Boden's 'shape-defining' shirt dress has 50% off in sale - and it's perfect for autumn

The 'Kate' midi shirt dress has been selling like hotcakes since Boden slashed the price by 50%. Shoppers have praised the style for its modest midi length and a flattering belted waist...

Boden, renowned for its vibrant colours and playful prints, doesn't disappoint with the Kate Midi Shirt Dress. This highly-rated dress is a hit among shoppers, and it's easy to see why, especially when it's on sale. The fashion retailer has cut the price of the Kate Midi Shirt Dress in various designs, including the Red Polka wave and the French Navy, London Town style, by 50%, bringing the total down to a more affordable £62.50. Boden describes the shirt dress as 'selling like hot cakes'.

It's designed in a regular fit to a midi length, which is universally flattering and ideal for autumn when you want a bit more leg coverage without opting for a full maxi. It's completed with a pointed collar and a matching waist belt that can be tightened to accentuate your waist or worn looser for a more casual look, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Thanks to its midi cut, the dress can be paired with virtually any shoes, be it boots, flats, trainers or even heels. For a splash of colour, we're particularly fond of the Heeled Leather Knee Boots. Priced at £230 - admittedly a bit steep - but aren't they just irresistible?

Boden's Kate Midi Shirt Dress now £62.50 here has received an impressive overall star rating of 4.5 out of five from nearly 120 reviews. One shopper gushed: "I now own four Kate dresses. They are perfect. I am so happy I bought the vertical stripe pattern right away because I don't see how it isn't going to sell out. The colours are stand out. The fit is perfect (I am 5'5" a size 14). I am already considering buying the bird print too.

" Another penned: "Fabulous dress. Have been eyeing this all season and now finally got it in the sale. The navy dotty in a 8P is a perfect fit, much smarter and with more shape than other shirt dresses I have. Perfect for work, the unlined fabric and full-length sleeves make this perfect for spring/English summer/autumn. "

While most shoppers are singing the praises of Boden's range, one customer was left underwhelmed by the Kate Midi Shirt Dress due to its 'disappointing' fabric. They remarked: "I am a big fan of shirt dresses and shirts with pockets Love Boden dresses. My size is 8P. This one was just perfect fit, colour, design and tailoring. But was so disappointed with the fabric. It will crease very easily. Also fabric is light so should have had lining underneath. I had to return it. "
