Can anyone help identify and authenticate an older Boden shirt dress?

I have a white linen shirt dress from around 20 years ago that I’ve only worn once and want to sell. I believe it’s from Boden - it has Boden woven in white in the collar - see picture, and a code. But the code does not correspond to the item.
Obviously I don’t want to claim it’s vintage Boden if it’s not, even though I am pretty sure it is really.
Please can you help me authenticate this shirt dress? Or point me in the right direction …

Why don’t you contact Boden directly - I bet they can give you the details you need

What about the label down the left side, what does it say? The 'made in china' and size label certainly look like Boden labels.

Also, Boden is not so exclusive that anyone is faking it.

Well I agree, but the selling site insist you must have proof if it’s Biden 🤷‍♀️

Assuming you mean Vinted, they ask for you to show a photo of the label. They aren't going to send the Boden police round to raid your home if you don't have a serial number. Just post the photo like you have.

Picture of the label.
But when I google it comes up with a different dress, hence my hesitation
I am really appreciative of all the help - thank you 🙏🏻

@drspouse - thank you for the reassurance. I guess I’m panicking over nothing!
I’ve added it to Vinted now.

Yeah, @drspouse is correct, just post photos of the labels so people can make their own assessment. FWIW they absolutely look like Boden labels.

Also, AI says this: The Boden WA253 is a popular 100% linen, pintuck tunic-style blouse or dress produced by the British retailer Boden aandthere's a link to an ebay listing with the same linen shirt in a different colour.
