Boden ‘slimming’ midi dress ‘gives slender figure’ and it’s on sale

Worn by the likes of Princess Kate and Kate Garraway, Boden is not short of its share of fashion fans. The premium pieces are on the more expensive side of the high street, however, the brand sometimes run sales where shoppers can get big ticket items for a lot less.

One such item that is currently reduced, now better than half price, is the Pippa Broderie Jersey Dress. It is usually £129, but the navy colour is now down to £51.60 and the green £64.50. 

Pretty as well as practical, the sophisticated midi dress could be worn to work or casually on days off. It’s an elegant number, falling to calf length, with long sleeves, a button-up front and delicate lace broderie detailing. 

Shoppers have praised it for being flattering, in part thanks to the tie belt that cinches the waist in, while still feeling comfortable. It comes in sizes 4 to 22 and in petite, regular or long.

One person said: “I’d wear this to lunch with friends, a meeting with a colleague outside the office, a local casual event, going on a date to a pub or pizza restaurant, to a local gig in autumn or spring. It’s fairly flattering especially from the side, slimming from various angles except for one pocket. I like it.”

However, a petite customer found fault, sharing that the ‘sleeves are far too long’. They could be rolled up for those that have a smaller frame, but this would hide some of the broderie cuff.

Consumers after shorter sleeves, might want to opt for the Annie Midi Jersey Shirt Dress from White Stuff. It was £65 and is on sale for £38 in a charming blue and white print.

Those looking for an autumn-ready dress can find the Corduroy Zip Detail Midi Dress in burgundy or khaki at Roman for £48. Customers say it is ‘very comfortable’ and ‘easy to wear whatever your age group’.

Speaking of corduroy, shoppers are styling their Boden Pippa Dress with this material. Someone left a review that says: “Well cut, this dress gives me a slender, slender, classy figure. Jersey not too thin. The embroidery is very pretty. I pulled out the bottom of the sleeves of my beige corduroy jacket – great. Worn with slingbacks, high heels, boots or tennis shoes! It goes with everything.”
