I am thinking of ordering it. Would be my first order from Boden

Thanks :)

Right, I went ahead and bought the dress. I actually think it doesn't look too bad on me. I am overweight (just over a stone) and I think the dress hides that a little bit and it also doesn't accentuate my C-section pooch. I bought it in a size 14. Picture attached 😂

It looks nice! Much better than I thought it would.

Changeee1546789 · 23/10/2022 21:37

You look great. I love Boden. V flattering on you op

hattie43 · 23/10/2022 21:42

I think cord is a strange fabric for a dress as it won't have the movement of a lighter material . I like the colours but cord is best for dungarees imo

redredwineub40 · 23/10/2022 22:21

I don't think it looks bad on you either - much better than it did on me.

RogueV · 23/10/2022 22:22

Not usually a boden fan but I love that dress. Black tights and some DMs ✔️

Abcdefgh1234 · 23/10/2022 22:26

Boden its good quality but uts not my style at all. I find it quite tacky. My go to shop always reiss, lk bennet or cheaper version m&s. I like classy look and for me boden its not classy look.

Whistlesandbell · 23/10/2022 22:27

I think it suits you OP and is flattering.

I refer the leopard dress. But the black dress look nice on you OP.

I would only buy a dress that cost that much if I loved it not if I thought it didn't look too bad!! 😂

I think the op was being polite, trying not to blow her own trumpet.
You look great op, I always did say it looked like a nice dress when others were saying it was for size 8s only. 😉

Vaccine001 · 24/10/2022 15:03

Bit frumpy for my taste.

SalviaOfficinalis · 25/10/2022 06:53

It looks nicer on that I thought it would OP, glad you like it.

Donepaying · 25/10/2022 07:33

I like it .. but please don't visit me as my grey and white cat will sit on you ... say no more

Paq · 25/10/2022 07:37

Sorry OP I don't like it 😳 the neckline does nothing for you and all black is so dull.

I agree that the shape is not bad for your figure.

lljkk · 25/10/2022 07:50

I struggled to see what body shapes it would flatter (badly doens't flatter those tall skinny models) but I can see how it suits OP. I don't like the belt, it breaks up the dress lines visually, but I suppose you see the belt least on the black version.

i wonder if it would work well on the larger of nork with a tum they wanted to de-emphasise. The poofy sleeves & collared wrists would drive me batty. Glad you like it, though, OP.

Darcy101 · 25/10/2022 07:53

Looks really nice!

WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere · 25/10/2022 07:54

I agreed with all the negatives until I looked at the other colours. It looks great without the belt and has a good shape

lljkk · 25/10/2022 07:56

Why not this one, OP? Still a multitude of tummy sins that could hide in there.

Yes, looks great! I love the little puffs on the shoulders.

Mirabai · 27/10/2022 17:51

I don’t think it’s particularly flattering or that the belt works.

Walkingtheplank · 27/10/2022 17:57

I love a cord dress but they are not fashionable ( and neither am I)

I have 3 previous season ones from Boden. They do get quite warm so cant wear on a night out somewhere crossed.

Walkingtheplank · 27/10/2022 17:58

Just seen that you bought it. It looks nice on you.

pictish · 27/10/2022 17:58

Nice in the lighter blue with the print. I don’t like any of the other options.

Mirabai · 27/10/2022 18:01

I think this might be more flattering OP
