Maxi dress (sorry!) - do I keep?

It's from Boden but is A-line, I think, so comes in with an elasticated bit under boobs and flows from there. The bit under my boobs is a snug fit, and I am undecided. I am a shorty, just under 5ft 3, and I will probably be wearing it with flat shoes rather than heels.

I personally think it's lovely on you.

Does also explain why I never buy anything in Boden as I'm 5ft 8 and it's all too fecking short! Grin

It's in petite, not regular Space, so you may be ok!

They do a long in quite a lot of their stuff now.

I think it's really lovely, I'd definitely keep if I were you OP.

Lovely shape on you, not sure about the print though.

Thanks, perhaps a plain dress in the same style might be better.

I need a dress for a evening summer wedding do next week so I had a look at the Boden website but can't see that dress. I like it that much, and as another 5ft 3er, it is hard to find nice maxi dresses that are the right length. Do you have a link OP?

It's nice on you, keep it 😁

Thank you for the confirmation - I think I will keep it as it is very comfy.

Here is the link, the colour way I have got seems to have gone now.

It looks lovely I have toyed with getting it (and in that colour way as I think it's fab) but I really have overspent in the Boden sale this year, it's all got so nice, bastards Grin

Ooh, you look lovely! I ordered that a couple of days ago in the blue/black, waiting to receive it...am only 5'0 so it may be a bit dumpy on me!
