Boden shoppers get 15% off 'beautiful' summer dress that 'hides stomach bulge'
Hailed as 'flattering' and 'comfy' by fans, the Anna midi dress is 'selling fast' on Boden's website - it has 15% off for a limited time
Boden has slashed the price of a 'perfect' summer dress ahead of Britain's next heatwave. Shoppers who have bagged the midi number say it's 'flattering' and 'doesn't show your bra', making it easy for them to wear.
The Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress is currently reduced from £136 down to £115.60 when customers apply the code: PQ4D. This discount takes 15% off the popular frock, along with other full-price styles, but it's only running for a limited time.
With petite, regular and long lengths available in sizes four to 22, the Boden piece has been from soft linen material. It features shoulder smocking that gives way to puff sleeves, as well as a tiered skirt with side pockets. The fit and flare shape of this dress provides structure without being bulky.
Boden's Anna dress comes in an impressive seven colours, including buttermilk yellow, foxglove purple and poppy red, allowing fans to brighten up their wardrobes with ease.
Another high-street brand offering puff sleeve dresses this season is New Look, with this red midi dress delivering a similar look to Boden's at £29.99. Many shoppers have praised its versatility, but one person who found the sizing on the big side said: "You could probably go down a size."
Elsewhere, Nobody's Child has an up to 30% off sale running on heaps of items, including this Red Linen Puff Sleeve Tiana Midi Dress. Now reduced to £120 (was £150), it has short puff sleeves like the Anna dress from Boden and flares out from the waist.
Boden's 'beautiful' linen frock has been designed in an effortless midi length that falls at mid-calf, meaning fans fan style it a number of ways. It has racked up more than 60 reviews on the retailer's website.
One satisfied customer said: "Beautiful dress and colour is lovely. Very well described and an all day to night dress."
A second added: "Flattering as it cinches in below the bust - hides any stomach/hip bulges. Plus pockets. It's a "take you anywhere" dress. Dress up with heels and jewellery to a fancy restaurant, dress down with a denim jacket and trainers/flats to the pub."
Someone else wrote: "I love that the dress is just low cut enough cut to be feminine but still practical (doesn't show your bra!) Very flattering sleeve shape and very comfy."
One person, however, returned the Anna dress as they found it 'too short and stiff'. Their two-star review reads: "The lower half of the dress has lots of material and so I felt rather frumpy in it. I ordered my usual size 10 and my arms are not massive, but the sleeves felt really tight so the dress has been returned."
But another reviewer hailed their Boden purchase as 'perfect in every way', adding: "Another beautiful dress from Boden. It's a great fit, made of lovely fabric, and the perfect length."

"It is a good fit and I would recommend going down a size. A tank top with a bit of a difference with the golden glitter details which I love. I only had it a few days and had already a few compliments." While another shopper had this to say: "Gorgeous quality, good fit, I've got fairly narrow shoulders 5'6 9st for reference and bought XS and it fits great, the shoulders drop over mine and I love that look and the flattering V neck so it works for me.

One shopper said: "This said it was merino wool, so I was excited to order it in the sale, but when it arrived, the fabric was a much rougher, thicker wool and didn't feel as soft as expected. It was also quite boxy despite be sizing down, so unfortunately I had to return it."

