Boden enthusiasts are over the moon with a spring dress that’s seen its price slashed in the retailer’s latest sale. Those who’ve snagged this gem report it ‘fits perfectly’ and ‘drapes beautifully’, establishing it as a go-to piece they enjoy wearing on a regular basis.
The Hotched Ponte Dress, usually priced at £130, is currently available at half price, coming in at a much more palatable £65 but be quick because the offer won’t be around forever.

The design includes a fully lined bodice alongside hidden side zip and eye-catching contrast piping. True to Boden form, it also comes with handy pockets for stashing those minor sundries.
Labelled ‘classy’ by its admirers, this number is crafted in a universally appealing midi length that falls gracefully between knee and ankle, meaning it’s just as suited to casual days out as it is to upmarket affairs. This style of dress is known for being incredibly accommodating, flattering for women across various body types and sizes, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The Hotched Ponte Dress can pride itself on accumulating more than 20 glowing five-star reviews. One thrilled customer remarked: “Love it. Fits perfectly and the quality of the material is much better than I expected.”
Another customer praised the garment, saying: “This is such a beautiful dress. The fabric is heavy and drapes beautifully, it’s also fully lined. Bought in the sale so a real bargain. Only downside is they didn’t have my size in petite, but the regular size fits nicely (probably better) around my bust, it’s just a bit too long so I may take it up.”

One more reviewer expressed their satisfaction, stating: “I’m totally delighted with this dress. Details such as contrast piping make this dress look classy. Fabulous shades of blue. It’s a perfect weight for winter, spring and autumn. Couldn’t praise a dress more.”
Yet another shopper experienced some fit issues with the Hotched Ponte Dress, commenting in their four-star feedback: “This is a lovely, well made dress that looks better on than off.”
They reported, “Unfortunately I had to return it as it was a little tight around the rib cage. A bigger size would be too big. Also the zip was very hard to do up due to the bulk of material on the band.”
However, there was another who adored their new Boden acquisition, adding: “I love this style of long dress with a slightly higher waistline, and accented bodice. This style suits my figure well. This is the third dress I’ve bought from Boden in this style. Love it.”
