to be curious to know how many of us are middle class mothers who wear Boden?

[Honeydragon]

I always enjoy the wide cross section of opinions, attitudes and experiences on Mumsnet. But other media seems keen to present Mumsnet as white middle class Boden adorned mothers.

I know I'm not, but how many of us are?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but couldn't find anything in the older threads.

[Oggyandthecockroaches]

Guilty!!

[Honeydragon]

I'll get my clipboard.

[Firawla]

nope not me

[zippy539]

Nope -not me.

[Jojay]

Not guilty! Not a single Boden item has ever entered my wardrobe.

[Honeydragon]

Ok, so so far we have been unfairly stereotyped on a ratio of 3:2

[SparklyMartini]

I'm middle class but I don't wear Boden. (I have bought a few bits for the dc in the sale though.)

I never even knew what Boden was till I joined MN; nobody I know in RL ever mentions it.

[southeastastra]

this is like a zombie thread - you're all hiding out in a cupboard wearing boden

[TrillianAstra]

Middle class - yes (but grew up working class)
Mother - nope
Boden - nope

[BluTac]

I'm neither

[BuzzLightBeer]

I'm neither. I'd never heard of boden till I came here, doesn't trade in my country.

[BelleDameSansMerci]

I'm not sure if I am middle class but I would certainly appear to be middle class to the casual observer...

The "problem" with Boden is that it's so easy to wear; it fits; and it seems to last quite well. I hate myself for buying it but I can't find much else I like.

[1234ThumbScrew]

Well I am middle class and I do have some Boden items, but I'd say that I'm not as frumpy as that. Of course I actually thi k I'm quite cool, but I have a dd that makes it quite clear that I'm far from it.

[Checkmate]

Middle class, yep. Mother, yep. Wear Boden, no. I do buy some if their stuff for my DC, but never for myself (not the right shapes for my figure, plus all too samey).

[strawberrycake]

I like to say I'm middle class! I only found out what Boden was recently.

[littleducks]

I'm too young and too poor for boden, but i do buy the kids coats from there

[Miffles]

Middle class: Yes
White: Yes
Boden-wearer: No (Dorothy Perkins mostly, it seems)
Mother: working on it

[pissedrightoff]

White, working class, mother of 1, PG due in May.

Dress almost exclusivley in Tesco clothes.

[upahill]

I too amnot sure if I am middle class or not BUT if I am I DO NOT wear Boden.

BUT NOT BODEN.

[Honeydragon]

This isn't a anti Boden thread or a out yourself in shame at Boden wearing thread Belle

Between a friend in RL who uses Nethuns comments about Mumsnet and a few older posts on here, I began to ponder whether we are being sorely misrepresented by the media.

[MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe]

BODEN

[BelligerentGhoul]

Middle class - nope, although I'm a teacher so I suppose I'm semi-mc now.

Boden - I had two skirts - they were stolen (at different times) off my washing line and now I don't have any. I do think it's got worse and worse over the years, anyway.

Mother - yep.

[Magna]

Not me
