'Summer must-have' Roman midi dress launches in trending leopard print – and it's on sale for £30
As summer gets into full swing and the heatwave sweeps across the UK, the fashion spotlight turns to the breezy elegance of floaty fabrics and midi dresses. These wardrobe staples not only promise comfort in sweaty temperatures but also can be dressed up to look chic, perfect for both casual outings and more formal gatherings. With their lightweight, breathable materials and flowing silhouettes, floaty fabrics and midi dresses give the ideal combination of practicality and chic sophistication.
Our pick of the week? Roman's Brown Shirred Leopard Print Bardot Dress, on sale for £30 here (down from £38). The leopard print version of this shopper-favourite midi dress has just launched, and it gives the ultra-flattering fit a trendy edge. With high-end brands like Ganni, RIXO and Reformation dropping plenty of leopard print pieces this season, it seems to take inspiration from them with this particular pattern.
The midi features a form-flattering shirred bodice and cute bardot sleeves that stay in place thanks to some clever elastic. The full-length design floats down into a high-waisted skirt with double splits, giving you that perfect mix of comfy and stylish. Made from lightweight animal print fabric, it's a suitcase must-have. Just throw it on with your favourite sandals and you’re ready to roll. Whether you're hitting the beach or a BBQ, this dress has got you covered.

One five-star reviewer writes: "Don't usually get animal print in any other colour other than leopard brown, but this pink-brown animal print is quite nice and feminine. Can wear it with flats or boots. Very comfy, tiered style and cuffed sleeves, love it!"
A second chimes in with "This is a very feminine dress great feel and good fit size 10 and ordered 10. Had to turn up the length as I'm 5ft 3 and just too long so altered it to midi length but overall happy with item."
"Fabulous just what I need for holidays x great style! Love the designs dress up or down! Easy styling! Washes well and looks good! perfect length for my 5'4"," pens a third.
If you're looking for other summer style suggestions, we’ve found a fantastic alternative to a silky midi dress pregnant Dr Who star Jenna Coleman recently wore: ASOS DESIGN Satin Batwing Maxi Dress In Oyster, £68 here. Like Jenna’s, it may not technically be a maternity dress, but its high under-bust waistline leaves plenty of room for growing bumps whilst still being wearable for plenty of occasions after giving birth. It also makes for a great summer occasionwear pick for anyone looking for a breezy style suggestion.
