    This gorgeous dress just arrived today and I am thrilled that I purchased it. I bought the gray color in 6P (USA size) and it fits very well. I am 127 lbs, 5'1", so it is tough to find styles that are not too long. This falls perfectly just above the knee on me. What is most impressive to me is the quality. It is beautifully lined. The material (both inside and out) is soft and quite substantial. It is nice to get a dress that you can tell will last for years to come. The style is updated and chic, but a true classic silhouette. I look forward to wearing this to work and to my sister's bridal shower. I also got the cropped purple cardigan to go with it -- looks very nice together.

      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.

      Beautiful but too big

        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.
