I am a Boden virgin: is their wrap dress nice??? HELP!!!

[LiliLaTigresse]

Thinking of getting the Blue mosaic one here
Anyone seen it IRL? Is it any good?
Is the cocoa leaf colour nicer???
Does it look cheap? Is it well cut??

This is why I hate buying from catalogues...

I bought the purple one and it is the only thing from Boden I have ever bought for me that I'll keep. But I do have cheapish tastes. I'll use it for work.

i like mine in plain brown. material quite flimsy, sizing good. v useful

tis too long for me
and am worried it will flap open
in fact wrap dresses look shit on me

I tried Hobbs' wrap dresses and they look really good on me but the patterns were dire, so didn't get one
Material of Hobbs ones was great, heavy, and not flimsy, so a bit worried about that..
hmmmm

I can see where this is going
I'm going to be Mrs Reasonable and not get it
Am getting soooo boring in my old age

My dd's teacher wears this and she looks absolutely fantastic in it I have to say.

Nope - tried it on and disaster. I have big bum, small waist and small breasts and I'm a short arse - result.. gaping at top, too long, thin-ish material clings to saddlebag thighs. Not a good look. Looks lovely on the model though! Think it just depends on your height/body.

thanks girls, I have been busy ordering it!!!
I'm tall with big boobs and a waist, so usually a good shape for me
Will report back when it arrives (fingers crossed!)

Got it late last night, tried it on and I love it. Really good shape, material is quite heavy, like the print, very pleased indeed!!
Much nicer than my Monsoon one.
Will wear on saturday for lunch with friends
hehehe
am I a Boden convert????

glad you like it llt - i have it in cocoa leaf and wore it to death last winter (with boots and chunky necklace or skinny scarf)

I have a couple and swear by them. I have to wear a camisole / vest underneath as they gap too much otherwise, but find them very flattering.
