      Cute dress! And very versatile, even for a 20-something to where this summer. Ordered the 15-16y but bodice was very wide for my classic pear shape. Will try for the 13-14y, but fear it will be too short for this long-ago-14-year-old. Such a cute, comfy dress, though; worth trying to exchange.

      cute dress with a couple issues

            This dress fit my daughter, but just barely, so we are considering ordering a size up. (This is just my ordering mistake-- it seems true to size, overall). It is a cute dress, but too short-- an inch or two longer would be much better. Also, even with the lining, her underwear showed through. I guess I can shop for nude underwear for her, but most kids' underwear just comes in white or colors.

              My 11 year old daughter wanted a special dress for an evening at the theater with school friends and other summer events. She looks absolutely gorgeous in the dark blue color of this dress. It is stylish, comfortable and completely age appropriate. I have rarely seen her look prettier. Something she will wear time and again for those special occasions. I would highly recommend it.

                gorgeous fabric, great classic style but too gapey around the neck coupled with being a bit too short-- like it was two different sizes fused together. bummer!

                    My picky 12 year old daughter likes this dress so I couldn't be happier. My girl is 5'3 and 125 pounds. I purchased size 15/16 and it fits well.

                        My nearly 12 year old daughter struggles constantly trying to find clothes without elastic, sequins, slogans, scratchy lace, or ill-fitting seams. This dress pleased both of us. The fabric is lovely, the lining is soft cotton, the cut is modest enough for church, recitals, graduations, etc., and the design is unique, classic, and well made.

                            I love this dress! I am actually 28 and dont usually order from the JohnieB section, but fell in love with this dress! The measurments seemed to match and the price was great! The dress is adorable. It will be perfect for lots of occasions this summer. I have already paired it with different colored skinny belts and it really looks cute. You could really dress this up or down. Good dress Boden!!

                                This dress is waaaay cuter even in person! I love the arm design on my super thin daughter. After trying several sleeveless styles that did not look good, I splurged on this dress! Worth every penny! Im going to use a ribbon for a belt and a dash of color. So cute. Runs slightly small (short).
