This dress is incredibly small around the top / bust. I couldn't do the top up it was about 3 / 4 inches too small. I actually hopped on the scales thinking I had put on loads of weight ( I hadn't!) I never normally have an issue with Boden sizing . My daughter tried the dress on and it fit her and she is 2 sizes smaller. I am not sure if this was just a sizing issue with this particular dress or with the actual style. My daughter ended up having the dress as the colour and fabric are lovely. Just a pity re the sizing. Originally posted on www.boden.co.uk
