Feedback on my BODEN dresses

if anyone is interested.

Crinkle linen dress- in purple size 8. It's okay but not special. The bust is quite low and a teansy bit tight but a 10 would be too big all over. it is also slightly long for me at 5'3"- would need shortening an inch or two. Very thick linen.

Favourite jersey dress is hideous- blue floral. Has more lime/yellow than appears in photos. Cheap stretchy material and jsut looks frumpy. Got size 10 and fit is okay but too long.

Pleated linen dress size 8- okay but neckline is a bit odd. Bit baggy across back at shoulder height.

Overall, all a bit frumpish so not keeping any.

will have look and then judge comment...hang on...

linen looks quite thin on site...prefer raspberry if i'm honest, grape looks a bit dull?

shame about jersey dress, looks good on site, can't see any lime! looks long fit tbh.

what colour did you get in 3rd dress? looks nice on model but expect would crease like buggery...

Got pleated linen in the blue and yes it creases like mad even just trying it on.

I have discounted all of them,purple
I thought the Favourite jersey one was frumpy.
At 5 ft 3 also I find most Boden dresses too long.

If I do buy any, I take them up by about 1-2".
