Too short for professional setting

    I really wanted this dress to fit! it hugged my upper body really nicely (almost actually too small), but the hem line fell to short for me to wear to the office, which is what I was looking for. I also felt it hugged my rear a bit too much for a professional setting. I am muscularly built (5' 7" and 142 lb), so perhaps for a more slender frame this dress would work. I recommend ordering the long size. The fabric is thick and stretchy - very comfortable. Wish it worked for me.

    I liked the look of this dress but it was not a great fit. Very snug in the bust (and that never happens!). Fitted through torso and upper waist but lines were slightly off. Red color was great so disappointed that fit was not quite right. DId not try to the next size up as it would have been too big, I think. Sending it back but will try something else. I love Boden dresses!

    I am so, so sad that I had to send this back.

    I bought this in the red color, and the shade was lovely. It's got enough orange/coral in it to work beautifully in warm weather, but it's bold enough to stand on it's own all year.

    I love love loved the sleeves on this dress. I have thick arms, and the sleeves were incredibly slimming.

    Unfortunately, the tummy area of this dress was just not flattering. I'm an apple shape, around a size 10-12 US, and this gave me that dreaded illusion of having a softball sized belly button. It just didn't hang right on my waist. And with a color this bright, you will get noticed and I didn't want to get noticed for the wrong thing. Really, really sad. If you're more of a pear shape or a ruler shape, this might be a perfect dress for you.

      Well-made with a little stretch (but heavy enough to not cling) this dress works well for countless occasions. I bought the red and then picked up the navy as a quieter option. The band in the middle does not give very much on these dresses, and it does seem tighter on the navy one. Odd, but just garment variation I suppose. Glad I picked up both - I will get lots of use out of them.

          A great tribute to the era of Elegant Flight. Blending modern sensibility in fabric and cut with proper and mod tailoring - a win all around! The dress is less a sheath due to the great waistband - maximizes and embraces all hourglasses out there. Thank you Boden!

          The fabric is year round and wear well. The texture is a nice touch, lends elegance and style to the dress.

          Let's have more colors and perhaps a pattern or multi-thread weave for fall...along with either short sleeve or full length sleeves.

          Maybe a little box hat for fall? To complete the look? Jackie O. meets The Queen on Air Force One?

          Bravo. Buckle up, it's going to be a frequent, elegant ride.

          great style, but too short

            I love the style, fabric, color, and design of this dress, but it is too short, in my opinion, to wear for work, which is why I bought it. Another few inches and this would have been a perfect dress.

              Really like the dress. I couldn't decided between the red or turquoise. The turquoise has just a tint of green. I don't have anything in turquoise so I ordered the turquoise. The dress fits great. I didn't follow the drying instructions. I put the dress in the dryer on delicate and it came out perfect (but only partially dryed the dress). The directions state to shape and lay flat to dry so I don't want to mislead anyone. But no ironing is required which is what I like!

              I really wanted to love this dress but it was really short on me (and I'm only 5'5"). I ordered the regular and it was still very short, especially for work. Also, it was a bit on the smaller side overall. I am usually a size 10 in Boden and this would have been too tight for me.
              Other that that, the dress didn't look very comfortable when I opened the package but once I tried it on, I think it would have been. Bummer.

                Bought this dress in the green/teal color. I love it. You could wear this for a night out or to work. It feels well made and the fit is perfect. This dress is so worth the sale price.
