Boden's 'very flattering' midi dress with pockets is currently 30% off
With a mini heatwave (reportedly) on the way, it's the perfect chance to stock up on a few summer hero pieces and luckily for us Boden has just launched 30% off all its dresses. Not just old stock or last season, we're talking new in dresses from linen minis to printed maxis.
And there was one dress in particular that caught our eye for being the perfect easy-going summer dress. The exact one we're talking about is the Sofia Trim Jersey Midi Dress. Originally priced at £98, this midi is now £68.80 using the code 30WD at checkout.
We spotted a few other styles that we think would be perfect for the summertime, such as the Grown On Tie Trapeze Dress and the Cleo Linen Tie Waist Dress, but it was the Sofia dress we loved the most.
This belted midi is made from an incredibly soft cotton jersey material that ensures ultimate comfort all day long. While the subtle puff sleeves and scallop hem detailing are an extra design detail that really elevate this dress from a boring, everday piece to an elevated, versatile piece.
Additionally, the belt helps to cinch in the waist and create a super figure-flattering shape that will have you feeling confident throguhout the day. And we can't forget the best design detail: pockets! This allows for hands-free movement without the need to take a bag out.
Available in six different colour, shoppers have been praising this midi for its flattering fit and its handy pockets. One shopper wrote: "Did I just find the perfect Boden dress? I think I did. Flattering, great length (I am 6 feet tall), POCKETS! I'll be ordering more colors for sure.
While a second added: "Purchased this dress for office-to-evening days, and it's perfect. Comfortable and stylish." And a third said: "This dress fits so well! Even though I've gained a few extra pounds recently, it does a great job of hiding them. I'm already thinking about getting it in more colors!"
The main criticsm from customers came from the sizing, with a few recommending to size down as the dress comes up on the larger side.
If you're looking for a summer dress that is little more formal, Lipsy's Red Short Sleeve Gathered Waist Underbust Midi Dress, priced at £49, is a great alternative.
Loved by Ranvir Singh this dress is made from a breathable fabric and a features classic midi length that works beautifully with heels or sandals. We also love this Short Sleeve Stripe Midi Dress, £119, from Lisa Tans collaboration with Coast.

Boden's 'gorgeous' £250 coat perfect for autumn now £100
Boden shoppers have been raving about a trench coat that they say is perfect for autumn. The Windsor Heritage Mac was £250 but is now £100, offering a £150 save for fashion enthusiasts. The coat is available in petite and regular fits with UK sizes ranging from eight to 22 while sizes four and six are currently unavailable. The Windsor Heritage Mac comes in a rich hazelnut brown and a "jazzy" checked lining which makes this coat stand out. You could easily style it with a pair of denim jeans, a thin jumper, and your favourite tee underneath for a more completed look. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here. However this coat could also be styled for more formal settings. Boden's description of the Windsor Heritage Mac reads: "Our Windsor heritage mac is just about as British as a cup of tea and queuing. We've taken the classic mac and modernised it with a boxier cut and raglan sleeves, then finished it with a jazzy checked lining that peeks out at the collar and cuffs too." The mac is made out of 100% cotton in the main section while the lining is crafted from 100% cotton. It also comes with functional pockets, as do most of Boden's clothing, but they are tacked closed to help the garment hold its shape. The tacking is designed to be removed. The Windsor Heritage Mac also comes with an oversized look – a loose fitting which means there is plenty of room to move. It is also designed to fall at mid-calf and has a button fastening at the front. While the coat is water-resistant Boden recommends that it is dry clean only. If you are looking for a similar looking coat that is ideal for the autumn but from an alternative retailer Next has the Trench Coat with Contrast Collar in khaki green colour for £85. Meanwhile the Faux Suede Belted Trench Coat in a tan colour from New Look has a cheaper price tag at £45. Back at Boden the Windsor Heritage Mac has received a rating of 4.5 out of five stars based on 29 reviews. "Oh my goodness, could this coat be any more perfect," one customer said. "Beautifully made and the fabric is a perfect weight for an Australian winter. The lining is just that hint of fun that Boden is so well known for. I did downsize this coat as our Winter weather here in Melbourne AU doesn't call for bulking up with a huge amount of layers and I'm glad I did. It will wear perfectly with a shirt and a thin jumper. I purchased a 14 and I normally wear a 16 but I'll still state the sizing is spot on. Extremely happy with this classic Mac." Another buyer reviewed: "I love love this mac coat. It's very high quality, the colour is fabulous and fit is true to size. I prefer a slightly oversized look, so will be exchanging for the next size up. Great value for the money. The checked inside lining is a great touch. Don't wait, get your size before it is gone." A third remarked: "Just what I have been looking for. Can't wait to wear in the autumn. Perfect sizing too". But not everyone was happy with their purchase. One reviewer commented: "Beautiful well made coat with a lovely cheerful check lining. Liked the colour and it fitted true to size. Unfortunately for me it was heavier than I expected, and it was quite a straight coat. I was looking for a lighter more flared shape, so sadly had to return it, but a very nice coat for the right person." However, most were happy with the coat. "Beautiful mac/raincoat," one said. "Excellent quality. Very stylish and wonderful colour with the check adding extra style. I can't wait to wear it. I am just short of 5ft (ordered petite) and it fit perfectly. They say you get what you pay for. Extremely, good value for money. Thank you."