Disney theme park rule you should never break according to former cast member
A former cast member at a Disney theme park has said there's one thing she wishes guests would stop doing while visiting, and it can ruin someone's day if you break the unwritten rule When you go to a Disney theme park like Disney World or Disneyland, there are some golden rules you should follow. For example, most people know that adults are banned from dressing up as Disney characters because they might confuse children into thinking they're the real cast members, and there's also a ban on bringing folding chairs and drones into the parks because of the disruption they might cause. But did you know there are also rules about how to interact with cast members? Many of these are unspoken, but there are some things you should never do when you meet the actors and actresses who are dressed up as your favourite Disney characters. Kayla Nicole, a former Disney cast member, shared a video on TikTok in which she highlighted the number one thing she wished people would stop doing when they line up to meet Disney princesses. During her eight years as a cast member, the woman played a number of roles at the park, including Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Merida from Brave, and Cinderella. She said that if you're ever meeting two characters at once, you should never ignore one in favour of the other. She explained: "If you're in a meet-and-greet location like the hall, where you have one princess on this carpet and a different princess on the other carpet, do not skip one to go to the other. "Operationally, that tiny little area between princesses is getting clogged up. But beyond the operational aspect, there's a humanity aspect. How would you feel getting consistently skipped over? With side eyes and smirks and backs turned, not even acknowledging you. "Per our rules, we're supposed to average around 70 seconds for each interaction to make it fair for every family. So if you're skipping a princess, you are saving one minute of your time and potentially causing a world of hurt to that performer." Kayla said that despite the cast members doing everything in their power to embody the character they're playing, they are still real people underneath the costume, and they have real feelings. She also said this can be even more difficult for people of colour playing princesses like Tiana from The Princess and the Frog or Elena from Elena of Avalor. She added: "Imagine you're a person of colour playing Elena or Tiana, the two characters that meet in the hall. In real life, you feel looked over, given fewer opportunities, etc, and then you come to your job and people are still looking over you. "We've had to stop loading the rooms so many times throughout my Disney career because my Elena was crying at how she was being treated. I promise you, you're still going to make that Space Mountain fast pass. "If you're a guest, just walk up, smile, and say hey. The performer should, in theory, take the reins and guide the entire interaction from there on. Just 'yes and' everything they say and it'll be over before you know it." Several commenters on the video shared their own experiences with seeing Disney princesses skipped over, especially when it comes to lesser-known characters. One person said: "Elena was my daughter's favourite princess when we went. People kept skipping her over, and she spent extra time with my little, and we never knew of that princess before." Another added: "I never watched Elena's show, but we had such a great interaction when I met her! I'm glad she took the reins because honestly, I was so nervous about what to say to her. Total sweetheart!"

Shoppers praise Cat Deeley's 'flattering' and 'comfortable' swimsuit
Cat Deeley showcased her sensational figure in a black swimsuit while on holiday in Marbella, and shoppers have hailed the Boden piece as 'extremely comfortable' This Morning's Cat Deeley turned heads as she showed off her pins in a 'flattering' black swimsuit while soaking up the sun in Marbella with hubby Patrick Kielty and their lads, Milo and James. And we've found the exact one-piece she sported for the occasion. Looking every bit the glamourous TV presenter, 48-year-old Cat wowed in the sleek black costume during some paddleboarding with her son Milo. She shared a snap of the sweet moment on Instagram, and while the picture was from a distance, we've sussed out the exact cossie the mum-of-two wore for the occasion. Cat rocked the Evia Ruffle Swimsuit in classic black from celebrity-loved brand, Boden. Priced at £80, it's beloved by shoppers for its 'flattering' fit, boasting lightly padded cups and Powermesh fabric for a slimming effect. It caters to various figures, available in sizes 6-20 and offers both regular and long lengths, reports OK!. Boden's design turns the staple black swimsuit into a fashion statement with chic ruffles that have earned it rave reviews. One customer said: "Looking forward to wearing this stylish swimsuit to the beach this summer. The ruffles are a nice added detail. Great quality and fit." Some swimming costumes aren't good for much other than lounging by the pool, but the Boden number seems to be just as suitable for sunbathing as it is for water activities like Cat's paddleboarding. Another customer remarked: "This suit is so comfortable and stylish. I purchased the Navy stripe for spring break and it was perfect for both lounging, being active in the ocean/pool, and boating. The suit provides coverage without looking matronly. I am eyeing some of the new prints." In addition to the black version, the swimsuit also comes in tulip red and five summer-ready prints, including cherries and lemons, or a green and pink floral design. However, some wearers have complained that the costume is a bit too youthful. One four-star comment read: "Cute but made me look too young. This item fits a tad small. I'm 5'3 and 118 lb. It was cute, and fit well, but something about the ruffles and pattern just didn't fit my personality." Another person wrote: "This is a great swimsuit. It fits beautifully, is extremely comfortable, and is really flattering. I'm getting it in the black as well." Elsewhere, New Look is offering this Black Tummy Control Crinkle Textured Blanket Stitch Frill Sleeve Swimsuit for £23.24 in the sale, while the Black Waterfall Frill Plunge Tummy Control Swimsuit at Next is £38. But shoppers can also save on the Boden piece. The retailer is currently offering 15% off new styles with the code JM7D, which reduces the price to £68. It seems that Cat might still be daydreaming of sandy beaches after returning to This Morning this week donning Next's Black Hardware Detail Halter Top, priced at £39. It stirred a bit of controversy among viewers, with some suggesting it looked a tad too beachy for daytime telly. However, for those planning a seaside getaway this summer, Cat's outfit could be the ideal choice for lounging by the pool or beach. Shop her Next top here, or check out the Boden swimsuit here.
