I ordered this according to the measurements in the size chart, but when I received it, it was much too big. I'm new to Boden, so maybe I just need to learn my size and stick to it? I ordered an eight, but I will probably end up re-ordering a 4 because it seemed quite big.

However, the dress is lovely. The colors are beautiful, as are the patterns, and it is very well made.

I LOVE this dress, it is beautiful, comfortable, can look dressy or casual depending on how you accessorize, and it is so flattering! I could just live in it!

One of those dresses that looked great in the model, but not so flatering in reality. I wear 36 D, and took a size 8L for the dress. It felt big all over, specially on the bodice. I chose the color pewter and it looked a bit dull.
Unfortunately this one went home without seeing sunny California.

Nice style, great color (pewter) and design. This is a very flattering dress and comfortable as well. I would have preferred a slightly longer length (just about an inch).

While I am comfort driven and tend to the casual, I still like to dress well. This dress was lovely and it killed me to send it back. Had it in blue and red and loved them both (the red leans a little to coral and was a great color). I have wide shoulders though and am hard to fit - it's me not Boden or this style. I'm sure on most people it would be fine.

I really liked the look of this dress. But when I got it, it didn't look so great on, not on me anyway. It made me look a little like an "old lady." maybe I should've picked a brighter color. I wantedt to like it. It was very comfortable and I could see myself wearing it for any occasion any day of the week. But because it did add any "pop" to my look I had to return it. I think it would be a great dress for someone else though.

I ordered this in a 4 (red) and a 6 (blue) because I was unsure of the sizing due to other reviews. I'm 5'5" 120 lbs and usually wear a Boden 6. The 4 fit perfectly - fitted but not too tight. The skirt is just full enough to give the dress a little swing without being too full. The 6 seemed disproportionately large in the bodice as compared to the 4. I love both colors - maybe I'll exchange the blue for a smaller size rather than return it!

Super cute! I wore it to school last week and got lots of compliments. I love this dress. The arms were a little snug, but overall, it's great.

I ordered this dress in my usual size 6 and didn't find the top part too big. Because I teach, I need enough room in the shoulders to reach up and write on a whiteboard. Only rarely do I find enough shoulder room in Boden dresses, and this one was OK. I'm not thrilled with the dull color choices but very much like the different print on bodice and skirt.

This is a very cute design. After reading other reviews, I went down a size and it fits perfectly. I chose the blue and it is a very pretty color. I am looking forward to wearing this dress this summer, and will wear for casual work days and out with friends. I am glad I decided to get this one, I was pleasantly surprised!
