          Great lightweight summer shirt. Good for work or a casual weekend. Love the polka-dots! A little sheer, requires a cami underneath

            Really practical, cute shirt. The one drawback to the more sheer version (with the polka dots/spots) is that the fabric is a bit itchy. I have this shirt in a number of fabrics/colors and will buy it again next spring!

              I LOVE this shirt. I broke down and ordered the sea spray gingham in a 2. I'm 5'7 112# 34B usu wear a 0. It fit very nicely. Not skin tight but neither too blousy. The construction is perfect - the second button is at the right height to leave the first undone but still be professional, the hem is long enough to tuck in skirts without coming out but isn't too long. The contrasting neckline and cuffs and orange pick stitching is just lovely. The gingham with the bright color is a delight to wear. It pairs well with my Boden pencil skirts. I will continue to collect these shirts. I need just a touch more shoulder room but otherwise they really are The Shirt.

                I have the multi colored on white shirt and it's beautiful in person. The fabric is thinner than it looks online but I have no preference. I love the different design on the cuff. This shirt dries wrinkly so needs a little ironing.

                  When I ordered the blue polka dot they were out of my size (plus back ordered by over 2 months). I am usually an 8, but ordered a 10. I am glad I did because the 10 fits perfectly. I love so many things about this blouse; the contrasting lining at cuff and neck, the beautiful color of the polka dots. However, it is basically "see through". You have to wear something under it.

                    I got the green polka dots. Very pretty. Fabric is sheer and fit is small. I can see where the white polka dot would be very see-through. I ordered up a size and am glad I did.(Usually a 6 in Boden but ordered an 8). Usual size would have been much too tight.
                    I also ordered right before it went on sale, so maybe should have waited one more week!

                      I love these shirts. I took advantage of the buy 3 and pay $1 for a fourth. It's great to have so many options. The polka dot blouses are very light weight, airy, and cool--just right for summer in the south. But even in the heat, the shirt remains neat looking and doesn't wrinkle all up. The denim and navy blouses look more professional and could be worn to work. I'm very satisfied with the style and colors. Nice and roomy. Full enough for a full-figure girl. Not stingy with material. The style is quite attractive and sets you apart from the t-shirt crowd. Love the contrasting colors, too.

                        The fabric and contrasting cuffs are lovely but the cost compared to the fit was not worth it to me. I have a hard time fitting well into button down shirts in general. I was hoping for a Boden miracle. If it were less expensive I would have kept it to wear as a throw on type outfit.

                          Every time I wear one of these shirts I get a compliment! Literally, every time! I was having my teeth cleaned last month when my hygienist stopped working and asked, "Is that a Boden shirt?' Please keep cranking out these shirts......
