Sleek, glamorous, and endlessly versatile, this is the dress that works as hard at a black tie wedding as it does at a cocktail party, a city dinner, or any occasion that calls for something truly elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCut on the bias in Rewritten's viscose satin, the Roma has a beautifully smooth handle with a little more give than our standard satin — making it one of the most comfortable styles in the collection. It drapes fluidly from a fitted halterneck bodice into a loosely flowing full-length skirt that moves beautifully with every step. The long crossover neck ties add quiet drama at the back and can be styled as a bow or a clean knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in sizes 8–22, full length approximately 114cm from waist to hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Roma in Black works harder than your average bridesmaid dress because:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack is the ultimate forever colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e Timeless, glamorous, and flattering on every skin tone — it works for every wedding theme, every season, and every venue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViscose satin with a difference.\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoother and with a little more give than standard polyester satin, the viscose fabric drapes beautifully and feels incredible against the skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe halterneck elongates and flatters.\u003c\/strong\u003e An elegant neckline that draws the eye upward and works beautifully across a wide range of body types.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThose neck ties are not an afterthought.\u003c\/strong\u003e Long crossover ties styled as a bow or knot give each bridesmaid a slightly different look.

Stick-on bras and nipple covers also work well. The halterneck provides its own support across the front, so many customers find they don't need additional support at all.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__item\"\u003e\n    \u003cbutton class=\"rw-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003eHow do the neck ties work?\u003c\/button\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__a\" hidden\u003eThe Roma features long crossover neck ties that can be styled in a bow or a simple knot at the nape of the neck. A bow gives a softer, more romantic feel; a knot is cleaner and more minimal.

Viscose satin is exceptionally smooth with a little more give, making it one of the most comfortable and fluid styles in the collection. It drapes beautifully and photographs with a rich, deep lustre.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__item\"\u003e\n    \u003cbutton class=\"rw-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003eHow is the viscose satin different to the standard satin?\u003c\/button\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__a\" hidden\u003eOur standard Roma styles are made from a polyester satin with no stretch. The Black Roma uses a viscose satin which is smoother to the touch, has a little more give, and drapes with a slightly different weight. Both are beautiful — viscose just has a softer, more fluid quality that many customers prefer. Order a swatch to feel the difference in person. Swatches are free, just pay £1.50 postage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__item\"\u003e\n    \u003cbutton class=\"rw-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003eCan I see and feel the fabric before I order?\u003c\/button\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__a\" hidden\u003eYes — and we particularly recommend it for this colourway, as the viscose fabric feels noticeably different to our standard satin.

Black pairs beautifully with white and ivory florals, gold and silver accessories, and bold colour accents. It's particularly striking for evening and candlelit receptions.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__item\"\u003e\n    \u003cbutton class=\"rw-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003eCan I mix and match the Roma Black with other Rewritten styles?\u003c\/button\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__a\" hidden\u003eAbsolutely. The Roma is designed to mix and match with other Rewritten black styles. Pairing the Roma's halterneck silhouette with a strappy style like the Amelia, for example, is a great way to suit different bridesmaids' body types and preferences — and it photographs really well.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__item\"\u003e\n    \u003cbutton class=\"rw-faq__q\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003eHow do I care for the Roma Black dress?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rw-faq__a\" hidden\u003eDry clean only. Use a hand steamer to remove creases — do not iron directly on the satin. As a viscose fabric, it requires more care than our standard polyester satin styles, so dry cleaning is strongly recommended to keep it looking its best. Please note that slight colour variations can occur between dresses due to the dyeing process, so ordering all dresses for your bridal party at the same time from the same batch is recommended.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWant to feel the fabric before you commit?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wearerewritten.com\/products\/lenzing-ecovero-swatch-in-black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOrder a Black Satin fabric swatch\u003c\/a\u003e — swatches are free, you just pay £1.50 postage.
