Really lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923297 Mon, 28 May 2018 12:45:11 +0000 Angie 1923297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s hard to see the fit in the pics with the pattern. A little baggy up top yes - but not a train smash. Take it to alterations and see what they say. It should be a straightforward alteration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923294 Mon, 28 May 2018 12:39:49 +0000 lyn67 1923294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep it with the ease! The dress has an&nbsp; unique floral print&nbsp; and quirky sleeves, which can&nbsp; skew to much on the pretty side but if keeping&nbsp; the ease (=not so perfectly tailored) then, IMO can have some edge, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923248 Mon, 28 May 2018 08:49:05 +0000 rachylou 1923248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too like it as-is.

The sleeves, length and fit look good to my eye. Over posting? Definitely not. Your wardrobe is very classy and always a delight to view. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923232 Mon, 28 May 2018 05:50:06 +0000 Katerina 1923232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think it looks good with some fluidity, judged from the pictures.<br /> The dress is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923152 Sun, 27 May 2018 22:01:57 +0000 Anonymous 1923152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really a unique dress and such a pretty print . To my eye it looks easy and a little fluid , which is a good thing . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923151 Sun, 27 May 2018 21:57:35 +0000 kerry 1923151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is an absolutely gorgeous dress!

Is this the petite? With the waist at the current place, I think I’m expecting the dress to be more fitted. But, if it were just a bit higher, I think that might balance the looser fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923108 Sun, 27 May 2018 19:52:05 +0000 Janet 1923108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In fact, I’ll go as far as to say I like the slight mod effect that the looser fit gives. Sort of a Megan Draper from Mad Men look. I would love to rock that style, but alas, it is not meant to be for my body type. I say if you like it this way, it works to my eye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923105 Sun, 27 May 2018 19:48:49 +0000 Amy Isabella 1923105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with Janet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1923018 Sun, 27 May 2018 13:29:56 +0000 Janet 1923018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with jlpp. I don't think it *needs* to be tailored unless you'd prefer it to be that way. If I hadn't seen it on the model, I wouldn't have thought there was an issue.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922988 Sun, 27 May 2018 10:27:09 +0000 Kathie 1922988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks beautiful. I’d take it to a tailor- it might be simple to alter the vertical darts just a smidge for a better fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922857 Sat, 26 May 2018 21:31:40 +0000 Anonymous 1922857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be the outlier, I like it as is. I don’t feel like all items need to be a precisely tailored fit and think fluidity is ok here.<br /> I love the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922854 Sat, 26 May 2018 21:19:19 +0000 kkards 1922854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>no such thing as over posting....i do think its too big, do you have a tailor you trust? i'd take it to them and get an estimate</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922844 Sat, 26 May 2018 20:43:48 +0000 unfrumped 1922844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure what alterations work. For me, the side bust dart can’t be too long or it’s funky. If there just a little roominess sometime it can be taken up in the side seam if the armholes are too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922840 Sat, 26 May 2018 20:36:54 +0000 kellygirl 1922840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's beautiful. It does not look as fitted as it does on the model though. I would weigh the cost of alterations before deciding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922828 Sat, 26 May 2018 20:07:36 +0000 Jane 1922828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very good on you. I don't know about the alterations, but I am with Suz, it could get pricey. I like the print a lot and the sleeve detail.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922816 Sat, 26 May 2018 19:48:41 +0000 Suz 1922816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour and pattern are so pretty on you. (And if you are over posting, so am I. It just got to spring where we live! We have an excuse!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I am not an expert on alterations but I would think that if there are seams it can be undone and redone. The difficulty is that it might also involve removing the sleeves, so it could get pricey.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-boden-dress-return-or-altrer#post-1922812 Sat, 26 May 2018 19:36:42 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1922812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very fond of the color and pattern of this dress. It’s definitely baggy in the bust though and more apparent for being a woven. What do you all think? Is really noticeable? Alterable? (It has two sets of seams in the bust area, once basically a line straight down below each boob and one a line in at a slight angle from the side.</p> <p>(Also I admit I’m over-posting these days) </p>
