And I've been eyeing that dress myself. I was just going to get the regular but the length on the petite looks perfect on you. Do you mind sharing your height?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926873 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 15:44:00 +0000 Liz A. 1926873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with everyone on number 2!&nbsp; You can stick a second base cami underneath, and you will be good to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926871 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 15:31:25 +0000 karen13 1926871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another preference for 2. I like the fullness, length and think the elbow sleeve is a nice change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926869 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 15:21:02 +0000 Katerina 1926869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the second dress on you, it’s so chic. You look beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926834 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 14:03:05 +0000 Angie 1926834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. You blew me away with the second dress. Absolutely KILLER GORGEOUS. I love your sandals too. You look elegant, chic and pretty. &nbsp;Sooo nice to you post again. Missed you, <b>kkards</b>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926831 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 14:01:12 +0000 Cardiff girl 1926831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second dress is so flattering and elegant on you,that is the one that I would go for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926808 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 13:33:12 +0000 Becky 1926808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo your doubt about the hip fit in #1. Is the fabric stretchy? If so, I would say the hip is too large for you. I have seen that fit sometimes in dresses that are not stretchy as a way to allow more mobility in non-standing positions.</p> <p>Regarding the band below the bust, as long as it hits below the bust, I think anything from empire (right below bust) to navel can work if the rest of the fit is right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926807 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 13:32:44 +0000 Janet 1926807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 looks a little big on you, but I love #2!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926806 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 13:30:27 +0000 Lesley 1926806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer 2 also; it looks great! I think you're right that something weird is going on with the lower half of version 1, whereas 2 looks elegant and easy to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926802 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 13:26:37 +0000 kellygirl 1926802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both but especially 2. That dress is in my cart. Love the sleeves on that. I love everything about that on you. The first dress looks good but more casual for sure. I wonder if that fabric will relax after washing--that might take care of the hip area. Thanks for sharing. I love these dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926795 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:58:57 +0000 DonnaF 1926795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer #2 on you. I wonder if #1 would fit you better in a 4P? A slip might also help it hang better at the hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926793 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:53:43 +0000 Kathie 1926793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the second one. The first is fine, but it pales in comparison to the second, which is such a perfect fit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926790 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:45:40 +0000 Suz 1926790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 looks like a better fit and is such a gorgeous dress! (Stop tempting me, ha ha).&nbsp;</p> <p>With #1, it is hard for me to see and judge the fit (darn dark colours!). I can't tell if the waist is meant to be slightly empire or not. In any case, I like the second dress better for its elegance. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926767 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:11:50 +0000 lyn67 1926767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ifor wearing exclusively with flats&nbsp; keep nr 1, nr 2 is more elegant but&nbsp; for your height think&nbsp; will need a bit of heel, (1 inch also good)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926763 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:03:50 +0000 LaPed 1926763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 has a certain elegance that #1 lacks -- the longer length, longer sleeves, the way the skirt drapes. I'd go with #2 for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926761 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 12:00:48 +0000 RobinF 1926761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, these both look great on you. Not sure about the hip on the first one, as you said, it does seem to pooch out a little bit. But I think the bust, sleeves and shoulders on both fit beautifully. I also prefer the second one I think, I prefer the slightly fuller skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926757 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 11:54:28 +0000 SarahD8 1926757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both look good, but I prefer #2. The longer length is more elegant. I think it could be dressed up or down as you describe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/very-late-to-the-boden-dress-party-kr#post-1926742 Fri, 08 Jun 2018 10:56:38 +0000 kkards 1926742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1st very sorry for my spotty &amp; low participation on the forum of late— work has been unbelievably busy. And of my boss was promoted 3 weeks ago so I’m covering his role until my new boss starts.<br /> Anyway.... the fun stuff. </p> <p>I really had given up on dresses, but I fell for the Topshop dress Angie recommended earlier this year, and I’ve been eyeing many of the Boden dresses she posted about...and then loving what I saw fellow fabbers posting. Dresses you could move it, sit in, stand it, dresses that looked good, made you look good-without being body con and with length. </p> <p>So here are my 2 for consideration. </p> <p>#1 is 4R. I like the length, not sure if it’s too big around the hip area. I think the bust area fits, but I’m never sure were the band below the bust is supposed to hit—that why I’ve included the awkward bust photo. Do wish dress had pockets </p> <p>#2 was an Angie top pick. This is the 4P. Love the length, &amp; the pockets. The wrap here seems lower than on dress #1, so again I’ve included an awkward bust photo so you could better see that area </p> <p>I’m looking for something that will work for a casual work day, that could be pressed into service for a once in a while dress up occasion.<br /> Looking for feedback on fit etc. </p> <p>TIA </p>
