    Great dress! Comfortable and very stylish. Perfect length (got the Long) and I love the sleeves. I would recommend going down one size, however, it has a bit of strech to it. I bought the 10L but had to exchange for 8L for a better fit.
    Love it and wish Boden would come out with some other colors.

        The Chancery Dress in Navy is just what I was looking for. I travel quite often for my job and this dress travels well. It is the perfect dress for work looks great with a cardigan or a short waisted blazer. The neckline adds a little flair and the full skirt adds a little fun! The length is perfect just below the knee without looking dowdy. Another Boden hit that garners many compliments.

          I loved this dress. It is feminine and beautiful. A sweater with a nice print would make it work appropriate. Heels with accessories would make it perfect for a night out.

            Everyone should have a dress like this in their closet. It is flattering and extremely practical. Depending on how you accessorize, this dress is good for any occasion . I envision myself getting a lot of use out of this dress for many years. It will not go out of style.

              This is a very easy dress for getting out the door to work. I purchased the gray, and it is extremely well made, but I am on the fence about the color which is entirely subjective.
              Excellent quality materials and construction. The empire waist sits a touch higher than I am used to, but I am tall and long waisted.
              Heels are a must with this one otherwise you will risk frump.

                This is a beautiful dress. I've ordered two so far and plan on ordering another in navy. I wear this dress for work. The fit is very good and I usually order it in (L) which is the perfect length for work. Whenever I wear it, I get many compliments. It is a very classic style.

                  This dress is amazing. It can be dressed up or down a the cut and style make it appropriate for the either. I bought this in my regular Boden dress size, and though it is a bit tighter in the bodice than other dresses that are similar, I wouldn't go up a size in this. Also, I opted for the long, which make the dress sort of a midi size on me (it falls just a bit longer than the model shot), which I sutprisingly love. I am excited to wear this dress to everything this summer and into fall!

                    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.
