    Comments about Boden Women Laidback Linen Dress:

    I was delighted, not only with the quality of this dress but also the lovely colours.
    Having such a good lining means that the linen doesn't crease a much. I think it is a very versatile dress which could be worn with sandles in the summer and thick tights and boots in the winter. I have had lots of complimentary comments when wearing this dress, a real ego boost! The only negative comment I would make is that I ordered the 12L, as I am 5ft 8" and feel that maybe the 12R would have been ok but didn't want the expence of re-ordering and returning. In future, when I order, I will order both lengths to decide.

        Fantastic dress, gorgeous (Truffle Fabulous Flowers) brighter greens & pinks than online and just gorgeous print - comes to life in the flesh. Being lined it had plenty of wear prior to us finally getting some warmer weather. Good weight linen, naturally creases but that's how it is.

          Very concerned when I saw this first but definitely improved once it was on. Not a stunning dress but comfortable and will suit for work or weekend wear.

            I bought the blue dress and was impressed by the shape and comfort. A v-neck, defined waist and 3/4 length sleeves - perfect! I also like it that the zip is tucked away at the side. I wore it to work and it felt and looked great all day, so I ordered the truffle fabulous flower version - much nicer than the picture and the colours and design are uplifting. Still tempted to get the biscuit one, too...

              Comments about Boden Women Laidback Linen Dress:

              Bought this in a regular 12. A lovely dress, pretty and the colour is true to website pic and fabric is substantial, so gives a good shape. I'm between a 10 and 12 in Boden but the 12 felt more comfortable - although a touch too wide across top. BUT I really wanted this dress in petite: the fit was absolutely perfect apart from the length - I'm only 5' 3" but petite dress was way too short, more like a tunic. I've found this will all the petite range dresses/skirts. Boden, PLEASE, PlEASE lenghten your petite hems.

                Comments about Boden Women Laidback Linen Dress:

                I brought the dress in the navy and it is one of my best Boden purchases from 2012. The fit is great - it's very flattering and hides a multitude of sins. This is linen and yes the dress does crease a little - I was expecting this. The fabric is on the heavy side - this is not the sort of dress for hot summer temperatures but perfect for erratic UK weather. The beauty of the dress is that it is suitable for pretty much every occasion. I am considering another in one of the patterns

                  This dress has the look and feel of a summer dress but because it is lined, it is warm for those chillier "summer" days. I have worn it with three quarter leggings recently when the temperatures were about 15 degress

                    I bought the blue flowers and will be accessorising with red shoes bag and jewellery. A pretty dress bought for a family tea party and a 40th wedding anniversary dinner party. The English weather being as it is, the long sleeves will be very suitable.

                    I would have given this a great review, as I liked the first one I ordered (biscuit flowers) so much that I bought another two in the same size. But the others came up tighter round the hips and gaped at the neck. I am really disappointed. As a mail order company it is really important Boden get this sort of thing right.

                    Comments about Boden Women Laidback Linen Dress:

                    Starting with a positive - I like the fact this dress has sleeves. The negatives -
                    'where's my 34DD chest gone?! it strangely flattened down my chest - not enough structure; too much material from the waist down, it could do with being a bit more flatteringly fitted & finally, I thought the pattern too large.
