A shirt dress is an excellent investment for any wardrobe as they can easily be worn to work and other formal occasions, or dressed down for days off and casual moments. British clothing brand Boden are well reported for offering high quality clothing that will last for years making them a smart high street choice for timeless and hardworking pieces.
At the moment, Boden shoppers can save 15% off all new womenswear styles with the code HHCX. This means the Sarah Cotton Midi Shirt Dress is no longer £139 but more than £20 cheaper, down to £118.15. It comes in five colours – fresh green, black, pink heather, navy stripe and rich chestnut.
Crafted from 100% cotton, it is breathable and lightweight so should keep wearers cool during hot days and stuffy commutes. The Sarah dress has a classic feel with contemporary features including wider sleeves and a self-tie removable belt.
Some people may prefer a shirt dress with longer sleeves, such as Roman’s V-Neck Floral Shirt Dress with three-quarter length sleeves. It retails for £40 and shoppers say it is ‘perfect to wear on a summer evening’.
This adjustable belt on the Sarah dress means customers can cinch in around the waist, or wear it loose and relaxed, depending on the setting and the look they want to achieve. At White Stuff, the Soma Linen Shirt Dress also has an adjustable tie belt.
Currently 20% off and £76 down from £95, the chambray blue linen dress would look amazing with a floppy hat, sandals and sunglasses on holiday, or worn to work with ballet pumps and an oversized tan tote bag.
Boden shoppers have called the Sarah frock their ‘go anywhere dress’ – an item they reach for time and time again. Now less than £120, customers can be sure they will get their money’s worth.
Another person left a mixed review, noting how beautiful the dress is but stating it just wasn’t for them. They said: “First let me say that this dress is gorgeous! The green with the gold buttons and the white stitching makes this dress look so rich! Sadly, the dress just does not suit my body type.
“I am 5 feet five inches and usually wear a US size 12 or 14. I bought this dress in the size 14 and it fit perfectly. Unfortunately the darts in the dress did not flatter my body type. I gave the dress a 4 because there are no pockets. For the price point I want there to be pockets.”
Someone else was pleased with the material and the colour, sharing: “The fabric is a lovely lightweight cotton and the green very nice.”
