Received the dress, took it out of the bag, ironed it, wore it out the door. The compliments have not stopped coming. Wore with flats for Audrey Hepburn look, and added chunky necklace. Smoothed my bumps and flattered my curves.Perfect!

This dress is elegant, flattering, and washable. I'm 5'10" and the tall hits just below the knee (perfect length). I ordered one size up from my usual size, and I'm glad I did because the bust seemed a little small. I'm back to order another in a different color, and would love to have this dress in every color (Boden, please consider offering it in red the next time you make a similar dress).

I purchased this dress in green, and am SO glad I did. I was initially concerned about the higher price point, but let me tell you - it is absolutely worth it. The design is flawless; it fits perfectly. Moreover, the fact that it is machine washable blows my mind.

It is one of those stand-out dresses: Although it has many simple elements to it, the details (pleated neckline, large, "swishy" skirt) make it a total gem... Wear it and you'll be sure to get several compliments. I plan on wearing it mainly in business casual settings, but could also see myself wearing it for some special occasions as well.

Definitely one of my all-time top 3 Boden purchases!

Ordered in green and is a true bright Irish green. Fit is very flattering (I am petite but on the curvy side). At 5'2" the 6R does fall just below the knee as pictured. The fabric has a bit of stretch to it which makes it quite comfortable. It is not lined so perhaps not of the same quality as other Boden pieces, but then also more lightweight to wear through the summer. Perfect for my work.

This is a beautiful dress. The pleats on the bodice are well made and do not stand "up" on a medium-large chest. They actually enhance.

The fabric, as with all Boden offerings, is of a soft hand, and drapes well - even though thick like ponte.

The skirt flares and drapes, although is terribly long and needs hemming...to be at mid to lower knee.

What a great tribute to Dior's The New Dress of the 1950s...but in a modern way. Great shoes, statement necklace and bracelet .. and you're ready for the boardroom (maybe with a jacket or jumper) and the dining room.

How about one in a print for fall, Boden? Or more colors? Long sleeved (not 3/4 please) for all?

More!

I just received this and couldn't wait to wear it to a recent event. The compliments were flying left and right, I couldn't dodge them!!

Color is fabulous, material is thick enough to hide my body's imperfections yet thin enough to be fab for summer

it is a perfect dress, and that green says WOW :)

Love this dress. I bought it to wear for an event and it didn't get here in time but I like it so much I am going to keep it!

I love the green! After reading some of the other reviews, I was very excited about the empire waist. However, the empire was not as structured as I hoped it would be. I paired it with a skinny, patent leather belt and it makes the skirt even more full! I can't wait to wear it to my friend's wedding rehearsal.

Looking at the pictures, this dress is perfect for me. I'm 5'8", with a full bust and pear/ hourglass shape. In practice, the dress fit in the shoulders and bust, but the waist was SEVERAL inches too big. I expected a fit and flare style, but it looked like a sack on me. I could have had it altered, but for the cost of the dress, it was a return.

This dress is classic, fits well, & is comfortable. It doesn't get much better than that!
