Boden's Amara Embroidered Jersey Dress has garnered a raft of glowing reviews, particularly for its airy fit and summery vibe.
One buyer gave it five stars and branded it "absolute perfection". They said: "The fabric and embroidery quality is excellent. It is heavy and well-made, but still very comfortable.
"I love the pockets, and the length is just right, hitting just above the ankle (I am 5'4" for reference). I got several compliments the first time I wore it."
Another customer appreciated the teal colour but found the fabric 'too heavy for summer', adding: "The cut and flares from waist down make it a little frumpy. I just don't understand how anyone could wear this on a sunny summer day without being hot."
A third buyer remarked: "I am used to Boden sizing now, so although a 14 in high street shops, I went for a 12 and it fits perfectly.
It's super comfortable and so gorgeous - wore it for the first time yesterday and got lots of compliments from strangers."
A fourth shopper concluded: "Beautiful, well-made dress. Perfect petite sizing. Lots of compliments."

'Dyslexia made me feel worthless at school - but it's been a superpower'
Successful businesswoman and author Maddy-Alexander Grout was reduced to tears as a schoolgirl struggling with dyslexia. Having put her shame behind her, Maddy now embraces her differences and is showing support for Jamie Oliver's important new campaign Much like Jamie Oliver, Maddy-Alexander Grout does not look back on her schooldays with much affection. Similarly to Jamie, Maddy had to navigate school life with dyslexia, which saw her unfairly labelled as "stupid" and "slow". Now 41, successful businesswoman and author Maddy has painful memories of crying during spelling tests, and remembers how, even though the words were potentially spelt correctly, "the letters were around the wrong way". Initially, Maddy's teacher believed her difficulties reading from the board were due to short-sightedness, and so she was given a pair of glasses she didn't even need. Maddy, from Southampton, laughingly admitted: "I fudged the test because I wanted to wear them." At the age of six, Maddy was diagnosed with dyslexia, a widely misunderstood learning difference that affects a person's reading, writing, and spelling abilities. As a creative child, Maddy loved drawing, painting and reading, and had a particular love of comics such as The Beano and The Dandy. However, visual learner Maddy found she read in a "different way" from her peers, reading quickly but then having to go back and re-read certain parts. Reading aloud in front of the class was also a nightmare. Maddy told the Mirror: "I used to get filled with absolute dread when the teacher at school used to make you stand up and read in front of the class. I'd always stumble over my words and repeat words or miss words out, and I used to get told off for it, and kind of ashamed." In his one-hour Channel 4 documentary, Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, the TV chef opens up about the challenges he faced as a pupil with dyslexia, pushing for early screenings and better neurodiversity awareness. Speaking with The Sunday Times, Jamie shared that making the doc had been the "most viscerally painful" thing he's ever done, reflecting: "I've seen so many high-flying, talented, grown men cry about this — I've just done it to you — the concept of being worthless (when you're) young is real. It's really triggering." This is something Maddy can relate to all too well. She shared: "I wasn't supported in the right way. I think with the right support, people who are divergent—and you know, that includes dyslexia—can really thrive. So what Jamie is doing to raise awareness is absolutely incredible. I can really relate to how he felt at school because there were times when I felt like that." Following her initial diagnosis, Maddy switched schools as she wasn't getting the help she so desperately needed. She liked her next teacher, who helped her to "thrive", but this was far from the end of her difficulties. In high school, Maddy received external support from an English coach, but didn't receive any extra exam time or other means of assistance now available for pupils who are dyslexic. Maddy recalled: "I remember this one English class being asked to read something from Romeo and Juliet, and I think I actually even got one of the main characters' names wrong. I think I called him something else that was not even in the book, and it was just like, 'Where did that come from? ' "But it was really hard, you know, imagine like standing up in front of 30 people, knowing that you're gonna get it wrong, like that's it, it's scarring, and it does stay with you as a child." Outside of academics, socialising was also a struggle. As a youngster, Maddy suffered the cruelties of being picked on, and also struggled when it came to making friends, "smothering" those she did get close to. At that time, Maddy hadn't yet been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition which often coexists with dyslexia. This common link is something that Maddy, who now works as an ADHD money and business coach, is keen to draw attention to. Looking back with a far better understanding of herself, Maddy now knows there was never anything wrong with her, aware that