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!

This dress is just great. I am presenting a workshop and I HATE suits. I wanted a dress that looked good and was really comfortable. This is the dress.

Look put-together without much effort! The dress fits well, looks good, and the green color is fun. Light- to medium-weight material might be too heavy for high summer, but it will work great in the spring and fall.

I used the sizing chart to pick my size as I haven't purchased a dress from Boden before. It fits as anticipated although I ordered a tall size as I didn't want it above my knee and its a little longer than I expected. I think that was mostly due to my poor accuracy with my measurements. It's very well made and the jade color is just as pictured. I hope to wear it for a party and dancing. It can be dressed up or down. Very nice looking. I have a curvy figure and this is not the optimal style for me, but it's so pretty I'm going to keep it and just shorten the skirt a bit.
