        This dress looked good but when I received it it felt very bulky on me. :( I returned it.

          So glad Boden carries Petits sizes! This dress was true to size, but could have been about an inch longer to make it more work appropriate. With tall boots and opaque tights, it makes a great church or dressy casual outfit. Love the pattern and colors. The corduroy is soft and a perfect weight for winter, even in Wisconsin! This was my first Boden purchase, and other than a longer delivery time (vs. US based businesses), I am very, very pleased with my shopping experience.

            Boden sent the wrong color (ordered Fig print) but the Purple/Indigo they sent was really beautiful and so I kept it. The dress fits great and I got tons of compliments. I bought it for end of the season but will look forward to fall to wear it again! Wearing it with Olive/khaki leggings and suede tan boots.

                A flattering dress perfect for work or going out to dinner in the evenings. Based on other reviews I ordered one size smaller than my usual size, and it fits perfectly. The petrol bud background color is a little darker blue than it appears online, but still a very cute print and I get compliments every time I wear it.

                  Material is thick enoght to be warm, but soft enough to move with you. Good structure & seems it would be very durable. Unfortunately I don't get one, they don't have my size. Thought I got the right one, but they run a little big, so by the time I figured it out, there were no more in my size left.
                  May look at it one more time to see if I can take it in, but it's sewn so well, I'm not sure I want to.

                    I fell in love with this dress from the first time i saw it, but waited for it to go on sale before buying. I read all the reviews..some said it ran big on top, and I agree I usually wear a US 10 in Boden dresses, but being a 36D, I was actually hoping for more room on the top. The dress is slimmer in fit than I thought it would be..a pleasant surprise, as it doesn't look at all boxy. A corderoy dress like this could look frumpy, but Boden has made it stylish as well as comfortable !

                    Having a lot of trouble with Boden's sizing. I have clothes from this line ranging from 4-8. Originally ordered this in a 8 (because I have another size 8 Boden dress that fits perfectly), and it was ENORMOUS on me. Exchanged it for a 6Petite, and it fit better but still not great. Going to keep it because it's a cute print, unique and fun dress.

                    Comments about Boden Women Placket Cord Dress:

                    I first bought this in petrol bud size 4R, was concerned the print might be too cutesy for my age, but ended up really liking it. The fit was shaped but not body hugging, very comfy and flattering. I prefer a longer length to cover my knees so I returned it and ordered 4L in petrol and sweet pea. The latter fit the same with perfect length, it's a great color and can be dressed up with a patterned scarf, heels or boots. Would only wear a shirt under it if sleeves are not longer than dress sleeves, it looks strange to have a narrow sleeve coming our of the wide, gathered 3/4 dress sleeve. Would prefer the sleeves less wide and full length, but turning the cuff up makes it look a bit slimmer. The petrol was unexpectedly snugger all over and pulls a bit across my hips. I am disappointed but undecided about returning it b/c I really like the print. It's all cotton, so there is hope it may stretch a bit. It wrinkles after washing but nothing my steamer can't handle. Overall it's a great style and versatile enough for the office or casual going-out wear. I love that kind of flexibility!

                      I love this style and have bought both a size 12 and a size 14--I wanted to wear a turtleneck under one when it is very cold as I have to go out for recess everyday. I love them both.
