I have four dresses from Boden to review for you today. All four are comfortable, petite-friendly, and colorful!

Colorful Spring Dresses from Boden
My Sizing: I’m 4’10”, and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″, and 36″. My inseam is 25″ (the measurement from the inside of my leg to my ankle bone). The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online. When referencing my true size, that is often the smallest option available at a brand or petite xxs/00/24. I wear a size 5 shoe.
If you’re not familiar with Boden, before you click into a link, their pieces are investment items. They’re well-made, with attention to detail, and are 100% cotton. The dresses are the kind of items that will last for years, not something you replace every season. I love them for their prints and petite offering. I can’t buy just any dress from anywhere, so having the option of these statement dresses in my size is something I appreciate.
Violet Cotton Dress
I love that this dress is fully lined and that it has pockets. It fits me well overall (I’m wearing it in Petite 0) and I appreciate that the sleeves aren’t overly voluminous – something that I feel is hard to find. This is a pull-on style, with stretch on the back at the waist. In white it is not sheer or see-through and there are little scallops at the chest and waist. The sleeves are slightly puffed and there is elastic at the wrist.

Alexa Maxi Shirt Dress
I absolutely love the print on this dress. It is a maxi length on me that looks best worn with a heel (or wedge). The dress is generous through the body, but cinches in when you tie the included fabric belt. The buttons are functional and it has pockets. The sleeves on this one are puffy, but not overly puffy which is a win in my book. For size reference I’m wearing it here in Petite 0.
Amber Double Cloth Dress
This dress is soft and comfortable. It has small puffed short sleeves, and full stretch through the top and functional buttons. It’s true to size and has an included fabric belt. I think this is a great everyday dress that you can wear with flats!
Clara Cotton Dress
The Clara Dress is a classic shirt dress. In petite, it is a little bit long on me. I can wear it with heels or flats, but I think it would look a little bit better if it was a tiny bit shorter. It is roomy through the body, but cinches in to your size with the fabric belt. The buttons are functional, it has long sleeves that are not puffy at all, and it has pockets. I find it to be true to size and I’m wearing it in petite 0.
