Shoppers have been raving about the 'perfect' shirt for wearing for work that has now slashed to over half price.
Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt was £66 but is now £26.40, offering a £39.60 save for thrifty shoppers. Even better, the cotton shirt on Boden is £6.60 cheaper than it is at John Lewis, which is currently on sale for £33.
The Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt is adorned with polka dots all over the ivory tee, which is on trend this year. In fact, Vogue has reported the spotty pattern has made a comeback, with the likes of Catherine, Princess of Wales, wearing a polka dot number for the VE Day service in May.

Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt is structured with a little stretch, which means it can skim over your body's natural curves. The shirt is also made out of cotton, which is a breathable material suitable for any weather or season.
And the shirt is designed to fall between the waist and hip, making it an appropriate but comfortable attire to wear all day, especially while you are at work, as some pleased shoppers have pointed out. The Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt comes in four different colours, but only the ivory and navy with abstract dots is currently on discount.
If you want the shirt but in a different style, the basic White shirt, Forget Me Not, Ivory Strip and Cognac, Pained Dot are all sold for £69 respectively. The ivory and navy colour of the dotted shirt makes it a versatile fit, which you can match with pretty much any colours you have in your wardrobe - perhaps navy trousers, a pink flowy skirt, bright yellow culottes or just a casual pair of your favourite denim jeans.
Elsewhere, if you want a more basic looking shirt perfect for work wear, M&S has plenty of options, including its M&S Collection Cotton Rich Fitted Collared Shirt for £17.50. Or if you are looking for a shirt with a more conventionally feminine, Next has the Pink Soft Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt for £28.

Back at Boden, the Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt has received over 150 reviews and 4.0 out of five stars in rating. One customer said: " A beautiful material, in deep navy, looking classy and so well cut. Easy to dress up or down, it's already become a fixture of my wardrobe!"
Another pleased shopper remarked: "This is the work shirt I'd been searching for: tailored but not fussy, professional with a little fun and whimsy. The polka dot print adds playfulness to a fitted work shirt. I love it!"
While another shopper praised it for its "slim fit" and described it as "flattering", and another reviewer described it as a "good wardrobe staple", that worked both for "smart or casual" settings.
"This is my fourth Saskia shirt," another pleased customer noted, but begged the retailer to create more in different patterns. They added: "The shirts are a great fit and added stretch makes them very comfortable to wear. They look great under the Boden tank tops. Please could you do one in a green stripe!".
Another shared the same sentiment: "It is very flattering, slim fit, with slight stretch, short, it is very easy to tuck into skirts and trousers, and layer under thin jumpers. Which is amazing given that there is a glut of oversized shirts everywhere at the moment. I liked the shape so much that bought both colours. Can we have more colours please (no pattern, just plain grown up colours ideally)?"
But not everyone was pleased with their purchase. One shopper said: "Slightly tight around the bust." However, another unhappy customer had a different issue and penned: "Nice shirt but returned as too big."

But overall, most of the customers that reviewed the shirt were happy. One satisfied customer said: "Lovely quality shirt, the tailoring is on point. It fits me well and isn't too tight across the chest or shoulders which some button-down blouses. The dot pattern is striking and the orange trimming detail on the sleeves is subtle but a nice pop of colour."
