Comments about Boden Women Uplifting Cord Dress:

Size 12R fit well although a little large round the waist and if paying full price would have returned it. Could have done with a bit more shape but a smaller size would have been tight because of the long sleeves.

This is really nice quality - and great value in the sale. Will become a winter staple for work for a long time to come.

The trim at the neck and hem really lift the dress - all you need is a pair of boots - no worrying about tops/skirt combinations. Lots of compliments - although a few people identified it straight off as Boden.

    This dress is very well designed and has a tailor made feel to it. I feel confident and smartly dressed at work and I often wear it at weekends.It retains its shape well which is always a sign of a quality article of clothing. I always feel feminine in any of my Boden dresses and they really do stand the test of time. People always comment on how eye catching they are.

      These colours are superb for brunettes! Bought this in sale and the minute it's frosty outside these cord dresses call out to you, nestled in the wardrobe!

      Works well over trousers, and with tights. A superb, warm, toddler-proof dress for daywear.

      Comments about Boden Women Uplifting Cord Dress:

      I was so attracted by this dress ever since I saw it,waited for the sale as seemed pricey for a casual wear.Soon enough I found it in sale! I was delighted and ordered a 12R.(I am in between size 10-12) It just was just too large,material too thick, very loose sleeves and in general not at all flattering for a petite woman with a full figure. I tried a 10R but it was a bit tight. Unfortunately it had to go :( Very disappointed. May fit better on slim figures! Please make more of these cord dresses in slightly thinner material...

        Had my eye on this, and the the printed cord dress for a while and snapped both up in the sale. Beautiful dress, fabric and cut. So many compliments from my friends. Looks amazing with thick tights and boots. Love this dress!

          Fits like a glove and is very flattering; spacious enough around the tummy without looking baggy.

            Comments about Boden Women Uplifting Cord Dress:

            Such a lovely design in the mocha colour (size 8), suits me that the colour veers towards grey not brown as I am fair hair and skinned. Feels and looks lovely on,but... I know I will have to take a couple of darts or make some shaping to the waist area to give this dress proper waist shape! Love the dress though so I am prepared to experiment to make a lovely dress a perfect one. Think Boden needs to realise that the empire line or high waist or no waist is not a good look on a lot of women!

              I am 6 foot tall, a slender size 12 with average bust size. This dress fit where it hit, was easy to put on, felt fabulous on. It made me feel well put together, just add tights and boots and I have my favorite winter work outfit. I have the purple, I love the embroidery, it just made it a bit special. I ordered the 12 long and it just hits above my knee, very decent when sitting down. I felt the sizing was spot on. No down side. Have yet to launder it. Love this dress, hope they do it again next winter.

                    Sorry it didn't work for me. The dress is too long (I am 5 foot 3). I ordered it in brown and thought I looked like an extra from Pochohantus. The printed cord dress is much nicer.
