Another shopper reported receiving a flurry of praise for the dress, saying, "Wore this to a daytime work event and tons of compliments," and highlighting its comfort and flattering fit for fuller figures with a strong recommendation. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here .
Yet another reviewer expressed their satisfaction and hinted at a repeat purchase: "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!".
However, not all feedback was glowing. One customer pointed out a mismatch between expectation and reality: "Looks lovely in the photo but the style didn't suit me. The gathered waist made me look huge."
Echoing this disappointment, another review read: "I had such high hopes for this dress but it made me feel frumpy so I have returned it. It was a beautiful dress but just didn't suit me".
However, some shoppers were enamoured with the dress. One customer shared: "I bought size 8 petite which is my usual size. It fits me well across shoulders and sleeves. Not tight and slightly loose.
"The material is good quality and it hangs well. Look forward to wearing on upcoming holiday."
Another satisfied customer wrote: "This is a great dress - I have it in the brown and blue.

"The fabric is lovely - cotton rich so comfortable to wear and has a decent weight to it. It is a flattering shape and I also like the trim detailing. Will get lots of wear out of these I'm sure."

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.

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.

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." Article continues below 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."

Who is Shabaz Ali? The TikTok comedian taking over the Edinburgh Fringe
THE Edinburgh Fringe has kicked off with a bang, with the best and brightest of comedic talent showcasing their acts across the city. One of those bright young talents is TikTok comedian Shabaz Ali. 3 Who is Shabaz Ali? Shabaz Ali is a 31-year-old chemistry teacher from Blackburn. He started sharing his content on his Shabazsays channel back in Lockdown, and quickly amassed a large viewership. Shabaz calls himself the King of Povvos, and refers to his fans as the Povvogang. It is a self-styled name highlighting how his comedy satirises the fetishisation of "poverty" by the out‑of‑touch displays of wealth. This style of comedy meant that Shabaz garnered a follower base of over 2million on TikTok. 3 It also led to the publication of his book. I'm Rich, You're Poor: How to Give Social Media a Reality Check was published in 2024. Each chapter took on a different societal concept (food, beauty, health and cleanliness) with Shabaz flexing his socio-political muscles about his stance on it. He also hosts a podcast, which he hosts with his best friend Sofia in which they discuss everything from pop culture and gossip to the latest news. The podcast was first released in October 2024 and already has numerous seasons. What is his act? 3 Following the release of his book, it was only natural that he took it on the road in his tour. His debut live comedy tour, Shabaz Ali: I Am Rich You Are Poor, is an hour-long chuckle-fest for his fans. It continues on with his criticism of influencers on social media, showing a highlight reel of their "perfect" day and warping followers' ideas. From designer ice cubes to Stanley Cups and their wild and somewhat varied uses, nothing escapes his comedic commentary. In an interview with the Guardian in 2024, the teacher shared his fears for the youth's excessive social media use, comparing it to his teenage obsession with glossy magazines. He said: 'I loved them. The glamour and beauty was so exciting to me, but I knew everything had been retouched and edited. "I didn't compare myself to anything, because I knew the images were manufactured. It was pure escapism." He explained: "But the way kids now are using social media is very different. "I'm not sure how much they know what is manufactured and what isn't.' This was understood while he observed his students as a teacher, watching their minds change and their shorter attention span as a result of social media. The tour finished on April 5, but will have one more outing as it returns to Edinburgh for the Fringe Fest. He will be performing his show in Studio Two at Assembly George Square Studios.
