Looking at the pictures, this dress is perfect for me. I'm 5'8", with a full bust and pear/ hourglass shape. In practice, the dress fit in the shoulders and bust, but the waist was SEVERAL inches too big. I expected a fit and flare style, but it looked like a sack on me. I could have had it altered, but for the cost of the dress, it was a return.

This dress is classic, fits well, & is comfortable. It doesn't get much better than that!

This dress is just great. I am presenting a workshop and I HATE suits. I wanted a dress that looked good and was really comfortable. This is the dress.

Look put-together without much effort! The dress fits well, looks good, and the green color is fun. Light- to medium-weight material might be too heavy for high summer, but it will work great in the spring and fall.

I used the sizing chart to pick my size as I haven't purchased a dress from Boden before. It fits as anticipated although I ordered a tall size as I didn't want it above my knee and its a little longer than I expected. I think that was mostly due to my poor accuracy with my measurements. It's very well made and the jade color is just as pictured. I hope to wear it for a party and dancing. It can be dressed up or down. Very nice looking. I have a curvy figure and this is not the optimal style for me, but it's so pretty I'm going to keep it and just shorten the skirt a bit.

Love the look of this dress, in photos and on the hanger. And the green color is dynamite. The neckline felt a little high on me, so I felt a bit frumpy in it, so I sent it back. A little less material (not in a skimpy way) would have made this an A on me!

Wanted to love this dress with its nice definition of the bust and full skirt but the fabric felt to heavy and just didn't flatter. Alas, it went back.

This dress is beautifully tailored. It is very cute with a cardigan. I bought size 8L and love the fit. I am 5'1", 140 lbs. The dress hits me mid calf and is VERY flattering. The fabric seems easy to care for. I do not like anything that needs dry cleaning since I have 4 young children at home. I would think this dress would look good on anyone, especially someone with curves.

So becoming for a host of figures. Great for a great figure, great if you have a little tummy to hide. So comfortable yet keeps it's shape and finished look. Sleeves flattering even for someone who shies away from shorter/cap sleeves. Try it - you'll be thrilled.

I ordered the chancery dress in the green. It is a lovely emerald. I found the photo hue accurate. I love the little detail at the neck. It fit true to size. It is well-made. The fabric is very soft, comfortable and skims in a flattering way, no clinging.

As it turned out for me, the cut of the skirt did not work for my frame. This was disappointing because I love the look of the swishing voluminous skirt and had never tried the style on before. It may be I am too short to carry the look off in a non-petite size.

This is a great dress for the right people. I think you should give it a go if you are average to tall height, and it would be extremely flattering for pear shaped figures.
