    The color combination is great! The details really add visual interest. The fit is great on an (my) hourglass shape. The belt is lovely and can be worn in the contrasting pattern. I wore it to work and got many compliments!

    My one critique is the that the chest is a bit small and the buttons pull a very little bit (I am well endowed 36D-DD).

    Love it!

        I feel pretty wearing this dress. I washed it at home and it washed exceptionally well, hung to dry, really doesn't need to be ironed. great fabric.
        Fits perfect, except in the arms a little tight. Bought all three colors! I'm glad I did.

          I love this dress. The material is amazing. I washed in my washer on hand wash and hung it up to dry and there are almost no wrinkles in it. The washing softened the material as well, so that it will be even more comfortable than the first time I washed it. I feel smashing in this dress, womanly and very put together. I brought the grey. Only thing that was a problem was I shall have to put a snap to hold one place together so it doesnt' gap. I have hips, I'm built wide, and I know some people said they thought it made them to hippy, but I don't agree. At first I thought so, but then I hung it up a couple days and came back to it and it looks really fine. Love the retro look.

            This is the second dress I got in this style and I love it. I always receive compliments, is a very flattering style and femenine. Could be dress down with flat sandals or dress up. I will continue getting more. It's true to size, but if you don't like it too tight size up.

                This is a very pretty dress--I got it in the blue pattern. The 4 Petite fits me and looks very nice on. But even though it appears to fit well, it feels a little tight across the upper back and I'm not sure if I would be comfortable wearing it throughout the day. I have to think about whether or not I'll keep it.

                This dress is so comfortable - it shows off my waist without being tight and the cotton is just the right weight. I bought this as a Mother's Day gift for myself (it's so June Cleaver, esp. in the grey with pink flowers) and I suspect that it will be my Sunday uniform for the spring and summer. My one wish: pockets!

                  This dress is a great addition to any wardrobe. It's lovely and feminine, but unique. Lightweight material makes it great for summer days, I look forward to wearing it to work this summer. I wear a US size 2 but I find the 4 fit best, there is a belt so you can adjust it a little bit there. I got it on sale too so it was well worth it! I gave it 4 stars because I think it is way too expensive for a cotton dress. I wouldn't have bought it if it weren't 50% off.

                    This dress has a great classic, vintage feel and the navy print is very pretty! I ordered it to wear to an outdoor wedding that I'm attending in May. I'm 5'5'' and 120 lbs. The size 2 fits like it was made for me. Defining my waist and fits perfectly on my slim shoulders. I'll be wearing it with adorable wedge sandals that add a youthful, summery touch!

                      I'm not a dress person, but sometimes you need one. I was hesitant to try this dress because of the floral print (I'm not a flowery person either). But the style is so great, the whole thing really works for me. It's feminine and dressy, but comfortable too. Love it!

                        I love this dress in photos. It's so retro & cute, but it did nothing for me when I put it on. I think I should have ordered pink, instead of the grey which seems drab in person. I'm always an 8 in Boden, but this dress seemed big, and kind of frumpy. I'm sending it back, which is too bad because I was excited for it, and I bought it on sale. I didn't wash it, just tried it on once, so I don't know how it holds up.
