Boden's perfect summer dress makes shoppers 'feel a million dollars' and it's now £44
Boden's Ivy Smocked Midi Dress is the ideal summer dress for any occasion
The long weekend may be over but there are still a few hours left of Boden's massive bank holuday sale. The retail favourite marked the occasion by releasing a discount code that offers 25 percent off across its entire website.
Even better, it includes items already reduced in price, meaning shoppers can snap up the popular Ivy Smocked Midi Dress in poppy red with a total saving of 54 per cent. Usually priced at £88, the Ivy Dress is now available for just £44.10.
To secure the dress at this price, however, the discount code 7N7G needs to be entered at checkout. But you will need to be quick as the 25 per cent off sale ends at midnight tonight, Tuesday, May 27.
This airy dress features an elegant notch neckline and comfortable smocked waist, making it perfect for both sunny days and cooler afternoons.
The flattering number has been praised for its "fabulous fit", with one shopper saying it makes them "feel a million dollars" while wearing it. The Ivy Dress is available in petite and regular lengths and in sizes four to 22, although sizes 16 to 22 are currently out of stock, at the time of writing.
The machine washable dress boasts a flattering fit and flare design, as well as a swishy skirt that falls to a midi length, making it ideal for both formal occasions and dressy events alike.
Another great option can be found at Roman, with the Red Ditsy Floral Print Fit and Flare Dress available for £36 down from £40 using the discount code SHINE at checkout.
Designed with a relaxed shirt collar and a flattering v-neckline, the dress exudes summer vibes, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Fashion deal of the week
Looking for a new wardrobe staple that will be comfortable all summer long?
The Next's Wide Leg Trousers with linen might be up your street. In fact, they are so popular with other shoppers who say they "can't wait" to wear them when the weather heats up.
Available in a selection of colours and prints, there is a pair for everyone. However, prices do range from as low as £22 to £49, but this does depend on the style that shoppers select.
Ideal for balmy days, these trousers have been designed in a looser fit than usual and have been crafted from a soft material with added linen. Boasting the on-trend wide-leg design, it's no wonder shoppers are calling them "very comfortable" to wear.
They also feature an elasticated waistband that won't dig into the stomach, while two practical side pockets finish the design. A hit for summer, these linen trousers can be paired with flip-flops, loose fitting tops and even swimwear when by the beach.
Available in both petite and regular, they can be bought in sizes eight through to 20. Just a few options shoppers can choose from include a basic black, red and chocolate brown, while vibrant patterns of palm trees and florals are also included.
Multiple colours of the Next trousers boast glowing reviews, as one reads: "Lovely flowing cut, very flattering. Can't wait to wear these when the weather is better!"
A second shopper praised: "Great fit. Very flattering. Can be dressed up or down for day or night wear."
Next's Wide Leg Trousers with Linen range from £22 to £49 and can be bought here.
Boden's Ivy Smocked Midi Dress has garnered an impressive 4.6-star rating from a total of 170 customer reviews. A pleased patron voiced her approval by saying: "Absolutely beautiful dress. So flattering with a beautiful fit. Highly recommended."
Another added their positive thoughts, writing: "I really like this dress, it is a very flattering fit and is very soft and comfortable. I got a compliment the first time I wore it. Definitely go for it if you're in two minds. I ordered an 8 regular and I am 5ft 3 and around 9 stone something."
A different customer shared their satisfaction: "This dress is even nicer than I was expecting. The fabric is a soft, heavy jersey which hangs beautifully and is a perfect fit and length in my usual 10 petite size, coming to low calf on me (at 5'2).

"The colours are gorgeous and pattern eye-catching. It will be perfect for many occasions. A great buy in the sale."
Despite the praise, not everyone was impressed with the Ivy Smocked Midi Dress's colour blend, as one shopper's two-star review reflected: "Did not like the colour combination. It looks much much nicer in the photos than reality."
But countering that opinion, another customer raved about their new Boden acquisition: "Fabulous fit, beautiful colours, great swish factor, even has pockets. Interesting neckline, lovely sleeves, a real 'feel a million dollars' dress."

It's crafted from a lightweight linen blend, providing all the advantages of the airy fabric while being easy to launder and more wrinkle-resistant. Perfect for everyday wear during the warmer months, whether in the UK or on a tropical holiday, the dress features a relatively high neckline at the front and a playful scoop at the back, completed with a split side hem and handy pockets. In other shopping news, customers can enjoy a 20% discount on the Ria Jersey Collared Shirt Dress at White Stuff, now priced at £47.20, reduced from £59. This dress is made from a soft cotton and modal blend and features a peter pan collar and pockets, reports the Manchester Evening News. Alternatively, Roman offers the Linen Mix Shift Dress, available in four prints, for £36, down from £40 when using the discount code JET at checkout.

I did try the next size down because I really wanted the dress but sadly this was too tight across the breast so I ended up paying twice for postage with no dress to show for it."

Boden's new swimsuit looks just like the one Sophie wore in the Mamma Mia movie
"Very figure-flattering on D cups and plenty of coverage" If you're after a swimsuit that mixes summer style with clever built-in support, Boden's new Levanzo Halter Swimsuit in Blue Dahlia is worth a look. With its flattering neckline and Mediterranean print, we think it looks just like the iconic blue and white suit Sophie wore in Mamma Mia. You know, when she was dancing around on the rocks. Her exact swimsuit from the movie is an out-of-stock Michael Kors one, which would have set you back hundreds of pounds. However, Boden's Levanzo suit is on offer for £76. Better yet, use the code JM7D and you can nab it for £64.60 thanks to a summer promotion the website has this week. The halter style of the suit has a definite retro charm. With a ruched front and supportive lining, it's designed to shape without squeezing, and several Boden customers have said the fit is particularly flattering. One reviewer shared, 'Very figure flattering (D cup plenty coverage). I bought the long after reading reviews (I'm 5"5 average body length) and it fitted well. I like a decent chest coverage.' That same customer went back for another colour– a clear vote of confidence. The print itself is Blue Dahlia, a soft floral design in oceanic tones of blue and white. It's a pattern that works equally well poolside or on a beach, and it's not too loud. Paired with a sarong or simple shorts, it has that relaxed, Grecian-holiday appeal without feeling overly styled. In terms of sizing, there have been mixed comments. One shopper noted, 'Far too small,' while another said, 'I ordered two sizes (my usual size and a size up) and went with the bigger size as it gives a bit more chest coverage but would say it's roughly true to size.' So if you're between sizes or after a bit more coverage, sizing up might be the better option. It's also worth mentioning the attention to quality. 'Quality feels great (although I haven't used it yet),' said one reviewer. 'Great customer service — my return was processed very quickly.' The swimsuit is made from recycled materials too, so there's a feel-good factor that goes beyond just the style. For those wondering whether it's a swimsuit for swimming or just for show, the feedback is reassuring. 'Love this costume, really flattering,' one woman wrote. 'I am 52 and a size 12 with a bit of a belly. I felt great in this and think it will get a lot of wear. I think it's fine for swimming too.' It's good to know this one isn't just about looking good on a sunlounger. The price point is a little high, so it's not the cheapest on the high street, but with Boden's track record for durability and customer care, it's likely to last beyond one holiday season. However, if you want to copy Amanda Seyfried's Mamma Mia style, we also love Cupshe's Catalina Crush Floral One-Piece Swimsuit, £28, which has a similar pattern and cut.
