Shoppers love Boden’s ‘perfect’ T-shirt dress for holidays, and it’s currently on offer from £52
Boden shoppers can get a “beautiful” £52 T-shirt dress for £39 using a discount code that’s free to access on the retailer’s website. The popular Leah Jersey T-shirt Dress is on offer with the code 7N7G, which offers Boden’s shoppers 25% off everything until Monday, May 26.
The dress is said to be “the very definition of a throw-on-and-go style”, and one impressed customer suggested it is “a perfect dress for the beach.” However, not everyone loved the design. While the pockets proved very popular, some criticised the “shapeless” silhouette and asked for a different fabric.
Beachgoers looking for alternatives might prefer Next’s £10 Cotton Cap Sleeve V-Neck Mini Dress, New Look’s £29.99 Yellow Striped Textured Tiered Midi Beach Dress, or ASOS’ £19.99 COLLUSION check swing beach dress.

Boden’s product description says: “Our Leah dress is the very definition of a throw-on-and-go style. It’s cut from cotton jersey for all-day ease and comfort, while the array of patterns create a sense of playfulness.”
The dress is available in six colourful prints, including stripes, cherries, and fruit. It is available in various sizes, with petite, regular, and long options, though some sizes have sold out.
One happy buyer said: “This dress is so comfortable and I get lots of compliments every time I wear it.” A second shared: “I absolutely love this dress! I purchased the Royal Blue Cherry Ditsy and the colour is very bright and pretty and the style is quite flattering! I’m a larger lady and often have bad luck ordering online but this will be one of my staples this summer!”
Another wrote: “Because I like a longer length I ordered the tall and it fit perfectly!!! The size charts are accurate. The quality of the construction and the fabric is outstanding!!!! I’m going to order another one in different colour!!! I’m a first time customer!!!!”
A tall shopper added: “Ordered the Tall/Long, I am 5’9″ and could have gotten away with the regular length. Blue is beautiful and I received lots of compliments! Pockets are a bonus!”
Elsewhere, a reviewer with mixed feedback replied: “This item fit true to size and was quite comfortable. It was good quality and very cute, but it was just a bit too casual for the occasion I was looking for.”
Someone else said: “I love the colour and design of the rose pink trellis one! I originally ordered a 12 (I am 5ft 10 and around 10 stone) and it was huge – I sized down to an 8 as I preferred it to fit a bit better and am delighted.
“The material is t-shirt-like but that makes it a perfect dress for the beach and to travel with – no creasing, I love the pockets too. It is not lined or anything but will work as a fun little ‘run-around’ dress. I would love to see something similar in a slightly heavier material.”
Another commented: “It is a straight, loose fit; but perfect for casual and holiday wear in the sun. It’s pretty much a long t-shirt, but the neckline and the sleeves elevate it. The fabric feels quite substantial. The pockets really are concealed, you wouldn’t know they are there.
“I do prefer my clothes to have a bit more shape. But the pretty colour and ease of wear make this perfect for holidays. If some additional colours become available I would certainly consider another.”
Less impressed, a different buyer said: “I am so disappointed with this dress. I have multiple other Boden t-shirt style dresses that are perfect, however this one is shapeless, overly big and looks like a sack! Returned! Please Boden will you stop messing with what has worked in the past. I am a size 8.”
A similar response read: “Unfortunately, this dress looks impossible, baggy and unbearable on me. The size is also rather generous. I ordered it in floral pink and blue/white pattern. The patterns are far too eye-catching and not very chic. If so, only works as a nightgown. The jersey quality alone is good and not too thin! Overall, the dress is not worth the purchase price.”
