Lingerie and Costumes, Built the Same Way
Roma's catalog covers both lingerie and costumes, and the construction approach doesn't shift between the two. The lingerie line includes structured underwired bodysuits, lace bralette and panty sets, satin chemises, and sheer mesh pieces in coordinating sets. The costume side runs themed styles including nurse, schoolgirl, and holiday looks, all built to the same standard as the lingerie pieces rather than simplified for single use. That consistency is part of why customers return to the brand across both product categories, and why the costume line doesn't feel like a separate product made by a different team.
The Color Choices Are Not Accidental
Roma introduces new seasonal colors each year, and the palette leans toward saturated brights and jewel tones rather than defaulting to the neutrals most lingerie brands anchor around. The year-round offerings include the standard blacks and nudes, but the seasonal additions are where the brand's design sensibility is most visible. The choices feel current without tracking trends so aggressively that they look dated within a season. If you're shopping women's lingerie for something with a more deliberate color story, the seasonal releases are the right place to start comparing.
True to Size, With Exceptions
Roma sizes from small through extra large across most styles, with plus size options available in select pieces. The brand runs true to size in the majority of what it makes, but styles using stretch Chantilly lace or featuring a structured bodice panel can land a size differently. The more significant variable is the gap in fabric composition between the lingerie and costume lines: the two use different construction, and sizing can read differently between them even when you know your Roma size from one side of the catalog. If you're ordering from both the lingerie and costume sections, treat them as separate size references.
