        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.

                            Received the dress, took it out of the bag, ironed it, wore it out the door. The compliments have not stopped coming. Wore with flats for Audrey Hepburn look, and added chunky necklace. Smoothed my bumps and flattered my curves.Perfect!
