This is a perfect Summer dress to just throw on and dash out!! Love the grey color. May have to order the pink! I was a little worried about the reviews saying it looked maternity-ish due to the front darts, but I find that they lay nicely and add a little something. Be super cute with flip flops or wedges for a casual night in or out!!

I loved the dress on the model. The cut was not for me. I'm 5'6 and a size 8. I ordered the size 8. I'm larger on top so I was worried it would be too small, but it was very roomy on top. It made me look even larger. Not a good cut for someone with curves. I loved the fabric and would probably be cute on someone a little less curvy. I returned the dress.

This dress is great and the darts are forgiving. It is unlined so a simple casual dress. Great color and great design, my favorite things about Boden!

dress fits perfectly. and is very flattering for curves. only issue is stubborn zipper where the seem on the side is. this often happens with side-seem dresses/tops on me. if that's true for you, it will be an issue with this dress. if you can struggle through that, it's a great dress. blue color will look great with a tan.

I loved the photo of this dress. The blue is super cute, and as with all Boden products, well made. The dress runs true to size and is super comfy on. Unfortunately, the waist is set a little too high on my figure to be combined with large pleats. It looked as if I was pregnant again. I think if the waist was just a couple inches lower it would've worked.

This is a cute, casual dress. Would be great for a hot, balmy day. I purchased the turquoise shade and it is a pretty color. However, I was expecting the dress to be a little more fitted through the bodice. A great dress otherwise.

I really loved this dress. Perfect weight for summer and color was wonderful. Unfortunately the placement of the waistband combined with pleats is just not flattering on anyone not currently expecting. Darn. I need a good go to summer dress. What else you got for me Johnnie???

I like it a lot, but I'm waiting for another size, so I can't say for sure yet whether or not it's a winner. I think it's very comfortable, easy to pop on and go, and I love the neckline, which is not too low and very flattering. No zipper issues on the one I received. I usually wear an 8 or 10 in Boden. I ordered the 10L, but it's too big in general, so I've reordered an 8L. I prefer color, but I chose pewter only because it's a "safe" and versatile color and in case the fabric is thin, as I refuse to wear an additional layer in the summer. Now that I've tried the style, I've ordered the pink in hopes it won't be too thin. The top is roomy as others have mentioned. There is generous coverage but not baggy on me at all, and I found it to be enhancing (36C). I'm short (5'3"), but I ordered the Long, thinking it might offset any bubble effect below the waist that other reviewers have mentioned and I do like it in the longer length. The drape is fine and the "poof" does exist a little, but it's minimal and probably intended to disguise some tummy surplus. If you're very thin and slim, this dress may create an unwanted poof, but for those of us who have our own poof issue, I think the pleats are helpful.

Comfortable and stylish, this dress is perfect for hanging out with your friends whether on a patio or in a backyard and looking fabulous at the same time.

Because of the fitted cut of the dress, it does run a little small. I recommend going up a size, especially if you have an ample bust.

I bought one, then loved it so much I bought another in a second color -- its a practical yet sexy lightweight dress for Spring/Summer, flattering even on a short and curvy figure.
