As autumn approaches, there’s no need to overhaul your wardrobe completely—dresses remain a versatile and stylish choice year-round. Boden’s Jane Smocked Shirt Dress is proving particularly popular, especially now that its price has been cut in half. Originally £120, it’s now available for just £60, offering great value for such a flattering piece.
This dress comes in two beautiful colors: bright blue and strawberry tart red. Made from 100% cotton, it features a fit-and-flare silhouette that enhances your figure. Available in both petite and regular sizes, it combines a classic shirt collar, an elasticated waist, and handy side seam pockets for both comfort and functionality.
With an impressive 4.6-star rating from 26 reviews, the dress has been widely praised. One happy customer shared, “I bought this to wear to a wedding and it was perfect, it wasn’t see-through. I had so many compliments—a great dress from Boden.” Another said, “It fits perfectly and looks so pretty. I feel very feminine wearing it and the all-cotton fabric is super comfortable.”

Others noted how flattering the dress is around the bust and waist, with one shopper saying, “I wore it to a music festival and received loads of compliments.” Some minor criticisms were raised about the material being a bit stiff, which didn’t suit all body types, but overall, the feedback remains overwhelmingly positive.
For those seeking alternatives, La Redoute offers a Maxi Dress with a Tightened Waist and Shirt Collar, available in black and khaki, now reduced from £59.99 to £32.99. This dress boasts a 4.7-star rating from 30 reviews, with users highlighting its comfort and wrinkle-resistant fabric.
