The Boden Maya Kimono Jersey Maxi Dress is a hit among customers, boasting an impressive 4.6-star rating from over 75 glowing reviews. A shopper commented, “Stunning dress and it fits beautifully, my husband was very impressed. Will be lovely to wear on a warm evening on holiday.”

Another customer penned, “This is a fantastic dress. I was worried that high waistline would not be flattering but just the opposite, it is perfect and flattering. I am usually between a 6 and 8 and purchased a 6. Very comfortable and I can’t wait to wear it.”

An additional review reads, “I bought this dress on a whim seeking comfort during the humid months. This dress delivers. The breathable jersey fabric is light, airy, and so-not clingy. The draping is gorgeous and the colours are bright.”

However, there’s a three-star review criticising its ‘low’ cut: “So wanted to love this dress but the neckline is cut just too low for my taste. Just another note, it’s a heavy knit dress.”

The dress also caught the attention from monochrome lovers as one shared: “I was straying outside of my usual comfort zone a bit when I purchased this dress, but wow I’ve wound up loving it. I really love that it gives White Lotus / Palm Springs kaftan vibes but without being completely shapeless. The dress itself has a nice (stretchy) fitted waist but the cut of the sleeves and the skirt keeps that sense of flowing fabric. Best of all, the fabric is just dreamy – incredibly soft to the touch, perfectly drapey and flowy.”
