      Comments about Boden Women Fun Dress:

      I love this dress and wear it all the time - it is perfect for work, can be dressed up with heels for going out and dress down with a cardy and boots or balerina pumps. Great all rounder. It is a perfect fit and shape - I am a standard size 12 and it is very flattering - I get compliments on it every time I wear it. I bought this dress in purple and in petrol and loved the fit so much I bought a 3rd one in petrol and took off the large beads off on it to make it look different and more versatile. My 19-year old niece loved it so much I got one (the 4th one) for her too - she is a size 12 though different shape than me and it fits her perfectly too. My only regret is the limited colour range. Any chance for a cranberry red one, fuschia pink, royal blue or plum and with less of fussy details?

        Comments about Boden Women Fun Dress:

        Although I really liked this dress I hesitated a lot before ordering because I was not sure about sizing and this is a fitted dress. I liked the petrol version but my husband advised that the black one is the only I should consider so I ordered the black. It is really the best ever Boden dress. Size 10 fits like a glove and the dress is extremely comfortable and flattering. The fabric has a satin sheen so it looks and feels luxurious without being over the top. The grey circles make it more interesting than plain black without being 'in your face'. The lenght is perfect (I ordered the long versiion and it covers my knees). So all in all, most pleased with this purchase and looking forward to a version of this in the autumn catalogue.

          Perfectly proportioned for petites; excellant fit across shoulders, bust, and hips (I'm a size 12); length just right for my 5'1" Fabulous feel, colour combo is brilliant. My husband and family love it as well. This is my second Boden petite dress and I'm thrilled that the range has been expanded, thanks.

          Love this dress, you can dress it up or down. The only drawback I think it was a little too long. I am quite tall so ordered the long but I am exchanging it for a regular.

            If in your size try it.
            Hid the post chritmas/January bulges and to boot made me feel good! An antidote for the February blues.

              I love this dress it is really lovely. The material is fabulous, even the lining makes it so sumptuous to wear. The detailing is really lovely too. I have worn it out to dinner but it could also be worn every day.

                Love this dress, bought in the sale in the black colour way. Dress slightly generous sized so I sized down. Stretch in fabric makes dress really comfortable. Suits my curvy figure.

                      Ordered this in sale, had my eyes on it for ages in the blue and sooooo wanted it to be perfect. Sadly colour darker than shown online and fitted up top beautifully but was too wide at waist and hips and therefore sadly sending back.Sizing as so many people have said about many different items is so hit and miss this season.

                          Simple, flattering design, with a bit of fun detail. It's cotton with a slight stretch and a lovely sheen. Good quality, love the fact that it's lined. Smart, but not too smart. It seemed a little larger in my normal size, so I had to size down. Would like to see some more colours.
