Is this dress nice? I am thinking of wearing it with Dr Martens. Do you think it would look nice or not? If not where can I find a nice dress to wear with them? I never wear dresses and want to start wearing more this Autumn,

I like it Grin

WineGetsMeThroughIt · 06/09/2021 22:04

I like it. I've seen the grey and coral version on a few influencers recently and liked it on them. I'm considering getting it, it at 5'4 I feel like it may swamp me

mrsrobin · 06/09/2021 22:06

Lovely :)

Onlinedilema · 06/09/2021 22:07

Yes I like it.

Shuttheblinds · 06/09/2021 22:08

Would it look ok with Dr Martens?

I am quite tall so hoping it would be long enough!

I am the opposite, hoping it wouldn’t look too short.

What are dress lengths like in Boden?

What type of DMs would you wear with it?

Lace-up shoes, boots, Mary Janes? I think it would make a difference.

frizzmonster · 06/09/2021 22:09

I think it will look lovely. .especially if you are tall

Shuttheblinds · 06/09/2021 22:14

I would wear it with DM boots, the lace up classics.

I’m 5’3” and a boden short sits perfectly on me if that helps!

Benjispruce5 · 06/09/2021 22:21

It’s lovely and will look even better as you’re tall. DMs sound good too.

TheHouseILiveIn · 06/09/2021 22:22

I like it

Sickoffamilydrama · 06/09/2021 22:36

I like it and it has pockets!!!!

R0tational · 06/09/2021 22:40

Print is too loud for me, but I glad most people like it

R0tational · 06/09/2021 22:40

*am

Shuttheblinds · 06/09/2021 22:51

I prefer it in the grey colour print i think.

That colour.

I like both colours, but for winter would go for the grey print. It's a really nice dress.

StickyThighs · 07/09/2021 06:05

Lovely! Get both and treat yourself!! 😀

icklekid · 07/09/2021 06:11

Love the grey - I always find the petite length perfect and I’m 5’2 (just!) but I realise that helps@WineGetsMeThroughIt not the op! I think I’d keep an eye out for a 20% off code though they are quite common..!

dontgobaconmyheart · 07/09/2021 06:50

I don't particularly like it for myself, but these things are subjective aren't they! I'd order it and try it on if you like it OP, that's the only way to know and get it out of your system. Fingers crossed it will be what you want it to be, in person.

Girlintheframe · 07/09/2021 07:05

I really like it. Both colours are nice.

Shuttheblinds · 08/09/2021 20:52

Thank you all, I have ordered it in the grey, I will report back when it arrived.

Really like it.

This looks really similar to the £12 in style stacey soleman dress but red instead of green.
