Boden strech cotton fabric : do you know if it wrinkles easily?

Aurore

I recently ordered the Boden "Sophia" shirtdress and received it yesterday. The flamingo print is very pretty, the dress quality is flawless, and I think the cut is flattering on me.

Despite all of that, I'm unsure whether to keep it or not. I hate ironing, and I'm afraid I won't wear the dress if it wrinkles too easily.

The fabric is 97% cotton / 3% elastane. Does anyone here own either the dress, or another Boden item in a similar fabric? Does it wrinkle easily?

That is a very pretty dress,I had also seen it in the Boden catalogue and taken an interest although I haven’t ordered it (25%off from Sunday apparently)I m so glad that shirt waisters as my mother would call them are having a moment as I think that they are very flattering to a lot of people.I haven’t got any dresses from Boden in that fabric so can’t help you I m afraid on that point,but I m going to ask you a question now if you don’t mind .What s the length like.?l usually find them too short in a regular length ,by too short I mean above the knee.I hope some else can answer your question positively so you can keep the dress !

I vote give it a whirl. If it were 100% viscose - I'd have said return.

Pretty dress. Fab for a Euro Summer.

Cardiff Girl, I like the "shirt waister" wording! (and I'm also glad they are back, since it's definitely one of my favourite dress cuts)
Length-wise, on me (1m72) the Regular size falls just at the knee like on the model of the photo. They exist in Tall length as well.

Thank you for your insight, Angie!

Hmm, the Boden Richmond Pants are a 97% stretch cotton blend. Not sure if the dress would be exactly the same as the pants, or something lighter weight. I don't find the Richmond Pants to be very wrinkly, but they do tend to attract lint. It's my only complaint about them.
