Comments about Boden Women Pleat Detail Wool Dress:

After reading other reviews I still went ahead and ordered this dress.It fits me perfectly but this may be due to my shape,no defined waist and slim hips so this dress was made for me.

At the price it is if you are the same shape as me then it would be an investment buy as it's so classic I doubt it will ever date.Great dress to accesorise.

Good quality but poor shape

    Comments about Boden Women Pleat Detail Wool Dress:

    I'm 5ft9 and a 12 bottom 14 top, I brought this after reading it was smaller round the skirt yet this just doesn't fit.
    The hip kicks out 4-5 inches above where my hips are, so you get this empty puffy looking shape right above my hips! It was lovely fabric and detailing, but just not made for a taller girl, and if you are a proper 14 or even pear shaped, this wouldn't fit you either!
    Shame

      This dress is beautifully made, very high quality and looks great on. It is true that the sizing might not work for everyone. But if it does fit, this is the best dress for the price one can hope for. I got endless compliments from both husband and all work colleagues. More of this kind of quality please!

          I wish I had heeded the reviews on this dress and not ordered it. Lovely and well made but didnt fit properly. Baggy and loose around the middle but way too tight around the hips. I'm usually a size 6/8 so ordered an 8.
          I was so disappointed!

            This is a bargain in the sale - BUY IT AND TRY IT! I know some people have found the waist too baggy and the thigh too tight. The issue is, it's tailored with no stretch, so you either fit it or you don't. Luckily for me, it does fit and I love it. It is very good quality, a classic design - in dark blue, you can dress it up for a posh dinner, or be very smart if you wear it to work. If in doubt, just buy it and try it!

              Like other reviewers I thought this looked great on the hanger and the fabric felt gorgeous. I also loved the nice lining. i was looking forward to wearing it to work the next day, but...

              Despite being fine at the top it was far too tight over my thighs. I'm a 14 on top and a 12 at the bottom so I'm sure that (in this instance!) it's the cut of the dress which is odd and not me!

              Such a shame as it could have been lovely.

              Comments about Boden Women Pleat Detail Wool Dress:

              I was really excited to get this dress for work in the sale and when it arrived, I took it out the box and loved the colour and gorgeous lining. It looked so classy! I am always a size 8 in Boden even sometimes a size 6. When I put this dress on, it was lovely at the top but just didnt sit right at the front - almost like there was too much material at the stomach for me and a bit too tight across the thighs. I think it may have just been my shape but it didnt flatter me at all. I am a little disappointed as I was hoping it would be a great dress to wear to work but I had to send it back. I will keep searching for the perfect work dress.

              Lovely looking dress on the hangar, sadly the same could not be said once the dress was on; the top looked lovely, but it was far too snug round the hips. I am sure sizing up would have left me with a baggy top half. Sadly the dress had to be returned.

                A perfect fit for me and very flattering. The material is actucally a very high quality lightweight wool. If you appreciate expensive clothing and real quality you will love this.My husband commented how expensive it looks Extremely smart on and is ideal for work or going out.It was actually a good buy at full price.
