I’ve had a couple of things and they’ve been ok. The quality isn’t the best, but neither is it the worst. I think for reasonably priced things, overall Roman isn’t too bad.

I've bought lots of things from Roman as they have what I call proper petite sizes. I've found the quality to be generally good. The returns process /refunds has been straightforward.

So more positive than negative up to now. And yes, I Googled the website, been caught out before by fake/scam links. Thanks for all your replies.

No I have not been pleased with the quality of Roman clothes poor quality and fabric. Personally I would not buy from them again.

Yes I ve bought off Roman mostly Jumpers /sweaters and
they ve all been good quality, they haven’t bobbled washed up well no grumbles from me
I did send one back because it just too baggy and I didn’t trust a smaller size … the money was back in my account as soon as they received it
So I m satisfied

I bought a dress for a family party and really like it. However, I did buy it in a shop and had about eight dresses to try and this one was the clear winner.
This is why I prefer to go in shops and try things on- lower margin of error that way although I know many will disagree.

I’ve been happy with my purchases from Roman. I bought a dress for a wedding and have now worn it to three weddings.

I bought a couple of things but the quality was poor. Very thin fabric.

Yes, I have bought loads from them over many years. Mostly tops and I am always happy with them. The quality is excellent, delivery quick and the sizing suits me. Customer service are also very helpful.

I am sure you will be happy too - try and buy when the items are reduced.

I bought a dress and jacket from them and was pleased. Bought something else and wasn't impressed. I don't suppose anywhere is 100% reliable.

Yes I have purchased dresses, sweaters, and jackets from Roman Originals. They are decent quality and reasonable in price If the ad is popping up on Facebook don't use the link as sometimes its a scam copy. Go online to their website instead

Thanks for your prompt replies. It’s tops, a sweater and a cardigan that I fancy.

I've had a couple of things from them and they've been fine - decent quality and the sizing was pretty spot on.

Likewise. Trousers and tops and a cardigan most recently.

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.
