    Comments about Boden Women Kate Dress:

    I was so looking forward to loving this and having it as my New Year dress. I ordered it in the pewter colourway and the cardigan to match it as worn in the photo. Unfortunately the pale turquoise/green waistband and trim shown in the photo is not the same as the actual, much darker shade on the dress.
    This made it look dull, and as the colourway was 90% of what attracted me, I returned it.
    So only four stars.

    Comments about Boden Women Kate Dress:

    I originally bought the pewter dress and loved it so much that I bought the petrol version too. They are really versatile and I've worn them socially and for work, dressed with different accessories. I'd agree with the previous comments re: sizing. The waist is too large and I've actually adjusted mine to make the fit a little better. A small niggle though for a dress that attracts compliments each time it is worn.

      I love this dress! I've bought it for a wedding- can't wait to show it off. Teamed it with bodens uplifting cardi. How posh do I feel! The quality is outstanding (I'm used to high street shops). It fits beautifully around the bust and shoulders, maybe a little big around the waist. I think a smaller size would be too small though. Absolutely delighted!

      A lovely dress - just not a good fit on me. The neckline is very flattering and it fitted well on the bust but it was too big on me below that so it was a bit sack like on me. It need to be a bit more fitted around the under bust band for my shape. It was also a bit short sitting just above my knee. I think the fit of dresses is as tricky as trousers. What is wrong for one may look lovely on someone else. It's a great price in the sale so I would try it but I am reluctantly returning mine. I am size 14 pear shape and 5' 7" if that helps.

      Gutted. Bought this in petrol and very excited. Beautiful dress but too short and unflattering. Big on the waist and hips. Had hoped this would show off my size 10 hourglass figure and instead I looked shapeless.

      Maybe suit another shape. Plus there was no option to buy in the longer length which would have made the dress soooo much more elegant.

      Comments about Boden Women Kate Dress:

      In terms of colours, one of the most beautiful items Boden has ever produced BUT the sizing is just rubbish. I'm used to needing to match measurements not just sizes but this was smaller than the measurements. The bust was ridiculously tight meaning the whole thing didn't hang right. Such a shame as it's a stunning, stunning dress. Too short for my height really but if the bust had fitted I would have kept it. Waist and hips fine.
