to think the latest Boden catalogue

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

is dull dull dull God it's all SO unsexy and all the dresses look like printed binbags

[Lovecat]

YANBU. Largely vile and only seem to be using 3 models. And horrifically expensive compared with the blokes clothing at the back (their jumpers are £65, a similar women's one is £98!)

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

I'm going to email JB himself and ask him what he's playing at. I wonder if I can lure him on to here....

[horridhobo]

I think YABU for expecting Boden to be sexy!! It's just not what they do....

[addie81]

that's so funny - its the first catalogue I have had from boden in ages which I have actually wanted to buy anything from - I have identified £600 worth of stuff I want so will have to be a bit selective!, I thought it was a bit of a return to form after a few crap catalogues. I agree that the models are all getting thinner and thinner though, which I object to.

YABU for being surprised it's unsexy

YANBU for not liking the dresses. What's with all the "fun" prints Boden? Not all of us want to look like Scandinavian wallpaper you know!

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

Boden used to be sexy in an understated way, I have masses of Boden stuff from a few years ago but I haven't bought anything for ages purely because none of it appeals now. They used to do gorgeous little flippy dresses and skirts, stuff like that

[Mumsnut]

dd loves the stickers.

I think a few posters who have bought the Copenhagen Tunic (and their Dh's) would disagree

"Tis more expensive this year tho, yes.

[horridhobo]

It's better than the summer one which was depressing imo.

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

Cophenhagen tunic? Off to look for it lol

[pagwatch]

ROFL at Boden and sexy in the same sentence

[LynetteScavo]

Boden Autumn/winter stuff always looks frumpy at this time of year...and the models are too thin. And I'm not usually critical of thin models, but Boden isn't' aimed at 18year olds is it. Most women who buy their clothes will have had children, and therefore curves.

[paisleyleaf]

Boden. Sexy. In the same sentence?
Aunty Mabel from 'Come Outside' more like. But that's the style they always have.

[pagwatch]

Copenhagen tunic ?

[sorky]

Well I'm waiting for it to come. I ordered it purely for the 'luckiness' it seems to be bringing .

Looks like nowt much in the pics, but apparently fab with leggings and boots. I'm short, so might I wear it as a dress if the material is thick enough.

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

Lol do you not remember the silk stuff they used to do? Little silk beaded tops and skirts? Very floaty barely there stuff thats what I used to love from them and their party shoes and dresses

It DID used to do sexy stuff. It hasn't done sexy stuff for aaaaaaaages though I want sexy [stamps foot]

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

what is this luckiness with the copenhagen please?

[Housewife2010]

It's not Auntie Mabel. She's lovely but quite beige. Boden embraces colour!
No hair ribbons at Boden either.

[DarrellRivers]

Clothes look better on slim models
[and runs for cover]

[paisleyleaf]

Housewife, Mabel loves all those prints.

[sorky]

HalfTermHero on the Boden preview thread, described it as a "trouser-arouser"

Couple of others who bought it agreed with her. It's as close to a review as you're likely to find, given Boden are so slow to post reviews (there aren't any up yet)

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

I hate those prints and I hate the applique stuff even more I don't WANT to look 40 going on 2

Johnnie get back to your sparkles and beady bits and feathers and twinkles please and stop trying to turn us into matryoshka dolls

[Mingg]

Minipie - why are you insulting Scandinavian wallpaper?

[2kids2dogsandahorse]

Scandinavian wallpaper looks lovely on Scandanavian walls. Scandanavian wallpaper does not look good on people. It should stick to walls imo
