    I really enjoy this dress. I am a true skirt and dress kind of girl. To work, I wear this cute dress with a lilac cardigan and silver ballet slippers. If I am going out after work, I lose the cardigan and wear a shiny beady necklace that complements the neckline and a fun bracelet.

    I ordered the 12L and had to hem it about an inch. I am not a skinny girl but this dress is very flattering on me.

      The material, color and design are beautiful and simple, but the sizes of Boden's dresses are all off. I'm a pretty solid size 8 (6 ft, 140 lbs) and everything I've ordered in an 8 has been HUGE on me. I returned this dress for a 6L, which I hope works!

      Gorgeous Dress...Just Not For Me

        This is a gorgeous dress, it just doesn't work for my body type. I look like a big, giant square. I tend to be heavier in my stomach, and this accents that. I normally wear an 8 in Boden dresses, but if I were to consider keeping this, I would definitely need to try a 10. I don't plan to exchange it, though, because I'm not convinced a larger size would look any better. For the right body type, this is an absolutely gorgeous dress.

              I was accidently shipped the wrong size, but it turned out for the best as this dress was not what I'd thought it would be. I ordered the cram color and the pink flowers are VERY pink--far pinker than I'd imagined. I'd planned to wear it to an academic conference in Asia with a sweater or jacket, but it was a bit too much like a garden party dress to fit the conference venue. It did seem well made, and the darker color might be better. But as a women, wearing pink a dress with pink flowery things to a professional conference would seem to undermine being taken seriously. So it went back. The quality looked good, though...and I may oder the darker one down the line.

              This was a near miss, due to odd sizing. HUGE on top, and sizing down wold have made it too small everywhere else. Too bad. A great design.

                Great dress -- another Boden classic! It fits very well (and I often have difficulty with Boden shifts... they fit on the bottom but not the top, or vice versa) and the navy with ivory embroidery is beautiful.

                  This is a really cute dress. The only thing is I took a chance and ordered a petite size since they were out of my regular size. I often wear petites in pants but not dresses, so I was a bit nervous it would be too small. I actually would prefer it just a bit tighter in the top area, but it still looks fine, so I'm keeping it. I haven't worn it yet but I do love the look...very stylish and comfortable.

                  This dress looks lovely on the hanger but didn't fit me well. The fabric and detailing are quite nice. I am 5'9" about 145 lbs, athletic build - the dress hung strangely and was rather wide through the torso. This may be better suited for someone a little curvier. Unfortunately, doesn't work for me so it's going back.

                    Loved this dress so much, but had to send it back because it was too big. I have only bought Boden shirts before and the best fit for me is size 12. So, I bought the dress in a 12L (I am 6'), but it was just too big, I felt like I was swimming in material (around bust and waist - length was perfect). BUT, the dress is gorgeous - in the right size it would have been stunning.
