Cecily Dress

Not available BH016

This is a dress that makes us smile. We famously have a soft spot for spots. These unstoppable specimens are sophisticated enough for day or night. You’ll find lots of signature Boden detail too, including silk trims at the neckline and a velvet trim beneath the bust.

Comments about Boden Women Cecily Dress:

Beautiful quality dress, colours not quite as bright as on website but this suits me.
Gapes at front not good fit but bought a cami to wear with it which solves any embarrassment.

    Comments about Boden Women Cecily Dress:

    Bought this for a party and it fitted the bill perfectly. Would also be suitable for a smart lunch out as it doesn't feel over dressed up. Lovely soft fabric, and fits my pear shape well. Such a great design of fabric too and very distinctly Boden.

      the Limited Collection seem to be well-designed and well-made but I will not order again in future because they are not long enough and a "longer length" is not available. Such a shame.

        I purchased this dress in the sale recently, usually I'm not a "dress person", however it fits like a dream and as I have a wedding to go to in the summer will come in handy as already have shoes, cardigan that will work well with the colours(blue/taupe).

        Lovely colours and fabric. The style was not at all flattering as it was very generous over the waist and hip areas.

          I've just received this dress and I love it. The only thing which is a shame is that it isn't available in a long version. I'm 1.75m tall and normally a size 12. Recently however I've noticed that the size 12 Boden dresses are too big for me so have been ordering size 10. This dress is just a bit too short for me, finishing a few centimetres above the knee - I would have preferred it to go down to the middle of the knee. So next time please add a longer version for slimish tall ladies!

          I was slightly sceptical when ordering this as I have read the previous reviews, which were not great. But when it arrived I was delighted.

          I ordered a size bigger than I usually would and it fits very nicely. The material and the colours are gorgeous!

          Yes, it is quite low cut and I will wear something underneath to cover up the cleavage a bit. But it is not as bad as I feared. I am totally in love with this dress.

            I love the design and colour of this dress. It's going to be put away for a wedding next year. The only down side is that the dress is low cut so I'll need to wear a camisole underneath, hence four stars rather than five.

            Comments about Boden Women Cecily Dress:

            I so wanted this dress to fit, as the fabric and colours were beautiful. It was way to small in the bust department - didn't just show a bit of cleavage, it gaped open to below my bra - and that was stood up ! I don't think a bigger size would help - the style is just wrong for anyone that's busty at all. Sadly gone back (bargain price with 40% off, too !)

              when this arrived, it didn't look great on the hanger, but is much better on. The fabric is beautiful (the multi colours lovely), the velvet band under the bust a nice touch. The fit, however, was not good around the bust - it gaped in the middle, I don;t think there was enough coverage for the larger size (20). Sadly will have to be returned, and my hunt for a wedding outfit continues!
