The brown is awful. Quite like the blue and the red/pink.. But the brown is disgusting. Maybe they only got two of them, one crazy person bought one, so that's half the supply of brown dresses gone.

I quite like the blue but that's only because pretty model is wearing it. If she was wearing the shit brown one I'd probably think that looked nice too.

Actually I think the green is even worse than the brown.

Where do they get their fabrics from?

When I've lost some weight and got some money there are several things in the White Company with my name on them.

I was thinking of buying it in the pink. I am having second thoughts now!

YUCK. The brown's awful! Like something Olive from On The Buses would wear. Quite like the blue though.

I don't own anything from Boden. Not one thing. And I can't see anything in the current collection to make me want to change that.

Lulumama, goodness me, look at the turquoise one! Kudos to anyone who could look "sexy" in that!!

You jest now but wait while they all come up in the sale I bet you are clambering for them!! seriously though, when are they going to change their styles? who designs for them, it must be a piss easy job as its the same stuff every season. Im not ashamed to say I buy bits from them, their jeans on my generous body are second to none.

I usually see at least one dress I like in Boden,but not this season

Why are the prints always so big? No good at all for the average woman at 5' 4" and I am just 5' 3".

They are simply hideous. I think some people must have some kind of inverse hideous compass- the more awful the print is, the more covetable it appears to some people!

I had 2 Boden wrapover dresses- one I bought new and the other on Ebay both small leaf pattern-one was brown/cream and the other teal/brown..and do you know- I hardly ever wore them. Can't think of any occasion when I would- too casual for work and too mumsy for out of work.

The green print does remind me of some of the dresses the women wore when I worked in an old peoples' home in my uni holidays. And I don't know why they have the plain colour band round the bottom. I just never order the print stuff.
