Contour Colourblock Dress BH054
Not available

The body contouring trend uses construction and colour to create styles that emphasise the vertical lines of the garment.

      Comments about Boden Women Contour Colourblock Dress:

      I bought this dress based on other reviews and was very dissapointed. The dress looked worn and old (I bought in the Loganberry color). It came very wrinkled as well. The fit was ok and I liked the feel of the fabric, but i could not justify the spend even with the discount. It also looked odd at the chest (average bust). I wanted to keep it, but decided against it.... :(

      Comments about Boden Women Contour Colourblock Dress:

      Dress seemed oversized. I ordered the 10R which I usually wear in Boden. This dress was not fitted as they tend to be. It seemed to be made for someone with a thinner straighter figure, I have a curvy shape. Colors seemed dull. Dress went back.

        Another great dress by Boden and this one is in my favorite color too. The fabric is the perfect weight, the dress is lines and is, for me, perfectly proportioned.

        I got several compliments the first day I wore it.

          Comments about Boden Women Contour Colourblock Dress:

          The material this is made from is absolutely gorgeous. The texture is top-notch and the colors are beautiful.

          I'm somewhere between a size 10 and a 12. I'm an apple figure, with big arms and a big tummy and skinny legs. I ordered the 12 and it fits loosely and comfortably in the arms (which is not always a given for me, but is part of why I love Boden). The neckline is very pretty and the overall length is good. It's large around my waist and hips - maybe a tiny bit more structure would help this, if there was a way to keep true to the tunic-type style.

          My only debate right now is in how to style this. It doesn't feel right with riding boots - so maybe just classic tights and heels? I feel as though this needs to be belted to give me any kind of shape, so I'm trying to put something together that will not cheapen the dress, which is beautiful.

                I really wanted to love this dress but there was a bit too much fabric in the bust and a little too low cut for me.

                  Comments about Boden Women Contour Colourblock Dress:

                  This is a very versatile dress and is a perfect fit without seeming too snug anywhere. I am petite (5.1) and about 115 lbs and usually am a size 4. I ordered this dress in 4 and it is a good match.

                  When I took it out of the hanger it was a bit wrinkled but nothing that cannot be remedied.

                  It looks wonderfully tailored. It is classy without looking too prim. That is why it can be worn to work or for an evening out. I have a few Boden dresses and skirts but this one wins the prize for all-round comfort and style.

                    Loved the look of this dress - it did not come in long which I needed (am 6'2 and mostly legs). Could not resist giving it a try anyway. Fit and style otherwise were great!

                      This is a very clean lined dress. I have the size 2. I like the plum color as opposed to black, a little unexpected. I am pear shaped and the bottom cut gives enough room for my hips and thighs unlike other Boden dresses sometimes. I will feel very grown up when I wear it. It is a statement dress without glitz; the magic is in the design. It did wrinkle a bit across my thighs btw...

                        I wanted to love this dress but it didn't work for my shape. I am 5'5" 145lbs with no waist (straight up and down). The size 10 shape fit well in the chest and waist but it was too big in the hips. I think it would be lovely on someone with a pear shape.
