Caved in to 25% off and £10 voucher and bought Stitch Detail Dress. Does anyone have it? Can you reassure me?! It's the most I've spent on an item of clothing for 3 years! Eek!

Link here.
I think it is lovely,as long as you are not an hour glass shape. I am and that would look dreadful on me!
I think the sale will be starting soon,but you have probably got it for around the sale price anyway.

Congratulations! My friend has this dress, she looks lovely in it and wears it all the time. It doesn't crease and is a good length. Don't worry - you can always return it if you don't like it.

Thank you for doing the link. I have paid £41 plus a few pence for it. Didn't think that was too bad as even on eBay they tend to go for that sort of figure!

It still hasn't arrived. Sad
I kind of thought the Boden delivery thing would be faster than this!

I have this dress and it's lovely and very flattering. What colour did you get?

I ordered something last week and its not arrived yet - think they are being slow at the moment. As forward says you can always send it back if you don't like it

Moodykat · 30/11/2011 22:25

I got purple as I seem to like it at the moment! What colour have you got?

Have you had your despatched email? i ordered some things for DS last Friday and they arrived yesterday, they are normally really quick.

Moodykat · 30/11/2011 22:30

Had despatched email the next day! Tracking says it was put on van today and then received at depot 9hours later! Someone was in all day! Grr!

Has it arrived yet? My boden order arrived yesterday finally

I've got raisin and it goes with all sorts. I also Ordered the gold one but returned it as it was a bit too yellow for me

Moodykat · 03/12/2011 21:42

Yep! It arrived on Thursday! Delivered to the wrong house though! I love it!

I also made my first boden purchase,
this
It is very nice actually, I paid about £37 for it which is not bad considering it is silk, hangs well and is quite trendy in a understated sort of way. Will be wearing with dark denim and perhaps something yellow.

I've got the Stitch Detail dress on order too. It's my first Boden order too and I've got the same discount. Mine said not in stock when I ordered it so I probably won't get it until after Christmas now :(

I'm hoping it will fit when it finally arrives and that it will suit me and be as versatile as it is suggested. I don't normally spend money on myself.

Moodykat · 03/12/2011 23:05

I don't think you'll be disappointed! I can see myself wearing it everyday!Xmas Grin

Oh I like the Stitch Detail dress! Would it suit someone me though? 5'7, size 10, small of bust but with a yucky pot belly!!?? Purple looks lovely but is sold out ... I guess navy would be versatile - coloured tights, long boots, nice l-sleeved t under?

Moodykat · 03/12/2011 23:46

Well, I'm 5'7" but a size 14! Got hideous tummy and it still looks nice!

Me too! However, I was really boring and just ordered a red polo neck as I needed jumpers not dresses. I'm don't think I got the £10 off though even though I entered code, it doesn't show on my invoice. I was thinking of ringing them especially since they have harassed me for about a year to order something.

Moodykat · 04/12/2011 09:04

Mine didn't show in invoice, I think it explains why underneath?

I've that dress too, in grey. I love it and am thinking about getting the navy one as well as I wear it all the time,

polyhymnia · 04/12/2011 15:55

I happened to read this and have just succumbed and ordered one (stitch dress) in purple. Hope it looks good on me!
