Problems in Harry and Meghan Marriage
I haven’t bought anything new to wear for yonks, but posts from Roman appeared on my Facebook and I had a look. I quite like a few garments, the reviews are mostly very positive but as per post title, has anyone bought from this company? I’m wondering about quality of materials, how true-to-size the clothes are, and if you had any problems, was the company responsive?
I promised myself a good while back that for sustainability, etc. I didn’t need/wouldn’t buy anything new and would buy from charity shops, etc. instead. But, unfortunately, my local charity shops are 1) just not getting in/displaying many nice quality garments in my size and 2) those that I’ve seen in my size are imo, often ridiculously overpriced and/or poor quality.

Another very satisfied customer here. My friend and I have purchased many tops, dresses and she has had trousers from them, all good quality (I've had some tops for years and many washings and they are fine). I'm only 5 feet tall so I buy jeans and trousers from Bon Marche which does a 25 inch leg length.

Agree.
I've only ever returned one dress. I had an e-mail before I got home from the P.O. and the refund was in my account within a few days. I did actually wonder if they'd even received the return when they processed my refund!!
Deliveries are very swift too.
Excellent customer service.

I only ever wear dresses and have bought over a dozen from Roman online (size 18).
I like that they give the lengths as I prefer midi styles (c) 125cm length now following two TKRs. Also most often online they have a video amongst the multi-view photographs with the model showing all aspects of the garments.
Many items are also available in a multitude of colours and shades.
I haven't had any problem with fabrics, whether with formal or day dresses. Delivery is great. I've only had to return one item and it was acknowledged at the time of return and the £s back into my account within days.
Maybe try a one off first? I suggest that you look at the Sale items on their website. You will also find that very often there's a Code at the top of the page for a further discount - at present an extra 10%.
The descriptions, photo's and videos give you a very clear idea if the garment is for you. If you like it then you are unlikely to be disappointed.

I needed a black, formal, long-line jacket and the only one I could find was from Roman which I had not previously heard of. I was a bit dubious (got badly bitten by something called Damensein) but felt that I had no choice. Was very pleasantly surprised: excellent fit and quality, and a reasonable price though not cheap. Have looked on their webpage since but as I really don't need any more clothes haven't bought any thing else yet.
Roman is excellent for the price! Nothing like Temu who have quite a poor reputation.
If you return items to Roman the refund is super quick too.
I’ve recently bought from Roman. Link from a friend, to genuine Roman website. Very affordable jumpers, sizes if anything are larger. Quality is fine. I did return one item due to very oversized, and paid £3 to return it. I understand returns are free if you swap for a smaller size, or the item is faulty. My friend uses them frequently, I’d happily buy from again. It’s not haute couture, and not going to last for decades, but for the money I think it’s very good.
I really like Roman clothes and have bought lots of smart tops etc. I buy through Next as I can collect in store. I find the sizing true to size.
I have bought several items direct from the shop in Staines shopping Center. I have been pleased with the dress and tops.
I now tend to buy all my tops from vinted. It is all pre loved, second hand items and most of the tunic tops I’ve bought have been exactly right. You can buy whatever brand, colour, size you want.
Going back a good few years but at ons stage that did not guve refunds only credit notes which there was a bit if a public furore about this and their returns policy
Thete stuff looks nice but l think it only goes up to Size 18 or 20
I buy a couple of pieces a year from Roman - mainly tops and dresses - and have found them all to be of good quality, they wash well and are enduring.
The jumper I get most complimented on came from Roman. OK quality but you get what you pay for. Would buy from them again and sizes are a little on the big size. I buy 10 rather than 12.
I have bought a few things from there and was very happy with them. One word of caution though, don't click the link through FB. I did this at first then found out it was a scam. Luckily my bank flagged it as suspect and stopped the payment. Roman confirmed that there were some dodgy links to them via FB. Go direct through their website.
Thanks again for all your replies. I’ll have to do an online order, there’s no Roman stockists close to me.
Bought a few items and always been ok
I've bought from them, both online and in local Roman Originals outlet shop. I've been very happy with the quality and sizing. It's my go to place rather than M&S now..
I bought a dress online from Roman last summer. It looked so beautiful in the advert and I was delighted when it looked just as beautiful in the flesh. I've worn it quite a few times and I feel great in it, it's very "me". It's well made and true to size and, best of all, it was a bargain in the sale!
depending on where you live there are Roman shops where you can look at the clothing. My issue with Roman is I went into a store and wanted trousers longer than 25" and the staff said I would have to order online. Why can't the shops have a variety of items in different sizes ?
I have bought a number of items over the years the most recent being a really pretty white blouse. The quality must be fairly good as they have lasted for years. I have bought from the actual shop and also online and both methods worked for me. X
I have bought a few items from Roman over the years. Dresses for a cruise were lovely but most recently I bought a sweater dress which bobbled up after one wear and lost its shape after one wash which was very disappointing.
I would suggest getting the next size up from your usual size. That was my experience of using them. Good Luck
I’ve bought on line and from Roman shops with no problems - quick delivery and returns. I find the tops came up rather big on me and I have to go down a size. There is a lot more choice and offers on line.
I have bought alot from Roman over the years and I will sat their return system.is very easy. Just open the bags carefully leave labels on etc so I wouldn't worry about trying a couple of things .
Yes I’ve bought several different items from them and have been very pleased with the quality, they do come up a little bit bigger than some other shops sizes and not enough to warrant buying the next size down
I’m a big fan of Roman clothes……excellent choices and good quality. Absolute bargains in the seasonable sales
