Vintage Silk Dress

£129.00 BR013

The crossover detailing at the bust may be beautiful to behold, but the matching V-neck at the back of this silk georgette dress is breathtaking. We love the way it accentuates the often-neglected nape of the neck. Delicate cap sleeves add a final, dreamy detail.

    This dress is just beautiful - even nicer in real life. Great quality and fits really beautifully on all sizes - skims over bumps and lumps. I have bought 5 of these for my bridesmaids, of sizes 8 to 14, and they all love it!

    I bought this dress in sky, and the colour is actually nicer than in the picture shown. Fabulous material, drapes very well and gives a touch of undersstated glamour.

    Comments about Boden Women Vintage Silk Dress:

    When I saw this dress I knew it would be perfect for a very simple wedding ceremony that my partner and I had in a registry office this spring. I chose the blue dress. It was a great fit, I loved the stitching around the chest and felt lovely to touch. I wanted a dress that I could wear again and have worn it twice since. The only disadvantage was that any drops of water accidentally shaken off hands whilst using a hand dryer left water marks as it dried, but this came out following a dry clean.

      I (mother of the bride) bought this in several sizes hoping it would do as a bridesmaid dress. The adult bridesmaid liked it, hopefully the small size will be OK for the 12 year old, and we'e ordered the daisy dress for the 10 year old - [...]

      Silk dress

            This dress is basically the regatta dress with diffferent fabric. Fit was perfect on the chest & as it is empire line that is all that needed to fit. Fabric is lovely silk georgette which drapes beautifully & is much more flattering if you are small than the firmer regatta dress fabric which made me look like a mushroom. I'm not sure why this dress is called vintage - I think it would need to be more fitted to the waist to look a vintage style.
            Unfortunately, when I put this dress on, my immediate thought was that it would be a perfect bridesmaid dress for my 16year old niece. With that image in my mind I couldn't think of a single occasion when I could wear the dress.

              I have ordered this for my daughter's wedding in June [...]and I'm really pleased with it. I'm pear-shaped so this is very flattering, accentuating the good bits and hiding the bad!The fabric is floaty and the Sky colour gorgeous.I have a similar style Boden dress and I am so please I was able to find another for the wedding.
