Shoppers branded the £40 polka dot spring dress ‘elegant, sophisticated and feminine’ and it’s a steal compared to Boden’s similar £119 design
Shoppers are raving about an ‘elegant’ frock from Roman that bears a striking resemblance to Boden’s £119 offering. The Navy Polka Dot Ruched Sleeve Midi Dress normally retails at £45, but can be snapped up for just £40.50 using the code LUSH.
Roman’s charming Navy Polka Dot Ruched Sleeve Midi Dress is crafted from woven viscose fabric and falls to a stylish midi length, perfect for transitioning from warm summer days into balmy evenings. It features a flattering V neckline that beautifully showcases any necklace.

The dress boasts ruched sleeves and delightful button detailing that lends a youthful flair to the garment. A thick waistband creates pleats throughout the design, which is intended to be slipped on over the head. We reckon it would pair beautifully with wedges or sandals.
Boden stocks a remarkably similar piece – the Una Ruched Front Ponte Dress – though the raw umber and pale blue colour scheme is distinctly different. Priced at £119, it makes Roman’s version seem like an absolute bargain.
M&S also offers the Ruched Midi Tea Dress, which shares a comparable design, though the bow detailing at the neckline distinguishes it. At £30, it’s incredibly wallet-friendly, but is flying off the shelves with sizes now severely restricted, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Roman’s Navy Polka Dot Ruched Sleeve Midi Dress has garnered an impressive average rating of 4.9 out of 5. One customer gushed: “Elegant, sophisticated and feminine. Fabric is light and breezy.” The dress has won praise for its comfort, with one delighted shopper remarking: “This is my absolute favourite dress of all time. It fits beautifully, is very flattering and is extremely comfortable.”
Its lightweight fabric has also proved popular amongst buyers, with another commenting: “Lovely flattering fit.. I’m an 18 and feel good in it. Lovely light weight material, came just above my ankles, I’m 5’2.”
However, one customer noted it felt slightly restrictive around the arms, explaining: “Beautiful dress but runs small which is unusual for Roman. Agree with another comment too tight around arms.”
That said, opting for a larger size appears to resolve the issue, as another purchaser confirmed: “I bought a size bigger and it fitted well. I usually buy my normal size in your dresses and they fit fine.”
