Boden's 'very flattering' midi dress with pockets is currently 30% off
Boden has just launched 30% off all its dresses, and shoppers can't get enough of one particular midi that is so 'flattering' and perfect for summer office days
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.

Returning this year on Friday, June 27 with the help of Barclays LifeSkills, the next Dream Big Day will build on the success of 2024's events and be bigger and more impactful than ever. More than just one day, the build up to Dream Big Day focuses on breaking down barriers for the future generation and eliminating the ideas that they can't achieve what they want. The event works with Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 in primary school via strategic lesson plans, assembly guidance and downloadable resources including worksheets, role plays and teaching packs, that will break stereotyping of careers, build pupil's self-belief, resilience, and recognition of their unique qualities for a positive impact in the classroom and workplace. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad On the day itself participating schools will have the opportunity to celebrate careers across every industry, inspiring children to think past limitations and imagine their future and everything they can be. With workshops from businesses and organisations as well as volunteers giving their time to empower the next generation, children can gain hands-on experience, learn from inspiring individuals and discover careers and jobs they might never have heard of before. The event works with Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 in primary school to inspire future careers In 2024, Blackley Academy in Manchester was named Dream Big Day School of the Year, achieving record-breaking student attendance on the day with students across every age group getting involved to celebrate their dream careers. From doctors, footballers, TV presenters and scientists, to teachers, astronauts, chefs and athletes - no dream is too big, and every child is encouraged to dream big. Dream Big Day is inspired by the bright outlook and unlimited aspirations of children—like founder Colin Bell's own daughter, Sofia, who dreams of becoming a professional footballer, and son, Milan, who hopes to be an astronaut. Colin shared: 'We're so excited to bring back Dream Big Day, and to continue breaking down barriers and inspiring children to dream past limitations. 'We firmly believe that no child should feel there is a ceiling which they can't break through. It's our duty to ensure children don't lose that passion for the things they love and to believe they can be anything they want to be. Inspiring young minds and the future work generation means they will learn and grow with the confidence to reach and achieve their dreams. When we Dream Big, anything is possible!' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Last year also saw the backing of key organisations who have returned again to lend support as well as share insights into the range of careers on offer. This year sees the return of key support including headline sponsor Barclays LifeSkills to bring Dream Big Day back for 2025 to help keep children's dreams alive and let them have aspirations to be anything and everything they want. Kate McGoey, Head of Barclays LifeSkills, explained: 'Nurturing the aspirations of children and helping them to develop valuable skills from a young age is vital. We are delighted to be partnering with Dream Big Day again. By working together with teachers, we can help empower, inspire and excite young people to recognise their potential, start to explore diverse career paths, and develop goals for a bright and fulfilling future.' For schools looking to build Dream Big Day into their primary school calendar, the event remains a cost-free initiative that teachers, parents and students can celebrate together. With help to bring the event to life both in and out of the classroom, CareerMap Media Group has support and ideas via the Dream Big Day website for reinforcing the positive and inspiring message with children.
