White Stuff is selling a similar Rua Jersey Shirt Midi Dress that’s currently on sale for £52, down from £65. This frock comes in sizes six to 24 in petite and regular fits, and is available in three eye-catching patterns.
Elsewhere, New Look has a Camel Linen-Look Shirred Waist Midi Shirt Dress available in four plain colours. Priced at £33.99, it comes in sizes ranging from six to 22, but it is only available in one fit.
As the Alexa Linen Maxi Shirt Dress is new, only a handful of Boden shoppers have reviewed it to date. One thrilled buyer wrote: “Perfect summer dress. Fits perfect – roomy, but not overly so. So comfortable and chic.”
A second agreed, saying: “Perfect spring dress. This dress fits perfectly. I love the shirt dress style I’ve ordered from Boden before. The fabric is of high quality. A light linen. Looking forward to wearing it for Easter.”
Unfortunately one shopper wasn’t completely satisfied with the shirt dress, as they explained: “Just received the dress and tried it. The material is light, very pleasant, not see-through, the dress itself is not lined. The 14 petite barely accommodates my bust, I managed to button it up, but there are holes opening and my bra is visible.
“The waistline came big. Had I chosen a size smaller (12), it would have been better, but then the bust wouldn’t have fit at all. However, the belt successfully manages to resolve the problem. The lower part of the dress sits very nice, but the upper part makes me look like an overrisen dough. Next to my big bust are the puffy sleeves, adding more volume. I’ll probably send it back.”
“Beautiful bright blue dress,” another five-star review reads. “Lovely linen material. I purchased the petite, as others have said it is small in the bust area. I may wear a camisole underneath and leave it unbuttoned. Lovely to have dresses made from natural materials.”
