While spring is still a few weeks away in the UK, many of us are already yearning for floaty dress weather.
Dressing for the transitional period can be difficult, as you often want to wear something that is a bit more cheerful, although it’s not the weather for summer clothes. Fortunately, one Boden dress is perfect for all seasons, and it’s on sale.
It is the Ivy Border Print Midi Dress that has been receiving glowing praise for its “vibrant” and “unusual” design. Worth £110, it is now on sale for just £33, saving shoppers a whopping 70 percent and £70 off the RRP.

Its versatile style and timeless colour scheme mean it can be paired with tights and sturdy boots in colder months, and with heels or sandals when the temperature rises, reports the Manchester Evening News.
The unique dress boasts a stunning boho-inspired print that makes it suitable for casual and formal functions. Falling to mid-calf, it also features a fully-lined bodice that means it won’t be itchy and will be comfy for all-day wear.
Designed in a fit and flare shape, it will suit all body types, whether you’re petite or tall, curvy or slim. It also comes with a stretchy waistband for extra comfort, while handy side pockets will be a must-have for quite a few shoppers.
As of writing, the Ivy Border Print Midi Dress is available to buy in sizes four through to 18 in petite, regular and long lengthways. However, the retailer advises it is “selling like hot cakes”, so you’ll need to act fast to avoid missing out.
The midi dress has already won numerous five-star ratings from satisfied customers. One reviewer raved: “Love an easy dress for the office. So comfortable when sitting at a desk for eight hours.”
Another delighted customer shared: “My first Boden purchase. I am delighted with it. The fit is perfect (my usual size) and the quality is absolutely wonderful. The perfect spring or autumn dress. A great weight to the dress keeps it looking great all day long.”
Another added: “Bought this dress in the sale as really not sure about the pattern but so glad I did, what a fabulous dress. Beautiful drape and fit and extremely flattering on a slim frame. I love vibrant patterns over the more drab boring colours so have picked up some wonderful printed dresses in the sale at bargain prices. Have had so many compliments on its first outing.”
However, one shopper who found it “too revealing” wrote: “I loved this dress but its far too revealing. I so wish Boden would get the cut right – most women do have a curvy chest – we aren’t all a 32 bust (I wish I was).”
Another who expressed their frustration at finding the right fit said: “These dresses look great on the model but just awful when you have a normal but bigger chest size Buying a bigger dress doesn’t work. A v-neckline flatters but not when you feel you’re exposing far more flesh than is appropriate.”
Another shopper was delighted with their Boden find, commenting: “This dress is just perfect for dressing up or down and I’m so pleased with it. It’s a good winter weight jersey and with the ruched waist really gives me a good shape. Contrary to other reviews I wouldn’t consider the neckline to be all that revealing at all (unless you’re a nun). I bought it in the sale and I think I got a real bargain.”
