Boden’s latest mid-season sale is enticing fashion enthusiasts with the chance to revamp their wardrobes for the upcoming season, all while keeping to a budget. Among the spectacular deals is the Velvet Trim Maxi Tea Dress which has won praise from numerous customers for its ‘slimming’ effect. Initially priced at £155, it’s now going for just £46.50.
Catering to sizes six through 22 in a standard length, this wallet-friendly frock features a charming all-over ditzy floral print. It boasts a full-lined bodice and a fit and flare silhouette that seamlessly transitions into a sweeping skirt, reports the Manchester Evening News.
With its maxi length, the dress suits various occasions whether it’s office wear, casual outings or semi-formal gatherings thanks to its easygoing, versatile style that can be either dressed down or upped in formality. The Boden Velvet Trim Maxi Tea Dress has received glowing reviews, earning several five-star commendations.
One satisfied customer said: “Super cute dress, makes you look slim. The pattern looks folkloric, even for special occasions. The colours are exactly as in the pictures.” Another happy shopper said: “Love this dress, not as bright as it appears but still a lovely dress, can dress up or down. True to size, great with the pockets.”
One delighted customer raved about the details of a garment and said: “Patterns, fabric mix, velvet trim and cut look very distinctive. The cut is flattering, similar to an empire dress and makes you look slim. The floral fabric is viscose. It’s not too wide and very long, almost down to the ankles. The colours match those on the screen. I’m thrilled.”
However, another shopper was left underwhelmed by the Velvet Trim Maxi Tea Dress, which they branded ‘disappointing’ in a two-star review, saying: “I ordered a size 10 and it was massive. It’s also very low cut at the front. Not a good fit at all so had to return.”
