    Fits perfectly! The waist actually hits where it is supposed to which is not always the case with dresses with defined waistlines. Often they are much too high-waisted. Material is high quality and drapes nicely. Very pretty and feminine.

      Comments about Boden Women Florence Dress:

      This dress is beautiful and just what I needed for a spring wedding. The gray color was darker than it appeared online, but I ended up liking it more! I love the 3/4 length sleeves. Overall length was perfect on me, just at the knee. The skirt volume was very flattering; not overly flared and not restrictive.

      For reference, I'm about 5'6" 130 lbs 34A and typically a size 2 or 4. The 2 was tight in the shoulders and a bit snug overall, so I kept the 4, but the only drawback was that the top of the dress gaped if I leaned over or even slouched my shoulders forward more than a little bit. I'm used to having some extra "room" on top but the fabric seemed quite excessive...I remedied this with a cropped jacket. I may see about getting the dress tailored in the future.

      All in all, very comfortable and it was a joy to wear!

        Great dress! It's very pretty and perfect for Spring. I love a longer sleeve for work, but it's nice and light.

          I debated about what size to get - 4 or 6 - and read several of the other reviews. I was afraid the 4 would be too snug, especially with a side zipper, but it fit just right! I bought the gray dress, and while it's a little darker than the online picture, it's great and can be paired with a lighter-colored cardigan. Love the 40s style of the dress!

                This dress makes me feel gorgeous! I ordered the red, and the color and cut could not be more flattering. It fits very true to size, as I've found all Boden dresses do. This is my boyfriend's new favorite outfit on me.

                  I got the dress in navy blue. Love the design and colors. I am 5'5" and 130 lbs, quite flat at the top and size 8 fits great. The dress comes to my knees and looks perfect. It would not look good if it was any other way. I am sure that this dress will get a lot of use as it is very comfortable and can be worn for many occasions, including work.

                    My boyfriend LOVES this dress. I feel straight out of Roman Holiday. The neckline is flattering and the tie makes it fitted. It's a very happy dress and it makes me want to skip down the street.
