sorry to be boring and ask a Boden related question but...

[tulpe]

...has anyone ordered this ?

REviews on the site are mixed. I like the idea of a shirt dress but usually they are button all the way through - rather than just to the waist. Thought it might be nice layered with long sleeve tee or bright vest tops and flip flops in summer?

It looked awful on me. I'd say all the negative points made in the reviews on the site are correct (mine was one of those negative reviews). The fit was poor and I didn't like the creased material. It certainly isn't a mini either, though you may not mind this.

Of course, as ever with these things, the only way to tell for sure if you like it is to try it, I guess - a couple of reviewers do seem to have.

I noticed in passing there is an Autograph denim dress on the M and S website which I may try.

Thanks for that.

It's often the case with so many Boden items that they are styled (ie pinned and clipped around the back of the model :o ) to make them look better.

Am a little worried about the creased fabric too. I tend to want to iron it smooth! Do you think that's a possibility with the fabric?

I have ordered it anyway - just in case . With discounts and an account credit I had forgotten about I managed to get it for £15!

Will take a peek at the Autograph dress.

You may well look great in it, being much slimmer and more youthful than me (though at least I wasn't the only one with problems with it!). I'd think you could certainly iron it - don't know how quickly it would crease again. Will be interested to know your views when it arrives. Definitely worth a go for £15.
