I generally can’t wear petites in Boden because I’m just on the cusp of petite in terms of height and the waists are usually too short. I may give it a try in regular. I have some floral Bodens but find them a little too girly for work—this solid color (not black) is super appealing and something I could wear to work with a denim jacket or a cropped cardigan for office days. Thanks for chiming in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-elina-dress#post-2028390 Sat, 18 May 2019 20:34:30 +0000 Christina F. 2028390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Boden dresses run short waisted. It’s great for me but I’ve seen complaints about it in the reviews. I think this could be a winner for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-elina-dress#post-2028385 Sat, 18 May 2019 20:24:45 +0000 MsMaven 2028385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you would look great in this dress. The model has broad shoulders and although the waistband doesn’t look adjustable it would look good on a less defined waist. Beautiful color as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-elina-dress#post-2028363 Sat, 18 May 2019 18:55:07 +0000 kellygirl 2028363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Janet. I think I'm having reservations because of trying a similar style ages ago where the seaming sat in a weird and unflattering place--I'm thinking lower than my actual waist? You reminded me of that. It's a gamble but I may try it anyway. My boobage is moderate for sure (practically non-existent) so that shouldn't be an issue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-elina-dress#post-2028349 Sat, 18 May 2019 17:29:40 +0000 Janet 2028349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be worth a try. Fit would need to be just right with that seaming. I wouldn’t even bother because I’m pretty sure I’m too busty for my boobs to fit in those seams, but I could see it working well for a more moderately sized chest. It’s a really cute dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-elina-dress#post-2028342 Sat, 18 May 2019 17:10:25 +0000 kellygirl 2028342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this on Jenn and can't get over the color! I think it would be a great summer dress but am unsure about the grecian style bodice on a IT. Is a defined waist required for this style? For fit, will it matter if you're long or short waisted?&nbsp; </p>
