Boden has been delighting shoppers with its current summer sale, offering huge discounts on stunning dresses that are perfect for a variety of occasions. Whether in search for a wedding guest outfit or a stylish holiday frock, the fashion retailer has it all, with fabulous savings waiting to be snapped up.
Included in the summer sale is the beautiful ocean blue Lola Blouson Maxi Dress that usually retails at £156. For a limited time, shoppers can add this gorgeous linen-blend floaty number to their wardrobe for £93.60, giving them a saving of £62.40.
Boden says the dress is ‘selling like hot cakes’, highlighting its popularity. It’s available in both regular and petite in sizes four to 22, with the retailer recommending buyers order a size smaller than usual due to the frock running large.

The fit-and-flare Lola Blouson Maxi Dress boasts a flattering deep V-neck with button detailing and a chunky band below the bust. It’s designed to fall to the ankle and has puffy lined three-quarter length sleeves – plus, there’s handy side pockets.
Puffy sleeved dresses are all the rage at the moment, with Nobody’s Child also selling a Red Nova Midi Dress that has this statement feature. Available in sizes four to 18, this frock costs £85 and has a square neckline.

Boden’s Lola Blouson Maxi Dress is available in three other colours and patterns, with some shoppers begging for more. Buyers are full of praise for the ocean blue option, with one person rating it five stars and saying: “Beautiful dress. Being small I ordered the petite size and the length is just right. Have had lots of compliments.”
“Wow, what a dress,” wrote another delighted customer. “I love it and cannot wait to wear it when it warms up. I came back online to double-check it was available in other colours/designs, as I would buy more.
“It fits me perfectly – length and waist – and I love the sleeves. The skirt has just the right amount of swish. Well done on this, now please make it in more designs.”
Sadly one shopper was disappointed with the Lola Blouson Maxi Dress because of the ‘enormous puffy sleeves’. They explained: “Unfortunately the huge puffy sleeves drowned me. I’m only 5’4″ though, so I’m sure on a tall person they would look good.”
In contrast, someone else left a five-star review: “The most incredible dress. It fits beautifully and is incredibly flattering (I thought it might look like a sack on, but it’s cut so well).
“The linen is also really good quality and because it’s linen, you can dress it down as well as up. You could also throw it in a suitcase and it’d just need a shake on the other side as it isn’t a horrible creasy linen… more of a soft rumple.”
