    Comments about Boden Women Velvet Party Dress:

    I bought this dress in a panic when I needed a dress for a special dinner. It arrived the day beforehand and, I am so happy to report, fit like a glove and felt like a dream. The color is rich and the velvet is soft and lush. I love the neckline, the waistline and the length (just above my knee - perfect.) I love this dress and look forward to wearing it again!

          Comments about Boden Women Velvet Party Dress:

          I ordered the Petrol color in this dress, and it's a rich bluish teal that seems like it would work across the seasons for a variety of special occasions. The size 6 fit me closely enough that it was a bit of a struggle to get on, but was slimming without being constricting once I managed to get into it. There's a kick-pleat in the back for ease of movement. One drawback is the way the neckline is cut: Bra straps started peeking out after a while and I kept having to adjust them. For reference, I'm 5'6", 34-28-37, and the dress length hit just above the knee.

            I was surprised after reading the poor review that it was such a great fit. I'm a typical 5'5" size 6 and it fit great. I thought it was very flattering and classy. I was hoping for the green, but they were sold out so I have the navy and it's a great color as well. The material is a little thinner than some velvet - not as plush as other velvet dresses I've had.

              Boden does it again, a beautiful flattering classic dress that's actually comfortable. Purchased in the purple color for the holidays, but am sure to wear it all winter long. Fits true to size and does not require one to wear a strapless bra.

                Beautiful dress but I had to return because it gapped heavily underneath the arms. Otherwise the dress fit me perfectly.

                  This dress fits perfectly and accentuates the waist! The material is soft and comfortable. The velvet is perfect for winter parties. The muted jewel tone color brings out color in my face and eyes while being classy. I am looking forward to wearing this beauty during the holidays!
