I hope the skirt will come soon, but the package hasn't arrived to the US yet. I snagged my size on a popback after making the the order with the other three items. <br /></div><br /><div><b>SarahD8</b>, I will try it that way, since you asked! Should be good.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>La Ped</b>, naturally, we have excellent taste. Glad I can be helpful and/or enabling.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Suz, </b>I don't have many dresses with sleeves AND made of a decently thick fabric--and yeah, most of them are from Boden. I got the black in case I needed to go to a funeral (ended up being a memorial service a year later, and we've been asked to wear color).&nbsp;&nbsp; I need to find a way to jazz it up for every day wear.&nbsp; Anyway, I'm guessing you have more winter appropriate dresses than I do, being from the frozen North. But if you are tempted, you probably won't go wrong here. I like the other colorway too, but decided I don't need another Boden red print dress. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Now I just wish I had red booties to pair with the dress! That can't happen for a while, though.<br /></div></p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977614 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 19:43:09 +0000 Suz 1977614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh...these are lovely on you, Christina. I hesitated and hesitated about the dress for myself. It looks sensational on you. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but still feel tempted.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking forward to seeing the skirt also. Another tempting item. Nodding along with your thoughts on its positive 70s vibe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977605 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 19:10:49 +0000 LaPed 1977605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, I have all these items in my Boden cart, so thank you for the reviews!

What a haul!!! You look fantastic and really confident in all of these!! I especially love the jacquard dress with the boots! I am loving jacquard lately: texture + polish. So cool.</p> <p>I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the corduroy skirt. That green color is sooooo pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977556 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 16:33:48 +0000 lyn67 1977556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, killer dress and all!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977543 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 16:09:30 +0000 Christina F. 1977543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div><b>Sisi,</b> thank you so much! <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Angie, </b>it's partly due to you all here on YLF Anyway, it's so lovely to have found a fitted dress that fits me on the top and bottom. VERY rare. Also, it's surprising that the torso is not too long for me on the regular length; I didn't want it to be shorter, so I didn't order petite in this case. The dress stays on my shoulders when I sit, so the torso length seems good. Good dress for a short waist!</div><div><br /></div><div>I'll try the skirt on when I get home from an event tonight, if I'm not too tired. I don't plan to wear it out this week, but you never know. I expect it to be a nice backdrop to some of my printed tops and sweaters, like a winter version of a denim skirt.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Taylor</b>, thank you, I'm glad I now have the tall boots to wear with this dress. I also tried it with my chelsea boots. That looked good, but I needed something dressier for an event tonight.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977541 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 16:08:51 +0000 taylor 1977541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have really gotten some great pieces here ! I am anxious to see the velvet skirt too .<br /> The Winifred dress is beautiful on you , styled with the hose and boots ! Truely FAB ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977526 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:43:01 +0000 Angie 1977526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU HAVE SO FOUND YOUR STYLE GROOVE THIS YEAR.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977525 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:41:32 +0000 Angie 1977525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ROCKING IT ALL, sweet <b>Christina. </b>Thanks for the reviews - I have some Black Friday sales stuff on the way too!<b></b></p> <p>KILLER x2. And I'd love to see the skirt.</p> <p>WOW, the tailored striped top fits beautifully.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am thrilled you like the fit of the dress. I DO TOO. I LOVED the description of your <i>"gently curving womanly belly". </i>It made my day. Totally fab and stylish. Wear the frock with confidence - which I know you already are </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977517 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:21:39 +0000 Sisi 1977517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fab! In my opinion these two outfits are among the&nbsp;best ever. I like how the golden shoes recall the golden stripes of the sweater and the dress is super nice.&nbsp;I like it very much&nbsp;how you styled&nbsp;it &nbsp;with the black boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-boden-black-friday-reviews#post-1977505 Tue, 27 Nov 2018 15:03:20 +0000 Christina F. 1977505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest, I was never going to resist 30% off... </p> <p>Most of what I ordered has come in, except the midi skirt. I don’t much like corduroy, except in a midi skirt! I used to have one I loved. It gives me 70’s vibes, but in the cool tall boots way. Not the polyester leisure suit way. </p> <p>Anyway, on to the items I did get:</p> <p>Sparkle Breton - adorable, nice thick fabric. Sheds a little tinsel, but nothing too bad. This felt dressy enough that I could bring the stripes from my casual style into work. </p> <p>Winifred dress - this is not for someone who wants to camoflauge the tummy! I decided it worked on me only after I tried with hosiery. Now I feel that I when a gently curving womanly belly in it, rather than a pot belly. (I’ve been working on my core due to my back issues, so I guess a positive result is that I can wear this.) lovely thick jersey jacquard fabric, AND it’s also lined. It feels almost like a sweater dress but with more inherent shape to it. This won’t help all the folks looking for a midi dress, but for me, it’s a win. </p> <p>Velvet skirt - no pic of me in this yet, but it’s a good fit and length. The length on the model is accurate for how the R fits me-I am 5’4, but with relatively long legs. I will also only ever wear it with hosiery, probably. I will post a photo later if I can. I expect this to be a winter staple.</p> <p>ETA - added a pic of the velvet skirt and stripe top, per request below. My apartment lighting is terrible so apologies. </p>
