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.

Nope, not guilty m'lud.

Debenhams is about as posh as I get, Primani and Matalan labels are more familiar

In my defence, good quality/well fitting lingerie makes most cheap crap clothing fit better.

Yep that's me. Middle class. Mother. Loves my Boden I does.

Also do a mean line in Joules, Monsoon, Laura Ashley, Fat Face and any other Very Middle Class Mummy Clothes you can think of.

Mostly from lack of imagination, enthusiasm and time I would guess.

ok i might sound stupid- i promise im not im just sleep deprived but can someone clarify "middle class" please - i certainly dont wear boden ...

Middle class - probably
White - yes
Mother - yes (of two)
Boden - I have one denim skirt (lovely) and one ruffle t-shirt (not so lovely)

However I tend to buy one or two items from loads of different places. Recent shops include Fat Face, White Stuff, Asda, Debenhams, M&S (no particular order).

SSB we seem to have a lot in common

last thing I bought in Laura Ashley was too tight though, do the clothes come up smaller than other shops?

Stopping the dummy - what do you sit on? A settee, couch, sofa

Lower middle class. White. Hampshire.

No boden, its a bit grown up for me. Although DD does have a mini-boden cashmere cardie hand-me-down that is very much loved.

Usually dotty P's, primark and random finds fron TK Maxx for me.

I'm not sure what middle class is either stoppinchingthedummy I thought I might have been, but have been assured I don't have enough money or the right kind of job

For me? Goodness no i am only 25 . However DD (6) always has a Boden coat and a few bits from there.

Very middle class here and I own two Boden items, one of which I don't wear. So yes, I'm the stereotype. My only defence is the lack of anything Cath Kidston in the house.

Middle class - no

Mother - yes

Boden - no

I have never even heard of Boden. Where do they sell it?

I don't have any Cath Kidston

However I do have some Emma Bridgewater (sorry)

I expect most people would say upper middle class about me. Definitely no Boden, but some labels I wear:

MaxMara
Bottega Veneta
Peal
Crumpet
Missoni
High St - Hobbs, Jaeger

Oh this is the thread of camps isn't it?

What quiche do i fit into. What is currently popular? I will have that one, thanks.

Middle-class but don't wear Boden.

This is the first time I have heard of Boden (I'm obviously not middle class!). Just looked on the webiste and it seems about the same price and quality as Per Una.

And what is wrong with Cath Kidston? There are some baffling POVs on this forum - well to me anyway.

Middle class - yes
But wouldn't know what Boden was if it jumped up and bit me on the arse. My clothes come from anywhere as long as it's cheap but doesn't look it.

Quiche?

Guilty of being middle class and a mother here. But not on the charges of being a white Boden-wearer.

I did once buy dd a boden jacket off the market though. Didn't notice it was boden until some months later.

now how are we all defining class here? That's a more interesting question...

yes. quiche. If you really are in a quiche, you know it

Cath Kidson has flowers on it. Nuff said.
