    I wear this to work and then a night out. At work it is comfortable and stylish with kitten heels and at night, add some taller heels, maybe a belt or wrap and it is a beautiful, classic, stylish look. This dress is the perfect pairing of comfort and style.

          I loved this dress so much but it just didn't love me back! The color ( I got the green) was beautiful. The fabric was so nice; non-wrinkling and very substantial.
          It just didn't work for me. I tried it on three times just to be sure. I am 5'3" and wear a Boden 14 so I have a VERY full figure. I think it would be beautiful to wear to a day time wedding and into evening for someone a little taller.
          Sigh! I wear so many things from Boden but this one wasn't "meant to be." Please try it if you have a few less minutes in your hourglass! I think you will love it.

              I love this dress! I am a pear shape and this dress is extremely flattering. The green is very rich and lovely. It is a bit heavy for summer, but I live in northern Wisconsin and it does not get very hot here.

                This dress has a modern, yet classic look. The color (green) of the dress is wonderful and true to the color shown, while the style of the dress is fun. The skirt has a nice flare and the fabric is substantial enough so that the dress hangs well (I also like the pretty fabric that trims the inside). I really love this dress and so did a lot of other people. It was so popular that I was forced to share my most recent catalog with folks unfamiliar with Boden!

                        This is my favorite Boden dress and it looks exactly like pictured in the emerald green. I like the fact it isn't lined as that would just add extra fabric. It has a full skirt but not too much fabric and hangs better than some of the jersey knit dresses. If you arent as short waisted as i am, the empire waist might feel a bit high. I am 5'7" and 130lbs and the size 8R is perfect (i wear a 6 or 8 in Boden). I had considered buying the 8L but am glad i didnt as it doesnt need the extra length and hits just at bottom of the knee on me. I would buy it in other colors in the next sale.

                            Beautiful, flattering dress for the hourglass figure, but I would guess it to be good for most shapes. Fabric has some weight, so it feels as though this dress will last, which is great, since it is a classic style. I bought the navy and plan to love it for a long time as easy and put-together work wear.
