I have noticed that it goes to just 10P too, which is about what I’d need in a dress not fitted in the hips. I don’t always need a petite , though, as some Boden dresses are short waisted enough for me on their own. I’ve ordered the Nicole as well, and I hope I have better luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-boden-petite-dresses#post-1922711 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:55:15 +0000 Jane 1922711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done - great discipline - keep on with the search. Pity about Boden though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-boden-petite-dresses#post-1922704 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:44:03 +0000 kellygirl 1922704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's so disappointing! I really like the Nicole and was considering it too but knits always seem so casual to me. Good luck on the red dress hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-boden-petite-dresses#post-1922699 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:34:38 +0000 Angie 1922699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great review. Thank you. </p> <p>What a pity they don’t do 12P. </p> <p>*sad face*</p> <p>Glad that you’re discerning about fit. Rock on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-boden-petite-dresses#post-1922633 Sat, 26 May 2018 11:54:26 +0000 bridgie 1922633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, Too bad the dresses stopped just short of being your size.&nbsp; I have not seen anything personally in Boden, but I am impressed with what I am hearing about the quality.&nbsp; I hope you find your printed dress soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-boden-petite-dresses#post-1922630 Sat, 26 May 2018 11:50:28 +0000 Toban 1922630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for this review. I’m sorry that they were just a tad too small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-of-boden-petite-dresses#post-1922624 Sat, 26 May 2018 11:21:52 +0000 Chris987 1922624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Boden dresses arrived. I typically wear a 12P in dresses, but 10P is<br /> the largest petite size they carry, so I ordered all of them in 10P. They were all just a bit too small. Too bad Boden doesn't  go up to a 12P.  </p> <p>the 1st and 2nd finds are dresses in woven fabric with no stretch (linen notch and Leila shirt) and were too tight through the torso and waist. The 3rd and 4th are knits with a bit</p> <p>of stretch (casual jersey and emory which I got in the blue shown ), and were just a touch too tight although more about not being flattering than being strictly “too tight”. </p> <p>The 5th is Nicole, which fits best of the bunch (photos shown) but is still just a little too tight. It's also a bit more casual and much longer than I had in mind.     </p> <p>As Angie and others have said, the quality is fabulous on all of them, with a very nice fabric “hand”, lined bodices, very nice prints etc. I’m glad I’ve now seen Boden first hand. These are all going back but I’ll keep looking and will consider other items from Boden. The red print dress hunt continues. NEXT. </p> <p>  </p>
