Boden shoppers praised the ‘perfect’ T-shirt dress, suggesting it is ideal for holidays and day trips
Boden shoppers can save on a “beautiful” T-shirt dress that’s “the very definition of a throw-on-and-go style.” The popular Leah Jersey T-shirt Dress is available for £39 instead of £52 with the code 7N7G. The code gives Boden’s shoppers 25% off everything until Monday, May 26.
The dress has received positive reviews, with one commenter suggesting it is “a perfect dress for the beach.” However, some shoppers have criticised the design, praising the pockets but disliking the “shapeless” silhouette and fabric choice.
Shoppers might prefer Next’s £10 Cotton Cap Sleeve V-Neck Mini Dress, New Look’s £29.99 Yellow Striped Textured Tiered Midi Beach Dress, or ASOS’ £19.99 COLLUSION check swing beach dress. Other styles from Boden include the £45 Amelie Jersey Dress and the £49.50 Eleni Embroidered Short Dress.
Boden’s product description reads: “Our Leah dress is the very definition of a throw-on-and-go style. It’s cut from cotton jersey for all-day ease and comfort, while the array of patterns create a sense of playfulness.” It adds that the dress is 100% cotton, machine washable and designed to fall on the knee. It’s said to have a regular “easy shape” that’s “not too tight”, and it has side seam pockets.
The dress is available in six colourful prints, including stripes, cherries, and fruit. It is available in various sizes, with petite, regular, and long options. However, some sizes are sold out, reports the Mirror.
Reviewing the style, a pleased buyer wrote: “This dress is so comfortable and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it.” Another shared: “I absolutely love this dress! I purchased the Royal Blue Cherry Ditsy and the colour is very bright and pretty and the style is quite flattering! I’m a larger lady and often have bad luck ordering online but this will be one of my staples this summer!”
A third reviewer wrote: “Because I like a longer length I ordered the tall and it fit perfectly!!! The size charts are accurate. The quality of the construction and the fabric is outstanding!!!! I’m going to order another one in different colour!!! I’m a first time customer!!!!”
A tall shopper shared: “Ordered the Tall/Long, I am 5’9″ and could have gotten away with the regular length. Blue is beautiful and I received lots of compliments! Pockets are a bonus!”
Meanwhile, a customer with mixed feedback replied: “This item fit true to size and was quite comfortable. It was good quality and very cute, but it was just a bit too casual for the occasion I was looking for.”
Someone else thought: “I love the colour and design of the rose pink trellis one! I originally ordered a 12 (I am 5ft 10 and around 10 stone) and it was huge – I sized down to an 8 as I preferred it to fit a bit better and am delighted.
“The material is t-shirt-like but that makes it a perfect dress for the beach and to travel with – no creasing, I love the pockets too. It is not lined or anything but will work as a fun little ‘run-around’ dress. I would love to see something similar in a slightly heavier material.”
A different response read: “It is a straight, loose fit; but perfect for casual and holiday wear in the sun. It’s pretty much a long t-shirt, but the neckline and the sleeves elevate it. The fabric feels quite substantial. The pockets really are concealed, you wouldn’t know they are there.
“I do prefer my clothes to have a bit more shape. But the pretty colour and ease of wear make this perfect for holidays. If some additional colours become available I would certainly consider another.”
Less impressed, a buyer responded: “I am so disappointed with this dress. I have multiple other Boden t-shirt style dresses that are perfect, however this one is shapeless, overly big and looks like a sack! Returned! Please Boden will you stop messing with what has worked in the past. I am a size 8.”
A similar response read: “Unfortunately, this dress looks impossible, baggy and unbearable on me. The size is also rather generous. I ordered it in floral pink and blue/white pattern. The patterns are far too eye-catching and not very chic. If so, only works as a nightgown. The jersey quality alone is good and not too thin! Overall, the dress is not worth the purchase price.”
