The waist issue is not visible in the pictures at all and you look so beautiful in this dress.<br /> The Magnolia is lovely and the shape is fabulous, but the colour of the Eden is just gorgeous. The Eden is very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954543 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 02:38:08 +0000 Jaime 1954543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color blocked first one is perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954540 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 02:04:47 +0000 catherine 1954540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magnolia for the win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954530 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 01:16:38 +0000 Anonymous 1954530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are gorgeous.<br /> The burgundy might be good for less dramatic days. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954527 Sun, 09 Sep 2018 01:12:37 +0000 Jjsloane 1954527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but if #2&nbsp; bothers you then its a pass. Boden will have more dresses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954408 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 18:11:04 +0000 rachylou 1954408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like them both... the Eden is maybe a little conservative... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954383 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 17:26:34 +0000 Ginger 1954383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A rare unanimous vote. Thank you, everyone, for the confirmation!</p> <p><b>MsMaven</b>, a too-high waist does feel uncomfortable, even when it's not visible to other people.</p> <p><b>JAileen</b>, the colors of the Eden are fascinating. The stripes are blush and chartreuse, not mustard like it looked online. And the wool/cotton knit feels lovely. The fit just feels off.</p> <p>Thank you, <b>Angie</b>! I may wear it to church tomorrow, although it will still be a little warm. Team Wear here.</p> <p><b>LaPed</b>, I think you put your finger on it: the Eden isn't as distinctive. The top in particular is shaped like a crew-neck sweater; it's the sleeve ends and waist that have all the interest.</p> <p><b>Jessikams</b>, that's it exactly. It's such an annoying feeling, even when it doesn't show.</p> <p><b>Bijou</b>, that's a good point. I'm not hurting for dresses so I'm trying to just go for the best nowadays. The red mismatch is very obvious in person, but I tried it to see if I liked the contrast belt as well as the matching one. I think I like the look, too.</p> <p><b>Karie</b>, I suspect I wouldn't reach for the dress, either. And this dress is too pricey to do that with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954326 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 13:37:03 +0000 Karie 1954326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first dress is the keeper. I also have a high waist and a long rise, and a waist that doesn’t fit right always bothers me to the point where I end up not wearing the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954303 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 12:46:41 +0000 Bijou 1954303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Magnolia is spectacular on you. The Eden is nice, but with the waist issue, I would pass on it, as it is not a 10/10 like the Magnolia. I really like the red belt with it, I can't tell that they are different reds online, so it looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954290 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 11:44:22 +0000 citygirldc 1954290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first dress on you.

The feeling will bother you all day.

Please keep.&nbsp; Like Janet said, the burgundy pales in comparison to Magnolia.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954206 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 05:17:09 +0000 Anonymous 1954206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the others. Keep the Magnolia </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954150 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 22:43:44 +0000 LaPed 1954150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, keep the Magnolia! So elegant. Don't worry about the Eden; send it back as it was made for someone else -- and isn't nearly as distinctive anyway.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954147 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 22:36:16 +0000 jussie 1954147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree- the first dress is very beautiful on you. The others don’t thrill me, but actually because of the colour more than the shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954146 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 22:33:28 +0000 Angie 1954146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 = KILLER.

I’m not seeing the problem with the second dress, but since you don’t feel good in it, I think returning it is a good idea. It’s too bad because the colors are interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954110 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 21:22:45 +0000 MsMaven 1954110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Magnolia is magnificent. Definitely keep.</p> <p>I have a similar problem with waistlines often being too high. I think the waist looks fine on the second one, but there is something about the dress I don't like. Seems like a nice dress, but kind of ordinary.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954109 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 21:17:12 +0000 Janet 1954109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That first dress is fantastic on you. The other one pales in comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954094 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 20:40:56 +0000 Elle 1954094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the Magnolia on you -&nbsp; so a keep vote from me.&nbsp; The neckline is very flattering on you and the skirt has enough flare to be very fun.&nbsp; Since you are uncomfortable with the waist placement of the Eden, I'd return the maroon dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-dresses-kr#post-1954091 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 20:23:36 +0000 Ginger 1954091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got in on the Boden fall collection and ordered both the Eden (maroon) and Magnolia (navy) dresses. I was expecting the Magnolia to not work, based on the garment measurements (small hip and fully lined), but that the Eden would be great. </p> <p>It turns out I love the Magnolia. The skirt isn’t as full as I thought it was, but it’s still a good size. The colors and design are terrific. And there’s no fit issue, since both dress and lining are knit. It stretches slightly at the hip and all is well. Since the red is tomato, none of my red shoes or belts will work; but I have navy options as well. </p> <p>The Eden didn’t quite thrill me like I expected. It’s super comfortable and again, I love the design. The skirt is definitely flared, too. But the waist is high. I already have a high waist, and a very long rise. This is at least an inch higher. That means the skirt flares out above my hips. It’s an awkward feeling. I tried belting below the loops and waist seam, but because of it the skirt fullness that looked worse. It’s hard to see in pictures. For the last two I put on my Wolford hose, since they fit very well and the band is appropriately at my waist. In one of the pictures I am pointing to where that band is. </p> <p>So I am leaning toward keeping the navy but not the maroon. I am so confused, though! I didn’t expect to have this issue. And it looks so nice, and feels so nice on, except for that whole waist thing. </p>
