I love the look of this dress but it fit weird. The top part was too short so it cuts your body in a weird place. I can't explain it. I was so sad it didn't fit me well because I do love the look of it.

    My favorite Boden dress

      I have purchased about 12 dresses from Boden over the past 3 years and this is my favorite by far! I purchased the navy. I got so many compliments the first day I wore it. I am busty (36G) with a small waist and very curvy hips. (size 14/16, 5 foot 8 inches tall) I ordered this dress in a 16L and it fits perfectly. Since the skirt part is striped, I decided to go with the larger size. It is slightly loose in a flattering way. The two pleats add ease and break up the stripes so that they do not add width to the hips. Even though I am busty, the waist hits in the right spot and the orange set-in waist is very flattering. This dress is so unique- the right combination of vintage and modern. I hope Boden makes more dresses in this pattern and material!

        I love this dress, it is a wonderful combination of professional with a bit of whimsy. Nice neckline and length for work, but is cool enough to wear out and about or to a shower or daytime party. Fits TTS, I'm 5'4 114# for reference. Seems like it will wear well, think durable fabric that can wrinkle if you try hard but has a nice shape to it.

        Unflattering If Busty

          Best Uses

            Wanted to love this, but it's not flattering if you have a bust. The fabric is sort of shiny, which lends it a cheap polyester feel, add the collar and it feels a bit like a uniform, if you're job is being Minnie Mouse.

              I got this dress in the grey/yellow combo and waited for it for a long time! I really do like it alot, super flattering, nice quality fabric and great fit. I am 120 lbs and 5'3 and got the 2 and it fits great. a 4 may have been ok as the waist is slightly high but I am short waisted so it is great. Very, very cute.. cute with navy or nude patent heels. I am 35.

                LOVED it in the catalog. Waited forever for it to arrive. It's adorable and different than what everyone else is wearing. Definately a signature piece. Got the 6L, as I fluctuate between a 6 and 8, 5'8" between 138 and 142 pounds, heavier on the bottom than the top. It fits great and hides the flaws.

                This dress was adorable and smart-looking, but not on me. The 6R fit fine, but the solid navy top with Peter Pan collar and cap sleeves made me appear very busty (34C), and the horizontal stripes coupled with the pleats made me look much bigger on bottom than I'd like! So sorry to send it back.

                As a tallish, thin person, this dress did not accentuate any of my attributes. I looked frumpy.
