Boden Hannah dress

Has anyone tried this yet? Looks gorgeous on the site but so far everything I've ordered has gone straight back as it doesn't suit me at all. I'm a petite size 8 but I do have a mummy tummy. There are no ratings on the dress yet and wondering if any of you lovely ladies have any thoughts on it?

No and don't know if this is any help but I did order one last years the knitted dress that was very similar. In the end I sent it back because I felt the skirt was too full- so you might like to look at the measurements. I found last years small fitting- needed a 10 and can often get into an 8.

Hmmm thanks. Will have a closer look as full skirts don't suit me at all. I do find their sizing inconsistent which makes it hard to know what size to go for.

I have bought one this year. I'm a much bigger size than you but would say it's true to size.
Also, as Im tall and hourglass, the flared skirt suits me but wouldn't necessarily suit everyone.

Still haven't decided whether to keep though, as the material isn't as soft as my lovely all merino Boden knit dresses from the last two years, and also not 100% sure about berry colour -it's nice but maybe a little too 'warm' a colour for my skin tone.

I found last year's very flattering up top- but the flared skirt made me look too 'hippy' . It's a matter of taste though. If you want a wool dress maybe hang on because The White Company tend to do those, but they are usually more of a shift style and only in black or grey, or navy.

Thanks for the replies. Yes am after one really lovely dress for winter. Think I'll hold off on it for now and keep looking.
