Yet another customer was delighted with their Boden purchase, commenting: “I bought the paisley paradise print dress. I’m size 10/12, 172 cm tall and I bought size 12 petite, which gave me the perfect pin-up look dress length – just a few centimetres below the knee. Great fit, as I like to have a little bit of air between me and a garment, scuba style is not for me.”
They continued: “The sleeve length was ok. Sadly this dress has no pockets. The material is very soft and the print is stunning. I think buttons from the same material or velvet would have been a real game changer. I would have loved the opportunity to get a small piece of the cloth to make my own buttons.”
