This dress is beautiful but the fit is different than what I expected. In the photos it seems to have a natural waist but when I tried it on, it was much more like an empire waist dress and therefore much less flattering. The fabric, color, and feel is lovely—but the fit wasn't right for me so I unfortunately had to return. For reference, I ordered a size M and am 5'7" and around 145 pounds. If you have a short torso, perhaps this dress will hit you at your natural waist like it does in the photos. Originally posted on www.boden.co.uk
