Boden's Honour Velvet Midi Dress has become a popular choice for festive parties, with shoppers praising its fabric, fit and colour. The dress, priced at £129, is available in sizes 4-22 and comes in three shades: Harbour Blue, Emerald Night and Vintage Rosewood.
Shoppers praise fit and colour
One reviewer wrote: "Wonderful fabric, fits beautifully and the colour is incredible." Another described it as a "beautiful regal looking dress", adding: "Lovely buttons. Love this dress."
A petite shopper said: "Simplicity and opulence, perfect little dress. Bought 8 petite in emerald green. Lovely colour, perfect length. I'm 5'2 and everything sat just right - and so excited to find sleeves that end where my hands begin. The buttons are so pretty and add a subtle extra something to the design. I would also wear this with my own stiff belt rather than the tie one, as an option."
However, one shopper noted the colours were slightly different in person, commenting: "Unfortunately, the color is not as vibrant as in the photos, and the dress is far too long."
Design and details
The dress is made from luxe-looking jersey velvet and features long puff sleeves, a button-down front and a column-style skirt. It is available in petite, regular and long lengths. Its classic shape means it could be worn for a variety of occasions, from winter weddings to Christmas dinners.
