Woman stopped in street over ‘flattering to the figure’ £27 blouse

Browsing for new outfits can be a daunting experience, particularly for those of a more mature age. The high street is frequently stocked with pieces tailored towards younger shoppers, leaving older customers overlooked.

Thankfully, Roman provides fashionable clothing suitable for women of every age. One standout piece that suits all is the ‘lovely’ Ivory Dusk Butterfly Lace Blouse. Indeed, one shopper – aged 89 – found herself on the receiving end of compliments while wearing it.

The Ivory Dusk Butterfly Lace Blouse is priced at £36. New Roman customers who enter our exclusive discount code ‘AFRPLC25Q226’ can secure it with a 25% reduction, bringing the cost down to £27.

Similarly, existing customers can enjoy a 10% saving by entering the promotional code ‘VIBE’ at checkout, reducing the price to £32.40. To make the offer even more appealing, Roman is also providing all shoppers with free express delivery on the blouse, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The Ivory Dusk Butterfly Lace Blouse is available in sizes small/medium and medium/large, and can also be found in a delightful baby blue shade as well as a charming dusky pink.

Delicate and feminine, this boho-inspired blouse is perfectly suited to warm-weather dressing. Crafted from a cotton and lace blend, it is breathable, gentle on the skin and long-lasting, retaining its shape season after season.

Featuring short sleeves and an elasticated waist, it provides a relaxed and generously cut fit. The intricate lace detailing lends a sophisticated touch, making it equally suited to casual outings and more formal occasions.

Thanks to its adaptable design, the Ivory Dusk Butterfly Lace Blouse can be dressed numerous ways. Team with tailored trousers or crisp jeans for an elegant outfit, or combine it with shorts or a flowing skirt for a summery, 70s-influenced aesthetic.

Meanwhile, Marks and Spencer’s Pure Cotton Lace Insert Pintuck Blouse is priced at £36. It’s tailored in a relaxed regular fit with a tidy button closure and finished with a crew neckline and gently puffed short sleeves.

Alternatively, Next’s Sage Green N. Premium Occasion Floral Lace Short Sleeve Top is available for £56. A distinctive piece from the retailer’s premium range, it showcases an elaborate all-over floral lace pattern that perfectly blends timeless sophistication with a striking, modern shade.

Back at Roman, the Ivory Dusk Butterfly Lace Blouse has accumulated 10 positive reviews. One delighted customer said: “It looks fabulous, can’t wait to wear it on holiday.”

A second wrote: “A keen fan of Roman clothes and enjoys wearing them, has several tops and jumpers. Very efficient service from Roman and prompt delivery. At the grand age of 89, I do not feel at all frumpy and receive many compliments on my clothes. Age is just a number wearing Roman fashion.”

“Beautiful blouse/top,” a third penned. “True to size, I’m a 12 and got the s/m. The top looks quite a dark ivory on the site, but I was delighted to see it was nearly white. Quite boho, it looks great with my jeans and wide trousers. Delighted with the purchase.”

Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback surrounding the Ivory Dusk Butterfly Lace Blouse, there are a few considerations worth bearing in mind. The blouse is available in a restricted size range, meaning it may not be suitable for everyone.

Roman also recommends the blouse be hand-washed only, owing to its delicate lace fabric, making it somewhat more demanding to care for than other tops that can simply be machine-washed.

Nevertheless, one satisfied customer declared their love for their latest Roman purchase, adding: “I love lace. I wore it yesterday. Ladies stopped me to say how nice it is and asked me where I got it from.”

A further five-star review states: “Very lovely blouse, dress down with jeans or up with palazzo pants. Flattering to the figure. I have had so many people compliment me on this blouse. Well done, Roman, once again.”
