Drapey Jersey Dress WH401

    Comments about Boden Women Drapey Jersey Dress:

    I was looking for a dress that I could wear during pregnancy, that was also easy to nurse in, and that would fit me when I'm done with babies. This is PERFECT! I will reserve the 5 star rating, because I have not yet washed it, and want to see how well it holds up to being laundered. For reference, usually I am 128lbs, 5'6", 34B-C. But right now, I am 30 weeks pregnant and 140 lbs. I ordered the 8 pet since my legs are shorter, but also one of my best features so I like things not to be too long. (At other stores I am usually a 2/4/6 in dresses.) It looks great standing still, but will have to watch it bending over with the kids, etc. This dress is nice enough to pair with heels & jewelry for a night out, or to throw on with flip flops for the park. It is just such a versatile dress.

      I ordered this in the purple color, which was a lovely jewel tone. Unfortunately, the ruching in the front seemed to draw more attention to my stomach rather than hide it. Pretty and practical dress, just not right for me.

        Comments about Boden Women Drapey Jersey Dress:

        This classic dress is a beautiful addition to my work wardrobe. I am 5 foot, 1 inch tall and 128 lbs., bra size 34A, and since suits never look good on me, I am always looking for dresses that are work-appropriate. The size six petite fits like a glove. This particular design is a little low-cut on its own for work, so I wore it with my cami-bra. For going out and special occasions, it would be fine without the camisole. The dress drapes very nicely and fits comfortably and loosely over hips, thighs, and tummy. Although I worried that it would be too tight in the arms, it stretched to fit throughout the day. I haven't washed the dress yet, so can't speak to how it handles the wash. The clearance price is very reasonable--I wish they still had the blue in stock, because I would love to buy more solids in this style!

        Love this luscious, luxurious dress in deep blue/purpleish, so it pained me to return it because it was too small. Last time I ordered an 8p Boden item I returned it because it was too big. Feeling frustrated at Boden's sizing inconsistencies but I will continue to shop Boden because when I do find something that fits I usually love it. Thank goodness for free shipping and returns.

          I first got this dress in a 2P. I am 5'2" and 105. The 2P fit like a glove but I wondered if after a wash it might look snugger. I tried the 4P and it's the best fit - more comfortable and a little more room in the sleeves, as other have mentioned they are a bit tight. I'll definitely wear this dress out for evenings or daytime events.

                This dress was a little snug on top - not enough to make me return it, but it would be nice to have a little more room. I do appreciate that there is no gaping in the chest, even when I bend down. The lining is nice and the print is very fun.

                  I got this dress on Friday when it arrived in the mail and I wore it that night, the next day, and today to work. I'm obsessed. I get compliments on it nonstop. It's incredibly flattering. It seems durable. The gray with flowers isn't my usual style, but it's not at all overwhelming. I just noticed that they added black in my size...I might have to get that too.

                          Maybe this would look good on someone with a full chest/small bum but it looked awful on me. I'm proportionate on the top and bottom but this mashed down the top and made the bottom look larger than life. I ordered my regular size and a size up and the size up was too big everywhere. I'm returning it. On the plus, the fabric looks nice.
