I ordered this in a Petite size 8 because I am short-waisted and high-hipped. My height is 5'4". Many people have remarked on this dress while I have been wearing it. It is a very feminine style. I feel slightly Downton Abbey when I wear it but I don't think Lady Mary had access to such easy-care fabrics.

This dress fits comfortably and I get lots of compliments. Good work to play outfit

I ordered this in the green and loved it. It is blouse-y up top and very fitted in the waist, but that works well with my body. It feels vintage, yet bright. When the navy version went on sale, I ordered one of those....and this was not so great. Something was horribley wrong with the seams in the lower part. It hitched up at the weirdest place and looked cheap even though the color and fabric are lovely. Maybe this is a fluke, but I've had this experience before with Boden: the same style in different colors can be different in cut/quality.

It's possible I give the navy another try and that one item was just a glitch, not indictive of all the navy tea dresses.

This dress is absolutely beautiful. The weird pleating in the skirt just didn't work for me. If the pleats weren't there, this would have been my favorite dress. I was very sad to send it back.

I love the feminine design of this dress. I purchased the polka dot pattern and it is perfect for spring/summer: lightweight and super comfortable. I am 5'6" and about 135 lbs. The 8 fit nicely. Flattering around the waist. Great purchase for me!

This dress is sheer and lightweight, but still dressy enough to wear with heels to the office or flats pretty much anywhere. Great for dressing up in the hot weather!

I needed a cute dress for work that was stylish but not sexy, and this dress fits the bill. The only thing I would change is to give the fabric more flexibility in the chest area; it's a little constricting and I wish it had more give. Other than that, I love it.

I wanted to love this dress, but it just didn't work. The waist hit above the natural waist -- and then had odd blousely pouffs on the sides. Had to return it.

Love this dress - fits perfectly - nice, nipped in waist, bit of a a flowy top but the waist really keeps it looking cute. Perfect length, just above the knee. Great dress than can be dressed up for work or down for a Sunday afternoon.

This was one of the summer dresses I was eyeing for a while and got when it went on sale. Got the navy in my usual Boden 10. The fabric and color were nice, I especially liked the scallop design around the buttons. The skirt portion fit fine and in fact flattering. But the top was way too blousy. I would have to be at least a DD to fill this one out. Disappointed in this bad design (huge on top and fit in the bottom). I now have an ample collection of size 10 Boden dresses but this one will not be one of them. Returned.
