Festive ‘slimming’ sequin dress now 48% off in sale

This Cyber Weekend could be your last chance to snap up festive dresses for less before the full-price period between Black Friday and Christmas. Roman is offering up to 50% off in a sale, including cosy knits, partywear and tops, with prices starting from £12.

We have 24 days until Christmas, and this Sequin Wrap Stretch Maxi Dress is a perfect piece to dazzle your way to office parties, family celebrations, and friends’ night outs. Originally priced at £90, shoppers can save almost half-price and get it for £46.50 with code BF15.

The long-sleeve design can keep you warm in the cold and hide away any upper arm concerns, while the moderate V-neck opening will elongate your chin and draw attention away from a broader forehead. With the embellished head-to-toe in sequins in a comfortable fabric that stretches as you move, this party dress will ensure all eyes are on you.

The dress is available in four festive colours, all at different discounts. If you like bright colours, this silver sequin dress gives you the biggest saving as it’s 38% off and you can get it at £55. However, code BF15 brings the price further down to £46.75.

The universal flattering navy version is reduced to £60 (£51 if using code BF15), while you can get 22% off at the emerald green alternative, but you can buy it at £59.50 with the Black Friday code. The royal blue option, however, will be reduced to £76.50 after applying the code at checkout.

The on-trend wrap silhouette and maxi length ensure that the Sequin Wrap Stretch Maxi Dress is flattering and feminine. In addition to the full sleeves, it features a ruched waist and stylish concealed back zip, making it look effortlessly glamorous and sophisticated.

Shoppers have shared their love of the dress online and gave it five-star reviews, as one shared of her silver sequin dress: “Fabulous dress, true to size, looks fabulous on, stretch fabric not too clingy, shows of my curves and sparkles when I walk, perfect for formal nights on upcoming cruise. Would love more in different colours.”

Another wrote: “Covers bat wings without any trouble and is easy to get on and off. It would look even better if there was less of me inside it but it did a good job of hiding some of my size 20 bulk. The sparkly bits do catch on jewellery though.”

Talking about the navy version, a third also said: “Superb evening dress, particularly suited to the fuller figure – very slimming! Fits to size. Well made and everything is stretchy to fit. I liked this navy one so much I bought the silver one next day! Says it all”

It’s worth noting that while most of the reviews are five-star, some found the dress length too long and had to take the dress to a seamstress for alterations. Another questioned ‘how washable’ the dress is due to the sequins.

Other than Roman, JD Williams’ Metallic Pleated Mesh Long Sleeve Dress gives you a subtle glitz without sparkling sequins and it’s £48. Jaded Rose’s Samman Sequin Maxi Dress is a round neck alternative in black and it’s available at Debenhams for £80.
