The Definition of Effortless Style

While reviewers loved the pockets, some criticised the "shapeless" silhouette and fabric choice.

Boden's product description states: "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, includingstripes,cherries,andfruit. It is available in various sizes, with petite, regular, and long options. However, some sizes have sold out, reportsthe Mirror. One reviewer praised: "This dress is so comfortable and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it." A second said: "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 pleased shopper added: "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!!!!" Conversely, someone said: "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!" A reviewer 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." Another buyer added: "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." Someone else with mixed thoughts wrote: "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 shopper said: "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." Another critical reviewer added: "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 alo
