Think the neckline could be a bit high for him especially as the collarbones are showing on the model, too-BUT, to me it looks good, and &nbsp;it is a great &nbsp;dress for cooler weathers, pls. keep!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619515 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:04:14 +0000 rachylou 1619515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is hot! It is, tho, covered up. I suspect this is what DH notices. Men, I feel, like to see open collars... but not too open, mind. Just a peek of collar bone. Lol. No, I'm not sexist at all </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619456 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 02:32:02 +0000 Bonnie 1619456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab in this dress - husbands sometimes take a while to get used to new looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619455 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 02:30:51 +0000 kerlyn 1619455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, the dress looks like it was made for you! &nbsp;Lovely!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619454 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 02:29:08 +0000 Jaime 1619454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fantastic on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619450 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 02:26:45 +0000 Banoffi 1619450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for your feedback. &nbsp;I do wear bright colors in the summer, but (sadly) tend to wear a lot of dark and solid colors in the fall and winter, so maybe that was throwing my husband off. &nbsp;I love that it's fun, comfortable, and has sleeves. &nbsp;</p> <p>Viva - I am usually a size 6 in Boden tops. &nbsp;I ordered both a 6 petite and 6 regular as I wasn't sure how long the dress would be (the model photo made me think it might run on the short side). &nbsp;The petite 6 fit the best on me as far as length. &nbsp;As far as what hosiery and shoes/boots... I need to think about that next! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619410 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 01:19:58 +0000 anne 1619410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619385 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 00:35:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1619385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fantastic on you. Maybe it is a little bolder than your usual style? That might explain DH's reaction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619378 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 00:20:16 +0000 Jjsloane 1619378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you, but of course you have to love it to wear it. And if you DH has planted a seed of doubt it can taint your feeling (been there).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619356 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 23:38:10 +0000 Suz 1619356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks terrific on you. Does your husband maybe not like the colour scheme? Or perhaps it's just a different style to what he is used to on you?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619346 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 23:25:11 +0000 Janet 1619346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you much better than on the model! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619337 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:56:07 +0000 Anonymous 1619337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks better on you than the model. &nbsp;Husbands are sometimes funny, my DH doesn't like everthing I wear, but I don't like everyting he wears either, &nbsp;If it make you feel good wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619336 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:55:13 +0000 viva 1619336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow.

Perhaps it is different than the kind of dress you usually wear? Husbands sometimes have to get used to new fashion.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619317 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:07:41 +0000 Ginger 1619317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look amazing in it! It's very well-designed, which is why it works.&nbsp; If you don't wear this sort of cut or bold color statement often, it might be why your husband reacted so. He's just not sure what to make of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619315 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:06:33 +0000 Banoffi 1619315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie.&nbsp; Just what I needed to hear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619314 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:05:11 +0000 Banoffi 1619314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Joyce.&nbsp; I actually quite like the dress.&nbsp; It is very comfortable and "roomy" enough that I don't feel body conscious in it.&nbsp; It was my husband's reaction that made me wonder if the dress didn't do anything for me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619313 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:04:53 +0000 Angie 1619313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer</p> <p>Look at how that dress GIVES you curves, which is why it also works well on a curvy figure.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619311 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:00:47 +0000 Joyce B 1619311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good on you. How do you feel in it? Is the waistline comfortable for you? You can do a sit down test to find out. I also like that the shape of the dress is good for sitting without fussing like with a sheath dress.<br /> I have a long torso and the waistline of many dresses digs into my lower ribs.<br /> The dress is flattering on you but you need to figure out what is holding you back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-beatrice-dress-kr#post-1619300 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 21:41:57 +0000 Banoffi 1619300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really liked the look of the Boden Beatrice knitted dress that Angie posted in her Weekly Roundup of transitionaliItems last month.&nbsp; Angie said the dress was best on a curvy figure with a defined waist.&nbsp; This is quite the opposite of my body (inverted triangle and somewhat rectangular with no real waist), but I decided to try it anyway with Boden's free shipping and free returns.&nbsp; I tried it on yesterday and my husband's first response was "that's different."&nbsp; I asked him numerous times if he thought it looked OK, but he was very non-committal.&nbsp; So --- I took a couple of photos of me in the dress and would appreciate any feedback on whether it works on me or not.&nbsp; The last photo is from Boden's website.&nbsp; Thanks! </p>
