    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!

        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 :)

              This dress has a nice retro look and feel to it. I chose the brown ochre. Fun, fun, fun! This definitely works for work or a night out. Boden has done it again!

                  Can't wait for the weather to warm up enough to wear this! The fit is perfect. I choose the sixties ochre floral. It has a nice retro feel to it. Boden has done it again!

                  fabric is fraying before wearing!

                        I loved the design and colors of this dress so much I bought it in navy, brown and white. I tried 8 and 10 and finally went with 10s. However, I've had to return the navy and white because the fabric seems to be fraying as it hangs in my closet! The brown also, but the design is so cute I'm just hanging onto it to see how long it will last. The fabric has a beautiful texture which seems to be made of threads embroidered throughout, and they come undone in areas of friction. For instance, from trying on and wearing around the house, the seat of the dress and the front bust area have dozens of tiny threads hanging off now. Agh, I wonder if clipping them can save it? Or would that hasten its demise? Boden, what should I do?

                          I bought the green version of this dress and am wearing it to work with a kelley green cardigan. The fitted waist and slightly flared skirt make me look sizes smaller. I have gotten numerous compliments on this dress.

                            This is a very eye-catching dress (I bought in the lovely green shade!)-- I like the thickness of the fabric, and the unusual design. I'm looking forward to wearing it this summer!
