Help with Boden ruched dress fit

Hi, not sure whether to size up or not in these dresses. Normally I am a Boden 14 long. However, sometimes need to size up. I have the Aurelia Ottoman in a 16 for example. Any thoughts? I know I can try and send back but at the moment I have over £600 in the basket and I'm afraid that won't do Grin.

To clarify: I was thinking about the off-the-shoulder ruched dress and the crossover ruched dress. I have also ordered the Rita ruched dress, although I assume this is a different fit anyway. So, order placed with both sizes, but have cut down on all possible permutations. I'm sure you won't be hanging on my word, but will update.

OK, in case this is of any use to anyone else: off-the-shoulder dress I only had in a 16, seems a bit baggy around the shoulders but not sure if it would fit hips in a 14. Crossover ruched dress fits perfectly in a 16. Wish it was slightly longer (I am 5ft 7) but bright orange colour is great and is a keeper. This is not a colour for the shy and retiring though. Rita ruched dress fits perfectly in a 14 and is also a keeper. So, in summary - good job I tried both sizes!

Its closer fitting than the ruched detail one but still fine and TTS

Ah! I was looking for advice on this dress - I have the green one in a 14 - am a fairly standard 14 I think.

I love the dress - it is snug but flattering (I hope?!) but I am wondering how people manage with the very low neckline - what is the best type of bra to wear?

My boobs aren't massive - 34D but my bra seems to be on show in the dress. Would it look godawful if I try and pin it?!
