    First time reviewer, because how could I not squeal about this dream of a dress?

    The cut is exceptional. I did order a size down (as per other reviewers' advice) and it fits like it was custom cut for me.

    I am 5'4" and it swirls gracefully below the knee. (I am usually 6L, got this in 4L)

    Cannot say enough about how much I love this.

    Can definitely be a dressy casual dress or a bona fide dressy dress.

    A little scarf around the neck a la Audrey in Roman Holiday...perfection.

      I bought this dress for a trip to Italy. It is beautiful (green).
      I almost sent the dress back a few different times because I thought the VERY full skirt made me look huge through the hips. Finally, I got it altered and reduced the size of the skirt and it is perfect.

        This dress is so flattering and comfortable. I was actually able to size down as I am smaller on top than the bottom. This style is perfect for curvy gals and definitely flatters a smaller waist. I am so impressed with the option for long and the nice proportion it provides. I am 5'10" and have a tough time with proportionate length....Boden, you have a new, very loyal fan!

          I have not yet washed this dress, but it seems like it will wash up very nicely. This dress is so well made...very thick fabric, with a little bit of stretch. I am 5'2, 140 lbs. and 32C/D. The 8 fit me perfectly. This is one of my favorite things I have ordered from Boden. This will never go out of style!

            I bought this dress in black, loved it and quickly followed the black with the fantastic green. My only regret is Boden was out of stock in the long in my size, which I prefer, however the regular works. This dress fits well, looks great, is super comfy, and I hope Boden makes iterations of it for years to come. Maybe a lovely stripe?

              The color is lovely and great for summer. The design is similar to several Boden dresses and tops in that the zipper pull on the side zipper irritates the inner arm. I want to keep this dress for style and fit (5"4", size 10L, fitted, nice length) but the zipper bugs me, so we'll see.

                Love the dress, I wear it to church and occasionally to parties. It's great on its own with some colorful shoes ( I got it in black) it also does well with accessories. It is SO comfortable. The material is nice and heavy. I'm sure it will wear well.

                The color is lovely. I wish I had sized down. It's too big on me. Also, I wish the neckline were a little lower cut. And I think I have to admit that tea length dresses just do not look good on petite women.

                  I love this dress! It's comfortable and fits really well. I love the length - just below knee length - and the full skirt. It has a slightly retro feel. The arms are a tiny bit small, but the rest of the dress is A+!
