will et you back £85.95 though.
