www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/lucinda-jersey-midi-dress-black-tropical-flamingo/sty-j0815-blk?cat=C1_S2_SH1800 - undecided between flamingo or navy (always my default position!). It looks so comfy!

Flamingo

TriciaMcMillan · 15/04/2021 12:23

Flamingo. A thousand times flamingo!!!

Windowbasket · 15/04/2021 12:28

Flamingo is my gut feeling! I really need to shake myself out of a boring mindset Smile and be less afraid of print! Thanks for your comments!

About 2/3 of my wardrobe is navy, but that dress in the plain navy is a little bit too plain and staid even for me. I think when you have a very simple style like that you need a print or brighter colour to lift it. I like the flamingos.

Flamingo looks fab - go for it !!

Love the flamingo.

PurpleDaisies · 15/04/2021 17:41

I’d definitely choose flamingo too, if it was on sale! £80 seems pretty steep for a jersey dress. I wonder how flattering the length will be.

Please post pics when it arrives!

Ooh they did the casual jersey dress in that flamingo print a few years ago and I bought it. Still wear it quite a lot and I get a lot of comments on it. The fabric makes people smile.

It hurts my eyes

I love the flaming followed by the huge dots, I have a flamingos tote bag

Elsabet · 15/04/2021 22:12

I received the navy and white stripe today, nice length in the petite but too much fabric in the skirt so going back. Nice fabric though.
I also got the Odile dress in navy stripe, that ones a keeper, bring on the sunny weather!

BungleandGeorge · 15/04/2021 22:17

I think the stripes are best, I’m not keen on flamingo

ExConstance · 16/04/2021 11:03

I've got the striped one, looks lovel with denim jacket or navy cardigan. The sizing is very generous, I've no business wearing a 12.

I love the polkerdot and navy stripe. I also like multi stripe.

LadyWithLapdog · 17/04/2021 07:46

Oh, I’ve missed a Boden thread. Time for a browse.

hopeishere · 17/04/2021 07:50

I really wish Boden would show their clothes on a range of sizes.

Dress looks lovely.

I like the Flamingo but personally would go for the navy and brighten it up with a colourful necklace

Spied · 17/04/2021 15:23

Navy and colour with accessories.
White, cream, red, emerald....

Love the dress!

Have you got a 20% code (is that allowed here?)? I've only got a 10% one.
