      Absolutely love this dress. I purchased it in the Navy, and the fabric is more like a linen. It looks great on. I am 5'6", 138 lbs, 34DD and I ordered a size 8R and it fit great. You can easily dress this up for special ocasions or for work. Great dress!

            I loved this dress so much I purchased it in all three colors! It's the perfect dress for work - polished, slimming, and not too revealing. I bought the navy in 10R and the gray and red in a 10L and both fit great.

            This dress is so well made and flattering. I ordered the"red" which is more of a poppy color. It is simple in its lines and elegant!Got a size larger because of the other reviews(34D) and fits very well.

            Easy and Versatile Dress

              I purchased a Navy size 6, but returned it for a Pewter size 4, and am very happy with my choice. The slubby fabric in navy looked like denim to me, which was not at all what I had in mind. The smaller size was definitely better, too, since the A-line shape skims your body, and is not form-fitting. (For reference, I am 5'10", 140 lbs, and a 34A.) My only regret is that I didn't get the 4L since this little number is definitely short! Still, I think I can get away with it, so am keeping it. Easy little dress to throw on for church, work, a day running errands, etc. The only problem is that it really wrinkles up when you sit in for an extended period of time, but that is to be expected with linen.

                  I bought this dress for a wedding rehearsal and I couldn't be happier. I had a baby 7 months ago and, while I'm also down to by pre-baby weight, I still need to tone my midsection. This dress is very flattering. I'm 5'6", 140 lbs and I ordered a size 8. It has plenty of wiggle room.

                    Great cut/fit. Love the color and fabric AND pockets! Although I am glad I read reviews and purchased the 10L even though I am 5"5.

                      usually wear sz 4 so i purchased the sz 2r based on many reviews saying to size down. A mistake. the dress is tight around my butt, fits ok on top half. i have hourglass shape btw. Hoping they restock so i can try the 4. I havent had much luck with Boden dresses but i really love the more tailored look of this. this dress is right up my alley. the reg is a wee shorter than i would have thought considering i am 5'2. it hits a couple inches above the knee
