    This was my first buy at Boden so we had first some back and forth because of the dress size. I wear size 2 (dresses) and 0 in The Limited, which translates into Boden 4 for this dress... I love the dress, it is simply elegant and very versatile - it's perfect for work but also for all kind of other more formal occasions. It combines well with different styles and colors. It's a bit too short for my taste - well, next time I will go for long instead of regular...

      This dress is very, very comfortable! The fabric has a bit of stretch and the texture of the knit makes it very forgiving of my less than perfect shape. The fit is close without feeling tight. I typically wear a 4 in dresses, but sized up to a 6 in this and am glad I did. The length is just to the top of the knee (I'm 5'4"). I'm sure I'll wear this a lot -- it can be dressed up with boots and tights and a cardigan for cooler weather or alone with flats or sandals when it's warmer.

          This was small - as in PERFECT FIT! I normally wear a 12, so sent it back for a 14 which I am sure will be fine. If I weren't so busty it might have been fine. The teal was gorgeous, and I can't wait to get the 14!

            The dress is form fitting and very flattering. The fabric has a "heavy" hand to it so doesn't show lines.

            Color Makes the Difference

            By Bodenlover

            from USA

            Verified Buyer

            Nice heft to the material, a thick, slightly textured ponte knit with some stretch in it. I had to size up, which I have never never done in a Boden dress before, it;'s a little large but the other was too tight. Loved the green so much I tried ordered it in the other colors, but the orange was just too intense for me and the navy too normal to make up for the slightly bulky fit.

              Great fabric and cut. I am 5'4" and bought the regular size(not petite). The length is great for work.

              No ironing. Yay!

              The turquoise dress color is slightly lighter and more green than the image.

              The side zipper gets a bit stuck near the rib cage.

              Still, it's a great work dress and could be worn for dressier occasions.

              If the color were a true turquoise and the zipper were smoother, it would be a perfect 5 stars.

                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.
