      Comments about Boden Women Spring Tea Dress:

      I ordered this dress in the Multi Primrose Hill option, & the print & colors are really smashing. I have a number of bridal showers & brunches/luncheons to attend this summer, & this will be just the dress to wear. While the bright colors make it a fun summer option, the grey background makes it a dark print I could wear into early Fall as well. My one complaint is the side zipper, which became stiff & bulky when I tried to tie the self-belt. It is also unnecessary, given all the loose fabric in the dress. When I took the dress to my tailor she removed the zipper, & now the dress fits beautifully.

        Comments about Boden Women Spring Tea Dress:

        I ordered this dress in the Multi Primrose Hill print. The pattern is so pretty, with "cool" coloring that suits my dark hair and pale skin. I wore this out to a Mother's Day tea and received many compliments on it. I did notice that the slip lining is more constricting than the dress itself, but it hasn't been a problem for me. At the very least, it didn't keep from having to dash across the street when I needed to. Though I did wear the dress with the fabric belt that came with it, I will likely switch to a wide buckle belt the next time. I liked this dress so much that I ordered a second one when this dress came on sale.

          Comments about Boden Women Spring Tea Dress:

          I love Boden fashions. So, when my daughter gave me this dress as a gift, I was very excited. Unfortunately, it made me look like a "sack tied in the middle." Itis not flattering at all. Too blousy, hard to get the belt to make the dress flattering. The only luck I had was to hang the belt loosely to my hips, but even that proved awkward because the belt loops are at the waist. With great sorrow, I must return this dress. I must say, however, it is my very first Boden disappointment.

            Comments about Boden Women Spring Tea Dress:

            I bought this to wear to church in the spring. It is an absolutely beautiful dress! It hits just below the knee which is nice for church. It runs a little large, as I think most Boden stuff does, so make sure you order down a size. I'm a pear shape, and it is very flattering and slimming on me.

            I wanted so much to love this dress as the pattern was gorgeous and the fabric seemed so light but the dress was shapeless. I had to return it back. Boden, please bring this pattern back again in a different style!!!

              I love everything about this dress. I've worn it out to Sunday brunch with a denim jacket and heeled-sandals and to work with pumps; it looked great both times. This dress with these classy prints are classic Boden. Keep it up. I ordered an 8P and it fit wonderfully. I am hourglass (ample hips and chest, tiny waist) and this fit is BEAUTIFUL!

                Comments about Boden Women Spring Tea Dress:

                I got the purple feathers and the print and colors are just gorgeous (as usual for Boden). I put this on and it just makes me feel pretty. I got the 4 regular, which at 5'9" and 125 lbs, fits prefectly. Length is just at the middle of my knee. But you definitely need a belt, as otherwise it is a bit shapeless. I wear mine with a wide leather belt and it looks better than the thin self belt the dress comes with. There are only two complaints: This thing wrinkles like mad, but they do fall out pretty quickly. The slip underneath is tighter than the dress so even though the dress is quite swishy, you are more contricted by the slip. Not a deal breaker, but I do wish it was cut a bit looser on the skirt portion.

                I really liked the fabric and the design but was very disappointed with the size because it did not fit like a petite dress. Unfortunately I had to send it back because it was overall too big.

                  Comments about Boden Women Spring Tea Dress:

                  Was so excited to get this dress because it looks adorable on the model, but when I tried it on it's just okay. I like that it's lined and the neckline and pattern are unique, but the dress is really shapeless. I have a large bust and rear with a small waist and this looked as shapeless as a t-shirt dress on me, even with the belt tied at the waist it just hangs. I'm 130 lbs and 5'9" and ordered my usual 6 Tall and I think it's a bit longer than most Boden dresses. The regular length may have looked better so I may have it hemmed - it currently hits a couple inches below the knee and may look better right at the knee. It's comfortable enough for work that I'll keep it, but I wouldn't recommend it. There are just too many other cuter dresses on Boden and this is my least favorite of all I've ordered.
