Boden, renowned for its vibrant colours and playful prints, doesn’t disappoint with the Kate Midi Shirt Dress. This highly-rated dress is a hit among shoppers, particularly when it’s on sale.

The fashion brand has cut the price of the Kate Midi Shirt Dress in several designs, including the French Navy, London Town style, by 50%. This brings the total down to a more affordable £62.50.

Boden describes the shirt dress as ‘selling like hot cakes’. It’s designed in a regular fit to a midi length, offering a universally flattering silhouette that’s ideal for autumn when you want a bit more leg coverage without opting for a full maxi.

The dress features a pointed collar and a matching waist belt that can be tightened to accentuate your waist or worn looser for a more casual look. Thanks to its midi length, the dress pairs well with virtually any footwear, be it boots, flats, trainers or even heels, reports Manchester Evening News.

For a splash of colour, we’re quite fond of the Heeled Leather Knee Boots, priced at £230 – admittedly a bit steep – but aren’t they just irresistible? Crafted from genuine leather, with proper care, these boots should last for decades in your wardrobe.

Boden’s Kate Midi Shirt Dress has received an impressive overall star-rating of 4.5 out of five from nearly 120 reviews. One customer shared: “I now own four Kate dresses. They are perfect. I am so happy I bought the vertical stripe pattern right away because I don’t see how it isn’t going to sell out. The colours are stand out. The fit is perfect (I am 5’5” a size 14). I am already considering buying the bird print too. “

Another shopper penned: “Fabulous dress. Have been eyeing this all season and now finally got it in the sale. The navy dotty in a 8P is a perfect fit, much smarter and with more shape than other shirt dresses I have. Perfect for work, the unlined fabric and full-length sleeves make this perfect for spring/English summer/autumn.”

A different customer noted: “I loved the silhouette of this dress. Fits great, except a little tight across the bosom. If you are trying to define your shape, this is a great fit. Not oversized and very tailored. The print was a bit busy and would prefer this to be in a solid colour. I wear warm colours and thought it was going to be more cream than it was. Definitely blue based and was white instead. Will order this in solid colour. Would love a chocolate brown or camel colour.”

While the Kate Midi Shirt Dress from Boden has received a mix of reviews, one customer was less than impressed with the material, stating: “I am a big fan of shirt dresses and shirts with pockets Love Boden dresses. My size is 8. This one was just perfect fit, colour, design and tailoring. But was so disappointed with the fabric. It will crease very easily. Also fabric is light so should have had lining underneath. I had to return it.”

Conversely, another shopper was thrilled with their Boden find, saying: “I wasn’t looking for you at all and now I have two. Dang it, Boden. Why are your dresses so pretty? I grabbed the Kate dress in navy polka dots and before I even took it off, ordered another colour. I feel so put together and comfortable in this style. Please make more of these for the women who love sleeves and especially love the option of sleeves that can be rolled up.”
