The festive period’s not through with us yet, with New Year’s Eve right around the corner. If you’ve got a party to go to and need something elegant but fun to wear, you can nab a great post-Christmas discount and ensure delivery in time for December 31 at Roman. 

They’ve got tonnes of great discounts to browse, including this Teal Glitter Velvet Maxi Stretch Dress available for £40 down from £55 (price correct at time of writing). It’s currently available in sizes 10 to 18, with next-day delivery for 99p – so you won’t have to worry about having absolutely nothing to wear for NYE celebrations.

With 10% elastane, this maxi stretch dress will hug your shape without sacrificing comfort and mobility. Its shallow V-neck cut and sleeveless style gives it a lovely casual party vibe, and its glitter-laden velvet will make you shimmer no matter where you’re spending the last day of the year. Its skirt falls just above the ankles for an elegant, subtle look, and its sleek design belies how quickly and easily you can slip it on — ideal for last-minute plans and spending all night on the dancefloor.

The dress itself has a 4.8 out of 5 average rating from five customer reviews so far. “Lovely beautiful comfortable dress,” said one five-star review. “I am 5’1” was a little long but with my high heels was fine. The green colour with the subtle sparkles is very nice when worn. A great dress to take away. Looks better on than when seen on the hanger. I was very happy.”

“Absolutely beautiful,” said another happy customer. “Great value and looks more expensive than it is. I am 5’3″ so it was full length on me, which is what I really liked.” A third said: “Love it. It fits perfectly and is comfortable to wear. Love the shimmer from the glitter.”

At TrustPilot, Roman has a 4.5 out of 5 average rating from almost 100,000 reviews, although there have been some less-positive reviews on there. “The dress was smaller and shorter than I expected and I thought the postage for the return was expensive,” said one review.
