With spring just a few weeks away in the UK, many fashion aficionados are already longing for airy dresses. However, dressing for this transitional period can be challenging. It’s not quite sundress season but we’re growing tired of our winter attire.
Fortunately, we’ve found a dress at Boden that’s perfect for all seasons. Its versatile style and classic colour palette mean it can be teamed with tights and robust boots during the colder months or paired with heels or sandals as the weather becomes warmer when spring arrives.
What’s more, it’s currently on offer. The Ivy Border Print Midi Dress typically retails for £110, but shoppers can now bag it for an impressive £26.40. The Ivy Dress has so many unique features that it’s difficult to know where to begin.
Firstly, the beautiful boho-inspired print makes it appropriate for both casual and formal events. Its stylish design means it can be worn to work, on holiday, or for an evening out with friends, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It features a fully lined bodice for comfort and non-itchiness and is designed to fall mid-calf. The fit-and-flare design flatters all body shapes, whether you’re petite or tall, curvy or slim. Available in petite, regular or long, the dress can be found in UK sizes ranging from 4 to 16.
The fitted bodice highlights the upper body curves, cinching at the waist to create the illusion of a desirable hourglass figure. The Ivy Border Print Midi Dress from Boden is making quite a statement with its ingenious design that includes an elasticated waistband. An ideal feature for those days when you’re dealing with bloating.
Plus, this fetching frock boasts the convenience of being machine washable. But it’s not just about ease, this Boden delight also features practical side pockets for tucking away your everyday knick-knacks.
Hard to overlook, numerous customers are heaping their praises on the dress, many bestowing it with the highest rating. A pleased customer commented: “Love an easy dress for the office. So comfortable when sitting at a desk for eight hours.”
A different contented shopper conveyed their joy: “My first Boden purchase. I am delighted with it. The fit is perfect (my usual size) and the quality is absolutely wonderful. The perfect spring or autumn dress. A great weight to the dress keeps it looking great all day long.”
Another avid fan couldn’t contain their excitement about their bargain: “Bought this dress in the sale as really not sure about the pattern but so glad I did, what a fabulous dress. Beautiful drape and fit and extremely flattering on a slim frame. I love vibrant patterns over the more drab boring colours so have picked up some wonderful printed dresses in the sale at bargain prices. Have had so many compliments on its first outing.”
One shopper, while appreciating the allure of the Ivy Border Print Midi Dress from Boden, gave it a lukewarm two-star review due to its cut. They warned: “I loved this dress but it’s far too revealing. I so wish Boden would get the cut right – most women do have a curvy chest – we aren’t all a 32 bust (I wish I was).”
When in search of the perfect balance of comfort and style, remember that the fit might differ according to individual body types. Feedback on the newest dress styles is trickling in, with an unhappy customer pointing out an issue and said: “These dresses look great on the model but just awful when you have a normal but bigger chest size. Buying a bigger size dress doesn’t work. A V-neckline flatters, but not when you feel you’re exposing far more flesh than is appropriate.”
Conversely, a delighted shopper provided a glowing report of their purchase and said: “This dress is just perfect for dressing up or down and I’m so pleased with it. It’s a good winter weight jersey and with the ruched waist really gives me a good shape. Contrary to other reviews I wouldn’t consider the neckline to be all that revealing at all (unless you’re a nun). I bought it in the sale and I think I got a real bargain.”
In the realm of boho-chic, Nobody’s Child is making waves with its Black Cord Embroidered Flossie Midi Dress, typically retailing at £120 but currently on offer for a bargain at £72. Another delightful choice is the Dark Denim Floral Embroidered Paso Midi Dress, reduced from £120 to a mere £36, providing customers with nearly £90 in savings. Meanwhile, River Island’s £59 Brown Check Cowl Neck Midi Dress is flying off the shelves.
