Boden summer dress that skims curves and covers upper arms is 'so good' shoppers 'buy all the colours'
Crafted from 100% cotton, this dress features a charming fit-and-flare silhouette complete with practical pockets. Priced usually at £98, the bright blue version is now £58.80 and the jam red version is now £68.60, making them both brilliant options for summer.
The white and woodland green versions of the dress are also available for the full price of £98.
Available in sizes four to 22 across petite, regular, and long lengths, the versatile dress r emains largely available online. With more than 50 reviews contributing to its impressive 4.5-star rating, the Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress is clearly a crowd-pleaser.
A particularly satisfied customer commented: "Love this dress - have it in three colours. Material is so nice and looks very flattering on. Bonus that it has pockets too.", reports the Manchester Evening News.
This sentiment was mirrored by another purchaser who remarked: "So good I have it in three colours."
Not only does the soft fabric and tiered skirt offer a breezy feel, but the border waistband also accentuates a flattering figure and slimmer waist. A lined bodice ensures a smooth and comfortable fit.
Other customers have mentioned receiving praise from strangers whilst sporting the dress. One commented: "Love this dress. Great fit and colour (blue).
"I've even had a stranger in the street stop to compliment me. Sits beautifully by skimming curves but shaping at the waistline without pinching. Love the sleeve length too. Just the right coverage for my top of arms."
However, another found it 'poorly fitting', noting: "It's too big and low at the bust and far too long."
A customer also concurred and returned the garment, sharing: "Unfortunately around the bust area there was to much material and it sat away from my body gaping and exposing my bra."
Those seeking summery white frocks could check our New Look's White Crinkled Frilly Trim Midi Dress priced at £24.99.
This 100% cotton piece is airy with a relaxed silhouette and Bohemian ruffles, whilst Next presents a costlier 100% linen midi dress at £65, featuring stylish shirred elasticated accents.
For something slightly more glamorous, River Island delivers with a bow-adorned White Sleeveless Bow Detail Corset Dress for £46 in black, white or pink.
Style enthusiasts have praised the Boden Anna Double Cloth Midi Dress with one noting: "True to size - beautiful colour. Great item that can be dressed up or down."
Meanwhile, another review stated: "Love it. Very flattering, perfect fit and length. It's quite heavy with the double cloth but excellent quality. I'm sure I will wear it a lot."

Period drama fans rave about ‘best television series' based on beloved books
The period drama has been deemed 'flawless' Period drama enthusiasts are absolutely obsessed with one particular TV series currently available for streaming, whilst viewers have been lapping up another show dubbed the "epitome of charm" and a further programme branded "outstanding" by fans, reports the Manchester Evening News. The series drew inspiration from a collection of novels and writings penned by a celebrated author. Whilst this wasn't the debut television adaptation of the literary works, this particular version has undoubtedly made a lasting impression on viewers. Countless fans have sung the drama's praises on IMDB, with one viewer awarding it a perfect 10/10 rating and declaring: "Flawless In Every Respect!". The enthusiastic reviewer gushed: "At 65 years of age I have seen my share of movies and plays and I would have to say that this series is simply one of the, if not THE best productions I have ever had the pleasure of viewing." "From camera work, through scripting, through character development it was simply beyond compare. The acting was of a level seldom encountered these days, or for that matter, any other days." Another glowing 10/10 review proclaimed: "The series was a sumptuous delight and I will miss my Sunday night's viewing. "The story was brought to life wonderfully, with great direction, amazing costumes and brilliant acting." A third 10/10 review was titled: "Fabulous version of Galsworthy's novel", with the user explaining: "I had never heard of The Forsyte Saga before seeing the mini-series but I enjoyed it so much that I bought the novel, and isn't that really what these adaptations of novels are all about- trying to interest people enough to read the book the movie was based on?". "I'm glad this version wasn't completely true to the novel considering that so many of the characters in the novel are either underdeveloped or so enigmatic that it's hard to have any kind of feelings about them." The Forsyte Saga drew inspiration from Nobel Prize-winning writer John Galsworthy's collection of the same title, which earned him the coveted honour. The 2002 television drama spanned two series with 10 episodes in total, arriving 35 years following the BBC's tremendously popular 1967 adaptation. This fresh take boasted an impressive ensemble cast, featuring the talents of Wolf Hall and Homeland's Damian Lewis, Gina McKee from Line of Duty and Notting Hill, Sherlock's Rupert Graves, Persuasion performer Corin Redgrave, and King Arthur star Ioan Gruffudd. Additional performers included Sarah Winman, Gillian Kearney, John Carlisle, Amanda Root, Julian Ovenden, Alistair Petrie, and Ben Miles, amongst others. The Forsyte Saga chronicled the experiences of three generations of the titular upper-middle-class English family spanning from the 1870s through to 1920. Viewers were taken on a rollercoaster ride through the family's ups and downs, charting their scandals, affairs and more. Lead actor Lewis received heaps of praise, with one viewer penning a 10/10 review: "Damian Lewis made this mini-series for me!". They elaborated: "I truly enjoyed this mini-series. I felt that Damian Lewis' portrayal of Soames was truly award-winning. After seeing him in other roles (most notably Band of Brothers), I am even more impressed with his range." Another viewer chimed in: "I have not seen the original film or read the book, so I have a fresh perspective on this version of The Forsyte Saga. It is a brilliantly acted, emotionally stirring film. Damian Lewis is outstanding." PBS recently revealed plans to remake The Forsyte Saga, with the new series The Forsytes set to debut in 2026, featuring a star-studded cast including Millie Gibson, Tuppence Middleton, Danny Griffin, Joshua Orpin, Jack Davenport, Stephen Moyer, and Eleanor Tomlinson.
