I think it looks really super. So lovely to have such a selection to choose from.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026910 Mon, 13 May 2019 19:54:11 +0000 Cardiff girl 2026910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fantastic to have such a choice.l really like number one on you best.The shape is flattering and the colour really suits you.l think that you would get a lot of wear out of it as it can be dressed up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026894 Mon, 13 May 2019 17:53:40 +0000 RD 2026894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun ! I like # 3 the best, it has a certain elegance and the shape is very flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026891 Mon, 13 May 2019 17:44:15 +0000 JAileen 2026891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 3 and 4. They’re all good. For whatever reason you’re not liking 4, I’m not seeing it. Too bad about 2. If not for the neckline, it would be great. I hate necklines that are so low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026882 Mon, 13 May 2019 17:08:43 +0000 Anonymous 2026882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1 and 3 are my faves, but 1 especially! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026880 Mon, 13 May 2019 17:06:06 +0000 Lucy 2026880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 for sure! I actually really like #4 too. Is it the print that is making it feel not as special? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026873 Mon, 13 May 2019 16:52:58 +0000 Windchime 2026873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you keep only one, my strong vote is for #1. If you keep two of them, #1 and #3. #1 looks like it was designed with you in mind—the fit and color are fabulous—you have to keep it! (Wow; I’m not usually quite that directive.) </p> <p>How many dresses do you hope to add and for what kind of use? </p> <p>Boden quality is amazing; I found my first Boden dress this winter at Nordstrom Rack; every time I put it on, I’m super impressed with its quality all over again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026843 Mon, 13 May 2019 14:03:30 +0000 AndiB 2026843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love Boden dresses, too!&nbsp; I bought and returned #1 in two colors.&nbsp; I actually loved it on, that ponte is super flattering, the sleeves subline, the fitted bodice perfection . . . but in the end the ponte was a little stiff and that shark tooth hem sort of stood out?&nbsp; It does not seem to do that on you.&nbsp; I love this WAY better on you than on me, and KEEP.&nbsp; I've been eyeing #2, also, but I've ordered (and returned!) enough Boden dresses to have a pretty good sense for when the V is going to be too deep.&nbsp; I loved this one too, but didn't order for that reason.&nbsp; #3 is so pretty on you, I really like it.&nbsp; And I have a Boden dress in the same fabric as #4 that I kept, a lighter knit jersy which has great swoosh (as Angie says!) and I like it.&nbsp; but as others say, if it isn't hitting the right note, send it back.&nbsp; too many other options.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026837 Mon, 13 May 2019 13:45:21 +0000 Anonymous 2026837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You hit the dress jackpot. 1 and 3 are my favorites. You could wear #2 with the sports bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026835 Mon, 13 May 2019 13:43:46 +0000 Bijou 2026835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You really are spoilt for choice - these look great on you. My favourites are 1 and 4, but that was because even thought 3 fits nicely, the fabric looks like it would crush - which would drive me nuts. It is a pretty colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026828 Mon, 13 May 2019 13:36:13 +0000 Angie 2026828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. Fun to see you in these, <b>Gretchen. </b>Thanks fo&nbsp;sharing.&nbsp;<b></b><b></b></p> <p>#1 and #3 are KILLER.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026799 Mon, 13 May 2019 12:52:42 +0000 smittie 2026799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 looks great on you! Wow! I don’t think it’s too low, but you have to feel comfortable.</p> <p>3 is also amazing. Great cut for you.</p> <p>I’m less a fan of 1 and 4 due to neckline not being as flattering as 2 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026753 Mon, 13 May 2019 09:12:12 +0000 StyleDetective 2026753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1&nbsp; is my favourite by far, I think the fit is the best of all the dresses and I think it would look great belted or with a topper.</p> <p>Agree with you that 2 is not for you. For 3, I can't quite work out if the neckline/shoulders aren't quite right, or if it's just the way the dress is sitting in the photo.</p> <p>I love the fit of 4 on you and I think it's good enough to keep, but if it doesn't make your heart sing, send it back!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026741 Mon, 13 May 2019 05:45:45 +0000 karen13 2026741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 4 best too, but I tend to prefer drape fabrics in dresses. 