Classic Boden

I like the way Boden fits; read the other reviews about the stiffness of the fabric (it is thick) and sized up. Like this look for work, conservative but with a cool pattern.

Nice empire waist

Not much give in the fabric and lining is a bit tricky depending on body type. I had to pin the lining so it didn’t hang below bottom of hem line.

Cute but small

This dress is gorgeous. I almost wish it was about 10 degrees cooler, so I could where this. The material felt heavy coming off the hanger, it also didn't have any stretch. I will try this again in a larger size.

Beautiful but too small

Fit through the hips, but couldn’t zip all the way up—I am not particularly busty either and sometimes wear an XS. The fabric is thick and stiff, which would be ok if it fit.

Gorgeous dress! Fabric was heavy and stiff.

This dress was really really pretty on the hanger, but I couldn't get it zipped at my upper back/shoulders. The fabric is very heavy and stiff. I run pretty hot, so there's no way I would have been comfortable even if I could have gotten it on. There was very little give to the fabric.

Quality Fabric

This dress is made with a heavy jacquard weave fabric that is very nice. The zipper was impossible to raise and lower by myself. I had to get my husband to help.

Weird fit- boxy

I did wear this dress. The pattern was cute. The material however was incredibly thick and very Boxy on... It was borderline short and loose in the waist on me. Tallish girls with smaller waists and bigger hips beware. Also the colors are black and pink.

Comfortable dress

Comfortable dress and like others said a little more pink instead of cream or beige design. I'm in between sizes so the 8 was a little bigger but not uncomfortably.

Thick and structured

So thick and heavy. Very hard to move in, especially since it runs small and is a tight cut. Super cute for a professional meeting though.

Small and tight!

I agree with another reviewer that the sleeves were way too tight! I couldn’t wear it.

Awful fit

I am a pretty average size 6 and this dress was unwearable. Couldn’t fit my arms through the arm holes. Couldn’t zip it up. Skin tight. Unforgiving and unflattering fabric. Even if I got a larger size it wouldn’t have worked- it’s way too short for what should be a modest dress. Awful

Horrible and thick material with zero stretch. Horrible material. Lining is the worst! Did not wear out.

Hard pass

I guess this was made to fit someone who is completely straight up and down? Uncomfortable, heavy fabric with a fit that was allll wrong. Tight in the shoulders and hips (even in a size larger than my usual), but tons of extra fabric in the waist.

Stiff material, runs small

I tried this on and although it fit in my usual size 2, it was too tight. The cut of the dress is flattering but the material is too stiff and has no give. Returned without wearing. Size up or better yet skip this one altogether.

Great piece!

Can't really go wrong with Boden. Wore this to a pretty casual work cocktail hour. Material is nice, and the cut was perfect.

Cute dress with nice thicker material, but just didn't work for my athletic build. The arms were way too tight in the bicep area.

Easy wear dress

Typically I'm a 10/12 and felt the 12 was a bit big all over. Not unwearable but just looser than I'd like for a professional work environment.

Stiff Material and Shape

I have a post partum bump, so this dress did not work out for me. Otherwise, it's a nice dress. The fabric is not thin or too thick and the round neckline in the back is very feminine.