learning in a neurotypical setting was just a case of trying to "put a CD in a tape player". Considering what she'd say to her younger self, Maddy said: "Believe in yourself, you're not broken, you're just different." Although Maddy is comfortable in her own skin now, it's been a long journey to get there. From her early to late teens, Maddy felt "completely and utterly useless". Her ADHD also affected the way Maddy dealt with money, landing her in £40,000 worth of debt. She was thankfully able to pay this hefty sum off, using self-taught "tips and tricks", which she discusses in her ADHD-focused finance book, Mad About Money. Indeed, as well as accepting her differences, Maddy has learned to embrace them and is eager to show that there are many benefits to having dyslexia and ADHD, which aren't talked about enough. Highlighting how those with dyslexia can often be "really strategic thinkers" and excellent storytellers, Maddy remarked that "lots of dyslexic people go on to be really good entrepreneurs." Pointing at the prime example of Jamie, Maddy noted: "I mean, Jamie Oliver is an incredible entrepreneur. He's not just a chef, he's somebody who is actually going out there and telling his story and changing lives, and that's what I wanted to do with my book. "I think there is a common misconception that dyslexic people are not very clever when actually we are really clever, we just have different brains that process things in a different way." Jamie has spoken out about how entering the kitchen "saved" him, allowing him to carve a path for himself after feeling alienated by the traditional school system. For Maddy, this lifeline was public speaking, a talent which has allowed her to find her voice and speak up for others navigating similar journeys, through channels such as her Mad About Money podcast. Nowadays, Maddy is happy to "show up imperfectly" and encourages others to learn more about their brains so that they can show up as the person they're meant to be. She's also cautioned against shame, urging others to see the strengths in their "different operating systems " instead of flaws. Maddy is now mum to Ben, 10, and Harriet, 6, both of whom have dyslexia. Although she's seen improvements in how dyslexia is handled in modern schools, she believes there's still some way to go. Expressing her wishes for the future, Maddy continued: "I want there to be more education for children. Not just education for children who are dyslexic, but I'd like to see education for all children in school about what dyslexia actually is, so that they don't bully their friends, or they don't have negative conversations or call people stupid. "I want people to actually be talking about the positives about dyslexia as well because I think that's something that's not done enough. I think you need more people who have dyslexia who are successful at speaking in schools. I think that would be a really good thing to show people that you can achieve things and not to see yourself as negative." You can catch Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution on Channel 4 at 9 pm on June 9.

Mirror Daily Digest: Top stories from heatwaves to Brooklyn Beckham speaking out
In this Monday's Mirror Daily Digest, we've pulled together the biggest stories of the day from an volcanic eruption at a tourist hotspot, to an update in the search for Madeleine McCann Welcome to the Mirror's Daily Digest, where we pull together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Monday, we're taking a look at Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz breaking their silence on their ongoing family feud, to the health risks of the eruption of Mount Etna. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola break silence in first interview since family feud exploded This afternoon, our Showbiz team reported that Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz have spoken out for the first time since reports of the Beckhams' family feud broke. Brooklyn Beckham snubbed parents David and Victoria Beckham in a revealing new interview about his marriage. The eldest of the Beckham kids, who is currently embroiled in a family feud, said he has been 'captivated' by wife Nicola Peltz and wanted to marry her within days of their meeting. As the sad rift in the Beckham clan continues to rumble on, Brooklyn has broken his silence in a gushing interview all about his new wife in which he calls her his 'best friend.' Mount Etna eruption health risks from exposure to volcanic gases - key symptoms Earlier today, our News team reported that Mount Etna, which is on the coast of Sicily, had turned black. Our Health team then did a deep dive on possible health risks of the eruption, some of which could potentially be serious. Even if fire, lava and magma are unlikely to make an appearance, volcanic eruptions can pose a major health risk to people in the surrounding areas. This could mainly affect the eyes, lungs and skin through the acidic gases and ash released into the atmosphere. The International Volcanic Health Hazard Network notes that being exposed to volcanic gases can have a range of effects depending on how concentrated it is and the length of time a person is exposed to it. This can include suffocation and death if the CO2 or H2S is concentrated