A Boden linen dress, said to be "perfect for warm days", is now 30% off in the retailer's sale.

The Esme Linen Short Dress was £136 but has now been discounted to £95.20, providing a £40.80 save for shoppers. The pink dress comes with a geometric stamp print on it. The main part of the dress is made out of 80% linen and 20% recycled linen, and is easy to care and maintain as it is machine washable. The dress has a relaxed fit, with an easy shape but not too loose.

The dress is also designed to fall on the knee.

Boden's description of the dress reads: "No time to put an outfit together? The Esme linen mini is the epitome of a stylish throw-on dress. It's lightweight and cut in a tiered design complete with side pockets (of course)."

This dress could be perfect for the summer months, whether you are dressing up for a family gathering, going out to meet friends or heading out for a meal on your holiday abroad.

You could style the dress with your favourite pair of sandals - perhaps of brown or silver colour, to create a completed look.

The dress has received a rating of four out of five stars, with 38 reviews. From superstar gigs to cosy pubs, find out What's On in Wales by signing up to our newsletter here.

One happy customers said: "Love this dress - took to Malaga and was perfect for slightly sunny days. Lovely print and usual Boden quality."

While another shopper said: "I normally wear a size 6 in items but anytime I order from Boden I size up. Beautiful dress and the color is stunning!"

Another reviewer remarked: "I absolutely love this dress -- thank you, Boden, for another great summer staple! The linen is light and breathable, perfect for warm days, and the cut is effortlessly flattering.

"It's one of those dresses you can throw on and instantly feel put together. The blue is vibrant and fresh, and I know I'll be reaching for this one all season long."

But not everyone was happy with their purchase.

One shopper said: "The combination of poofy sleeves with a lack of waist definition joined together to make me look at least twice as wide as I actually am.

"I looked like I was wearing American football pads on my shoulders. As other reviewers have mentioned, the dress was much too tight in the chest, and I worry that sizing up will only add to the width issue.

"As much as I wanted to like this dress, and as great as it looks in the model photos, this one sadly had to go back."
