I agree with your comment about the neckline on the Lois being “too much on top” and I think the openness the others will be more flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1928050 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 22:53:54 +0000 Amy Isabella 1928050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just tried the Lois dress and returned it because I had reservations about the neckline too (it was fine on the armholes though). I think it's definitely worth trying the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1928028 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 21:12:18 +0000 Christina F. 1928028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the other comments about sizing up and just ordering the new ones! Someone in my office has the Vanessa and it looks GREAT. (She also has the blue gingham Angie dress - I didn't indoctrinate her, I swear.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1928018 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 20:31:59 +0000 texstyle 1928018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the<br /> Kassidy has the most potential with the Vanessa being next. I don't love the neckline on the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1928005 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 20:01:12 +0000 Sara L. 1928005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad about the armholes.&nbsp; I find too tight armholes to be very uncomfortable.&nbsp; I hope the size up fits.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927996 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 19:31:53 +0000 Angie 1927996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER potential, Kelly. Size up on this dress, and it should be fine. It’s going to be more comfy in hot weather too. </p> <p>Order any of the others that tickle your fancy. Can’t go wrong with free shipping and Boden quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927994 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 19:29:16 +0000 kellygirl 1927994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Smittie. It’s a jersey knit but even so doesn’t have enough give to be comfortable. I leaning toward sizing up:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927992 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 19:26:16 +0000 Anonymous 1927992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is the fabric crisp? If so, I bet you could size up to get the armhole room you need. I really like the dress when the belt is tied. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927988 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 19:18:52 +0000 kellygirl 1927988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz, Karen and Becky. The fit issue is in the armholes again—it’s just too close fitting. I definitely need more ease there. The dress is quite nice—fabric is light weight and seems perfect for summer. The self belt can be removed for a more breezy look too. I’m not 100% sure the neckline is that flattering but it does check the work appropriate box so there’s that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927962 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 17:02:34 +0000 Becky 1927962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style and size you have. Does it feel small somewhere? It looks just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927929 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:18:04 +0000 karen13 1927929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like it fits, what makes you consider sizing up? I like it - looks like a great fabric and very appropriate for work unless there is a taboo on sleeveless.<br /> I like all the other dresses, but Kassidy is my pick for silhouette </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927928 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:12:33 +0000 Suz 1927928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You get free returns, right? Order them all! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>This one does look uncomfortable under the arms. It almost looks that way on the model, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-1#post-1927926 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:04:24 +0000 kellygirl 1927926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this with the blue high low hem floral. I was hoping for a dress with sleeves but thought this one would be work appropriate and not require a topper. Again, since I didn't know how it would fit through the shoulders, I ordered a 6P. I can return and order the next size up or I could try some sleeved dresses...  The sleeved contenders are below--Jessie, Kassidy and Vanessa. I love Kassidy and that v neck style usually works on me and that sleeve length is usually flattering for me. I love the grown on sleeve of Vanessa but am unsure about the neckline and the sleeves--maybe too much on top and maybe too long to be practical? Jessie looks promising just slightly more casual. Would appreciate any thoughts you might have. TIA. </p>
