I'm so sorry that I didn't like this dress!!!!! I love Boden clothes, but this missed the mark. The pockets pouffed out and the pleats at the waist make the front stick out and add pounds that aren't there. I was bummed because I waited a long time to get this dress and it looked so cute online and in the catalog. Sorry!

    I was really exited about this dress, but I am sending it back. It runs big on top, so unless you're very well endowed it is likely it won't work for you. Nice design, pretty red tone. I might try for a smaller size, if they have it. The fabric is a little clingy, so it was already wrinkled when I got it.

      At first I wasn't so sure I was going to like this dress, but I put it on for a (weekend) day of running errands with my two young daughters, and I loved it by the end of the day. It is very comfortable, yet makes me feel put together at the same time. So...I decided to order another. I ordered the light green willow originally and really like the color and print. Stock was very low when I went back, but did luck out and got the gray version of that print. Others have mentioned that it fits their larger busts; I am not so fully figured (I usually wear a US size 4 in Boden and am an A cup) and yet it is still flattering. The belly does flow out a little, but not in a distracting way. Thanks Boden!

      Flattering, comfortable summer dress

            I bought the green patterned dress and I love it! I bought the 8L and the 10R (no 10L was available), not knowing which would fit better and ended up with the 8L. I was worried about length based on other reviews, but the length on the 10R was fine. I have been wearing mostly size 10 from Boden, but a couple of things have been an 8, including this dress. So, the dress may run a little bit big. I love, love the pockets and the scoop neckline. It is very flattering and could be dressed up, if needed. I will probably wear it mostly with flip flops. Great summer dress!

                I wear it with wedges and a cardigan to work on Casual Friday, and with flip-flops to baseball games. It's comfortable enough for Saturday morning, but much more stylish than my usual shorts and tee shirt. The fit is roomy -- I might go a size down if I bought another. I've gotten lots of compliments!

                  I was a little worried about how this dress would fit because I usually border between sizes 4 and 6 (5'4", 109 lbs, 32D). This dress fit perfect. I wore it to work for the 1st time today and received lots of compliments. It is a beautiful coral color and very, very soft. I plan on wearing it a lot this summer!

                    I really like the fabric of this dress. I got it in green and it is a nice weight and color. I also love the pockets. I am short and a bit busty and the neckline feels way too low, which has happended to me before with Boden dresses. I will get it altered. It also has a gathering at the waist that nicely hides my tummy, but some people may not like that look.

                      I wore this dress to the open-market vegetable market the other day and 2 people told me how great it looks! Then I was browsing in a clothing store and a sales person told me how great it looks. I live in the humid South, and this dress is perfect in the hot summer weather. I look forward to adding a t-shirt under it and wearing it with boots in the fall. This dress is a very flattering cut.

                      Too loose in the bust. Perhaps if the buyer has a larger bust it will fit better!