3 is also a winner - nice narrow vneck that isn’t too low and gorgeous color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026729 Mon, 13 May 2019 04:44:18 +0000 Brooklyn 2026729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 3 the best. For similar reasons to Sally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026721 Mon, 13 May 2019 03:36:06 +0000 Suz 2026721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is for sure my favourite. Not only is it a great colour and cut for you, but you also look really happy in it, and I can see you dressing it up or down.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you will feel "fussy" in #2 even with a camisole, pass.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like #3 but have some concerns about fit in the bust/armpit area. It may simply be that the dress needs to hang out a bit or be steamed. If so, it might work. Colour is lovely on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The fit and drape of #4 is fantastic but I wonder if it is available in another pattern or colour. Something about this one doesn't seem to thrill you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026720 Mon, 13 May 2019 03:26:30 +0000 Sal 2026720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first glance 1 is my favourite - the shape and colour are stunning on you.&nbsp; I hope the material is not too warm for your needs.</p> <p>I am with you on 2 - not the right one.</p> <p>I do like 3 - I think this a a gorgeous cool summer dress.</p> <p>4 is okay but I agree you can do better.&nbsp; I think the pattern is too small a scale - a bit conservative.&nbsp; I bought a similar dress - but light coloured - and while I do like it and wear it - I don't feel it is quite perfect.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026718 Mon, 13 May 2019 03:12:08 +0000 kellygirl 2026718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I Love 1 and 4. They’re both slam dunks in my opinion. The green dress has been in my cart for awhile. Absolutely perfect on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026712 Mon, 13 May 2019 01:51:17 +0000 Kathie 2026712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is stunning on you- fabulous fit, flattering neckline, gorgeous with your coloring. #3 has some odd bunching at the neckline. Might be easy to press out. The color is lovely. #4 is a fabulous fit, but the color seems a bit dark. Hope you keep at least one of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026711 Mon, 13 May 2019 01:45:53 +0000 SarahD8 2026711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo Gigi's comments (except that I am happy to wear flat shoes with midis ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026708 Mon, 13 May 2019 01:30:20 +0000 Carla 2026708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #4 get my vote. So, based on what I see above, keep #1 and return the rest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026707 Mon, 13 May 2019 01:18:15 +0000 Staysfit 2026707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like number 1 and 3 the best. The fit looks good on both and I like the colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026705 Mon, 13 May 2019 01:14:54 +0000 Gigi 2026705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, these dresses are fun!</p> <p>My favorites are 1 and 4. But if you're not feeling 4, I'd send it back, unless you have some compelling wardrobe hole that you need to fill.</p> <p>Number 3 looks a little wide in the shoulders/armpit area to me, but maybe that is just the wrinkles in the fabric and the camera angle? The color looks great on you.</p> <p>Do you have heeled footwear to wear with these? I find that when I wear midis, I need to wear a bit of a heel to avoid looking stumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026704 Mon, 13 May 2019 01:03:12 +0000 Lucy 2026704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 and #3 on your &nbsp;- especially #3. So pretty! They look versatile too - can be dressed up for going out, or dressed down with a denim jacket and flats.&nbsp;<br />If you had just shown #4, I think I would have liked it, but it's not as lovely as the other two.&nbsp;<br />I have the low neckline problem with a lot of wrap dresses. I have solved it by buying camisoles in 3 colours and now I just wear one under if needed. I have found wrap dresses too comfy to give up!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-boden-dresses-1#post-2026702 Mon, 13 May 2019 00:50:26 +0000 Gretchen 2026702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After I posted asking for dress suggestions, Angie suggested I look at Boden for some new inspiration.</p> <p>Original post is here:<br /> <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/opinions-please-dresses-for-june" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....s-for-june</a><br /> And already includes 2 Boden options. </p> <p>New orders are<br /> 1. Leonie ponte midi. Angie’s pick, and I really like. Heavier weight ponte than I was expecting, but love the fit.<br /> 2. Cassie jersey midi. Loved the idea: Jersey, wrap, w pockets. Definitely not right for me. That black triangle is a sports bra I put on to show how low the wrap comes.<br /> 3. Tori midi dress. I was pleasantly surprised by the cut. It has princess seaming and the tie is really more of an accent than a needed shaper. It’s 100% cotton, so a stiffer weave than other midis I’ve tried, but I really like the shape.<br /> 4. Alda jersey midi. Great color, but not feeling super special. Would definitely wear, but not sure I’m in love.</p> <p>Would love any feedback! </p>
