As summer approaches, many are seizing the opportunity to treat themselves and grab some new bits for their wardrobes and the sunnier weather. Whether it’s for work, an occasion or simple day to day life, a staple dress is always a great addition.
Boden clothing is a highly valued brand for women’s, men’s and children’s clothing as they offer quality collections in a number of great colours. Now, shoppers can grab their Alexa Linen Maxi Shirt Dress for £93.60 down from £156 from their website in the colour Rich Emerald Gingham.
The dress is a great option for many shoppers as it comes in both petite and regular fit and is available in sizes UK 4 to 22. It is made from 80% linen and 20% recycled linen, is machine washable and is said to look simple at a first glance but actually has many finer details from the pleated skirt to the puffed sleeves.
The fit of the dress is said to give shoppers a flattering shape and is designed to be maxi length, falling just at the ankle – making it a classy but stylish option. It also comes with side pockets and makes a beautiful outfit, regardless of the occasion.
If this dress isn’t for everyone, there are other brands people can choose from. For example, a shorter option could be the M&S Collection Linen Rich Round Neck Mini Shift Dress for £29.50 in the shade white which comes in sizes UK 6 to 24, is made from linen-rich material and is a regular-fit design which features a sleeveless shape and falls to a flattering mini length. For a denim option, shoppers could try the Midi Denim Dress for £35.99 from Zara which is collared, V-neck with short turn-up sleeves, has a fitted waist and faux front buttons.
Shoppers have rated the Boden dress highly on its website. One person said: “This dress is fantastic! I sized down one size. I am normally a size 8 in US sizing but bought the 6 and it fits perfectly. I am curvy on the bottom and the dress is very flattering and perfect for summer parties or work!”
Another said: “Beautiful vibrant… lovely linen material. I purchased the petite, as others have said it is small in the bust area. I may wear a camisole underneath and leave it unbuttoned. Lovely to have dresses made from natural materials.”
“Beautiful dress, the linen is a nice weight,” said another shopper.
However, not everyone felt the same way as one person wrote: “The waist is high, but not roomy enough for a size C bust, as the buttons pulled with noticeable gaps.”
Another said: “Lovely material but way smaller than it says!”
Despite this, for a high quality dress that is versatile for many occasions, Boden’s Alexa Linen Maxi Shirt Dress sounds like a solid choice.
