Maxi dress (sorry!) - do I keep?

It's from Boden but is A-line, I think, so comes in with an elasticated bit under boobs and flows from there. The bit under my boobs is a snug fit, and I am undecided. I am a shorty, just under 5ft 3, and I will probably be wearing it with flat shoes rather than heels.

I personally think it's lovely on you.

Does also explain why I never buy anything in Boden as I'm 5ft 8 and it's all too fecking short! Grin

It's in petite, not regular Space, so you may be ok!

They do a long in quite a lot of their stuff now.

I think it's really lovely, I'd definitely keep if I were you OP.

Lovely shape on you, not sure about the print though.

Thanks, perhaps a plain dress in the same style might be better.

I like it. Definitely a keeper.

OlennasWimple · 15/08/2016 13:39

I like it!

Ifonlyiweretaller · 15/08/2016 15:09

i love it! might just have a look at Boden myself...

WanderingTrolley1 · 15/08/2016 15:16

You look beautiful, OP! Definitely a keeper!

ColintheCrow · 15/08/2016 15:31

I like it too ☺

polyhymnia · 15/08/2016 15:34

Like it! Maybe other colourways would be nice too but that one certainly is.

Redken24 · 15/08/2016 15:34

i love it

Madbengalmum · 15/08/2016 17:17

Its a keeper!

NapoleonsNose · 15/08/2016 17:26

I need a dress for a evening summer wedding do next week so I had a look at the Boden website but can't see that dress. I like it that much, and as another 5ft 3er, it is hard to find nice maxi dresses that are the right length. Do you have a link OP?

Destinysdaughter · 15/08/2016 17:28

It's nice on you, keep it 😁

Thank you for the confirmation - I think I will keep it as it is very comfy.

Here is the link, the colour way I have got seems to have gone now.

Like it. Keep

MissPronounced · 15/08/2016 18:10

I see you've already been convinced, but it's a definite keeper! It fits you fabulously.

NapoleonsNose · 15/08/2016 18:44

Thank you OP!

Willsee · 15/08/2016 19:15

Looks better on you than on Boden modelsSmile

TheNaze73 · 15/08/2016 19:17

You & the dress look fabulous. Keep it Smile

GobblersKnob · 15/08/2016 19:19

It looks lovely I have toyed with getting it (and in that colour way as I think it's fab) but I really have overspent in the Boden sale this year, it's all got so nice, bastards Grin

XiCi · 15/08/2016 19:32

Looks great on you. Definitely a keeper!

InWithTheOutlaws · 15/08/2016 19:39

Ooh, you look lovely! I ordered that a couple of days ago in the blue/black, waiting to receive it...am only 5'0 so it may be a bit dumpy on me!
