This dress has a great design, but when I received it I wasn't sure how often I'd actually wear it. For me, it was a little short for work because of the design of the skirt, and it wasn't casual enough for me to throw on as a quick and easy outfit on the weekend. The 8P fit well in the top/body. I'm 5ft, 143 lbs.

This will be my go-to white summer dress. I love the way the pique fabric fits- very figure flattering. The pockets are a nice detail, too. This dress is easy to wear casually or formally and I will definitely get lots of use out of it.

This is an eye-catching pattern-- in keeping with the style Boden is known for-- The material is substantial and the weave added complexity to the 2 color palette. But what really, really, makes this dress a cut about the rest-- is that it is absolute effortless beauty! It doesn't look as though you are trying really hard to look great or get attention-- it just quietly wows! and does so comfortably. It hits all the right spots and is incredibly flattering to my hour-glass curves. Did I tell you I love this dress? I love how I look in other peoples' eyes-- It's a keeper Boden!!

Thanks for making it so easy to be professional and anything but boring :)

THIS IS A WONDERFUL FRESH DRESS FOR THE SUMMER. GREAT DESIGN, NICE FABRIC WITH TEXTURE, FITS TRUE TO SIZE. I GOT THE WHITE ONE AND IT IS SO VERSATILE, YOU CAN DRESS IT UP WITH A COLORFUL SCARF FOR A JUVENILE LOOK, OR WEAR A LONG PEARL NECKLACE FOR A MORE SOPHISTICATED APPEARANCE.

I love this dress and will keep it but the princess shaping is too high. I will have to take it in on the front of the dress and that will be hard to do with the lining. It also needs a smidge taken in on the sides of the empire waist.
It is very comfortable and looks cute but I need for it to be a bit more fitted to look just right.

This dress was backordered by the time I made up my mind about the color and I almost cancelled -- so glad that I didn't! Love the fit, the fabric and the color; I anticipate wearing it often to work, church and luncheons. Another great Boden dress for my collection!

The Retro Pocket Dress has got total versatility. I love it so much I bought another for my twin sister!

I love, love, love this dress. The fit is so flattering--fitted without being too tight. The material is a really nice quality. I can't wait to wear it for a family event in Chicago in a couple of weeks. My only complaint is that I wish they had more solid color options. Hope Boden expands their color choices for this dress next year!

I love this dress but back it goes. I have 7 Boden dresses and 23 skirts, all in the same size, and all fit perfectly (some are actually quite loose)
This one is teeny tiny! I couldn't even zip up the back and the skirt
was way above my knees. So I am returning it and on the chance
that it was mismarked, I am ordering another in the same size and
one in a size larger. When I looked at it I thought it looked awfully
small compared to what I am used to from Boden.

I purchased the brown/white combo and paired it with yellow canvas expadrille wedges for "pop of color"; received lots of compliments. I am 5' 6" and fuller on top, so I usually order the "L" in order for the empire waist to hit at the right spot - and this does just that! I ususally have a hard time with dresses for that reason...not with Boden :)