enough. Since 2007, the case of missing girl Madeleine McCann has been ongoing. Our World News team earlier reported some updates in the case, focusing on an upcoming search near the house of the case's top suspect. Fresh police searches are due to start tomorrow near the spot where Madeleine McCann was last seen. German police have requested the searches, expected to take place between Praia da Luz where the three-year-old vanished on May 3, 2007 and a house near the holiday resort where principal suspect Christian Brueckner used to live. A well-placed Portuguese source confirmed this week's operation was scheduled get underway tomorrow but said some preparation work may take place beforehand. He said: 'They will be land searches only. The main objective is to look for any signs of Madeleine's body.' Our News team have reported that Britain is set to be hit by a 400 mile-wide 'Spanish scorcher' as temperatures finally top 30C. After the record spring sizzle, summer is beginning with drizzle and a cooldown this week, with disappointing 16-20C highs over the next few days and soggy spells. But hot air blowing from melting Spain - which has ushered in 40C early summer temperatures across the Iberian peninsula - is due to blow to Britain after the weekend, according to weather maps. BBC Weather has predicted that the mercury will nudge 27C by next Wednesday and other weather forecasters have said 31C will follow, beating the 29.3C hottest day of the year recorded on May 1. Holidaymakers told to wear masks and get jabs as cases of 'new Covid' soar A big story from our Travel team today is reported warnings from a popular holiday spot to be wary of the latest Covid variant. The Thai government has urged people to wear masks, wash their hands, get vaccinated and avoid activity that could spread Covid as a new variant sends cases rocketing, The World Health Organisation has issued a warning over the new variant, NB.1.8.1, which has seen cases soar in countries including Egypt, the Maldives and Thailand. The new strain, which is said to be more infectious than previous variants, has also been found in the US and the UK. Now the government in Thailand has issued a warning after 257,280 cases of Covid and 52 deaths.

New Look shoppers 'immediately fall in love' with 'gorgeous' £23 dress
Customers can save on the "beautiful" summer dress that's on sale in several different colours New Look's latest sale offers shoppers 25% off hundreds of dresses, including a "gorgeous" midi dress praised by customers for its "beautiful quality." The retailer has discounted its popular Red Puff Sleeve Midi Dress from £29.99 to £22.49. The Black Puff Sleeve Midi Dress and Pink Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, which offer the same design in different colours, are also on offer, but the Blue Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is full price at £29.99. Shoppers "absolutely love" the "really comfy" dress, praising its "perfect versatility". However, several reviewers commented on the sizing, and someone thought it was "quite heavy material." Elsewhere, fans of the midi style might prefer Next's £42 Bright Red Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, which is available in several colours and prints. There's also Dorothy Perkins's Floral Shirred Bodice Puff Sleeve Midi Dress, on sale for £31.20, which offers an alternative for fans of floral prints. Shoppers with more room in their budget might like Nobody's Child's Red Rose Print Nova Midi Smock Dress, which is on sale for £71.20, or Boden's Sofia Trim Jersey Midi Dress for £98, which is available in several prints and colours. Nonetheless, New Look customers might fancy the store's newly-discounted Black Puff Sleeve Midi Dress. Its product description says: "The shape of this dress creates an instant sun-ready feel. It has short puffy sleeves and flattering ruching at the bodice before falling loosely to a midi length." Reviewing the New Look dress, a shopper said: "Gorgeous red dress. Bought this in red as its my favourite colour and have worn it casual with flats and dressed up with heels." Someone else praised: "Beautiful quality dress." However, some left criticism. Reviewing the blue dress, a commenter shared: "Nice colour, the fit around the top is a bit odd. It doesn't cover the bra strap area." Another shopper shared feedback on the same dress, writing: "Lovely dress. The colour is as nice as in the picture, and it's a good length for me. Creases very easy!" One more reviewer who purchased the Pink Puff Sleeve Midi Dress commented on the material. They said: "This dress is a gorgeous colour and (after a good iron!) hangs really nicely." That said, someone else replied: "Impressed with material and style- did not look cheap." Another said: "Wonderful dress, dress up or down perfect versatility." Meanwhile, a shopper said they found the fabric heavy and questioned the sizing, but still loved the dress. Sharing their pros and cons, the reviewer wrote: "I saw this dress in the window of the store and immediately fell in love with it. "Unfortunately, they didn't have the right size; they do seem to run slightly bigger, in my opinion. It's a beautiful dress, and it has pockets, which I absolutely love. It's quite heavy material, but looks and feels great."
