    Comments about Boden Women Olivia Dress:

    I bought this dress for a ball and also for a wedding. I've received lots of compliments! The navy blue is a lovely rich colour and the design is very elegant. I'm a petite 8 and found it a very good fit. Just one little criticism and that is that it tends to crease quite easily.

      I am a petite size 10 and this Olivia dress fitted a treat, concerned it may be a shiny satin silk, pleased to say that this is not the case,This dress certainly has elegance. Needed an outfit for a wedding in June - now must find the right accessories to complete the look.

        this is a sweet dress, I know I will reach for it when I con't know what on earth to wear and want to look smartly turned-out. I took the advice of other reviews and ordered a size larger than normal which fits well except on my narrow shoulders

          If you looking for a simple, stylish dress, that it understated, elegant and stunning, then you really should try this ...
          The dress fitted me perfectly, apart from the cap sleeves on my upper arms. I have broad shoulders and felt the cap sleeves were a little too snug. I could have adjusted the button, but decided to send back. However, I am now thinking about reordering and getting a second opinon. I ordered the pink which is a gorgeous colour.

          Comments about Boden Women Olivia Dress:

          This dress could be the perfect piece for your wardrobe. Unfortunately Boden you have all the sizing wrong. I am always a Boden size 12 but having read the reviews I decided to order a size larger. The 14 looked great as long as I didn't breathe out or sit down. I was very disappointed and ordered a size 16. The 16 was about 1cm larger around the hips and so absolutely no good at all. I sent both dresses back and it cost me [$]. I'm very dissapointed that the sizing of this beautiful dress hasn't been corrected!

          Comments about Boden Women Olivia Dress:

          A beautiful dress, fabulous material, wonderful rich colours and a fabulous design but so disappointing that it is not true to size. Come on Boden, there is no excuse for this. I am always a Boden size 14 and more recently I am more of a 12-14. I ordered this dress along with two other Boden dresses, all in a 14. The fit on the others was perfect but the Olivia was very tight all across the middle so I ordered it in a 16, in each colour. There is hardly any difference in the sizing compared to the 14 I had previously received - my 16 is more like a 12. There is no way it would fit a true size 16 women. Sadly I won't be keeping this dress as it's not worth the cost for a dress that is such a poor fit.

          Stunning dress, fabric and colour beautiful(I purchased the rose colour) ,the little sleeves just pretty and practical enough to make a woman feel confident. I am so sad to return it.I am usually a size 12 from Boden,but this one shows my tummy "not a good look," generally feels neat across the hip area.I believe the next size up would be to big at the bust area.
