Comments about Boden Women Charlotte Dress:

Was just browsing through the winter sale dresses and spotted this lovely silk dress in a size 10,got it in the blue and incidentally goes very well with a sulphur coloured cardigan (Boden,2010) It was a bargain,at [$],down from [$].Love the flowery print,a timeless design.My only complaint is that it's a tad short,but will get round that with wearing dark tights.

    Comments about Boden Women Charlotte Dress:

    As a new customer I have ordered this dress in size 8, and it was slightly too big. But when it arrived in size 6 it was just perfect. I am planning to ware this dress on holiday, for a night out it will be great.

    The flowers are very hot this season and I look so feminine in this dress.

      Comments about Boden Women Charlotte Dress:

      Having read the reviews, I took my chances with this dress because it looks so stunning in the photograph and the sale price was so good. Sadly, both cons listed in previous reviews are true: firstly the skirt is very tight around the hips compared to usual with Boden (I am a slim size 8 with curves) but that might not be a problem for a more boyish up-and-down figure. However the top half was slightly too big, with a lot of extra material gathering in the small of my back which completely ruined the line. The fabric and colour is gorgeous so am gutted it fits son badly and have to return.

        as previous reviewers have said, the bottom half is a fraction too tight. I am a classic 10 in Boden clothes but this dress just pulled in the wrong place. Real shame as I wanted it for my brother's wedding and it looked gorgeous on!

          Very beautiful dress, i am very surprised they are still available online, it is now 3 times less than it was initially. Dress is very well made, colours are beutiful. Very straight, it is of course is not perfect on me, just because i am a bit curvy at the bottom, and I have never worn dresses below knee or on knee. However i hope i will get smaller by summer and it won't be tight anymore.

          thank you Boden, love the dress, i wish only it was a tiny bit shorter.

            A beautiful dress, bought in the sale. Lovely detailing and feels comfy to wear. I bought my ususal size 14 and didn't find it too tight on the hips so not sure about the other reviews. I am an hour glass shape aswell, so was expecting it to be tight. This will be perfect in the Summer too. If would have been nicer to have cap sleeves for a Winter dress.

            Such a beautiful dress, I was thrilled when it arrived and was desperate to like it as much on me as I did on the hanger. Alas, sadly, the poor cut is a disappointment. It sags out at the small of your back, creating a really wide profile and the neckline is cut just that bit too high, creating a rather mumsy bosom. I so wanted to like it, but sadly it had to go back.

              I got the dress in the pale blue when at the sale price. I loved both colours. I ordered the 8R as I am usually this size in boden dresses. As a pear shape, I found it too tight on the hips and the colours didn't look anything special on me. Alas, I have sent it back.

              My 1st order from Boden and am impressed with the quality, the colours are vibrant however disappointed with the fit. I am usually an 8 - 10 so bought the 8 followings others reviews.There is too much material at the back of the dress; great if you've got a bit of excess weight, but not if you are lean. It could do with over 6 inches removed and at £[$] I wouldn't expect to have to take it to a dressmaker to re work. Such a shame as it's a very pretty dress.

                Beautiful dress, however I am 5ft 7ins in height and when I looked at myself in the mirror, the dress looked lovely until I looked down to my legs. It (the dress) looked like it had been cut off prematurely. I had (as had others) complained to Boden last year that both the dresses and skirts in the 'Limited' range were to short and could a 'long' version be introduced as their regular styled dresses and skirts range. Until Boden introduce such lengths in the 'Limited' collection, I will not be buying any more skirts or dresses from this range as they are consistently coming up short. I real disappointment as the 'Limited' range garments are lovely.
