High street retailer Boden has the perfect linen summer dress that’s available in seven different colours, and it’s 25% off for a limited time only
I don’t know about you, but I struggle to dress stylishly when the weather is hot. Instead of fussing with different separates, I usually just throw on a cotton or linen dress to look effortlessly chic while staying cool and comfortable.
Linen dresses, like Boden’s Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress, which is currently 25% off in the sale, are worth their weight in gold. They not only look smart, making them perfect for both casual events and fancy occasions alike, they are also incredibly easy to wear without any compromise.
The high street retailer’s linen midi dress comes in eight stunning colours including navy, black and foxglove purple. For those who prefer to wear lighter shades when the sun is shining, it also comes in white and a trendy buttermilk yellow version.
The Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress is priced at £136 but there is a way to get it much cheaper. Those who apply the little-known discount code, 7N7G, to their cart can bag 25% off, bringing the total down to £102, with free delivery included.
The midi dress is made from a super soft linen that wicks away moisture and keeps you cool when it’s warm out. The shoulder smocking gives way to puff sleeves and the tiered skirt with side pockets is the icing on the cake, reports the Manchester Evening News.

The dress boasts a fully lined bodice for comfort and to avoid itchiness, designed to fall mid-calf. The fit and flare design is ideal for all body types, whether you’re petite or tall, curvy or slender.
The fitted bodice accentuates the upper body curves, cinching at the waist to create an hourglass illusion.
Another great choice comes from Nobody’s Child. Priced at £85, the Navy Flossie Midi Dress features a rounded neckline and short puff sleeves. It has a button front with a panelled waist designed to flatter your figure, along with a centre slit for easy movement. Meanwhile, River Island’s Navy Metallic Puff Sleeve Smock Midi Dress has been reduced to just £25, down from £60.
Boden’s Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress has received rave reviews from shoppers, earning an overall star-rating of 4.6 out of five based on over 70 reviews. One happy shopper said: “I would buy this dress again. Perfect summer dress, the purple is a gorgeous colour.”
A second customer wrote: “Previously bought a similar style dress from Quince and the material was stiff and the fit boxy, so I was delighted to find this dress that fit true to size and made of material that conformed to my body. It’s an easy outfit for mornings I am tired but want to feel put together at work. Also cute enough to wear out to happy hour at the end of the day.
“Love this dress,” another person said. ” Very flattering, fits well across the bust and flares nicely in the skirt – not too much material. Lovely material – beautiful colour.”
One customer was somewhat disappointed with the Anna Linen Tiered Midi Dress, giving it three stars and commenting: “The green isn’t as vibrant in person as it is online. The fabric also seemed a little dull and the shape wasn’t as flattering as I’d hoped.”
On the other hand, another customer was thrilled with their Boden purchase, saying: “This dress is a great staple piece to have in my wardrobe – simple, stylish, and easy to dress up or down. The fit is really flattering, especially with the tiered design that gives it a nice shape without feeling too structured.
“The only downside is that it does wrinkle easily, as expected with linen, but that’s part of the fabric’s charm. Overall, a solid go-to for warmer days.”
