I ordered four tops and the leopard print plimsolls. Keeping one top (this in white), the others are too short in the arms and I prefer my Ash trainers to the leopard plimsolls.

purplepeony · 28/07/2010 09:32

I have ordered the plimsolls in brown leather- already have them in satin- wonder what they are like?

Serendipity, I really liked the top, slightly fitted, nice soft material, will look good with jeans, I think.

Katy, how tall are you and where do the leggings come down to on your leg, please? I quite fancy a pair but am tall and I want them to be long rather than half way up my calves!

AlaskaNebraska · 28/07/2010 18:07

why on earth would you buy leggings from boden when they are ten a peny everywhere else

Oumasrusks · 28/07/2010 18:14

I've only had half my order delivered, but so far I'm keeping the leopard print trainers. I'm sending back the long wrap cardi in grey as it doesn't suit my shape and although it's lovely and soft and comfy, I'm not sure it's worth over £50. I've also sent back the embellished top in grey as the embellishment looked odd on me.

I'm sending the drapey jersey top in damson back to get a size smaller as it's very large around the neckline.

I want to order the Copenhagen tunic and the weekender tunic in denim as they look lovely.

AlaskaNebraska · 28/07/2010 18:17

the blazer is really ncie but enorme!

apple99 · 28/07/2010 18:45

Keeping the denim casual dress, sending back the denim mini, may exchange it for another casual dress in cord as the denim one fits so nicely.

Also got the biker boots in black but unsure, I can't decide if they look a bit cheap or not.

polyhymnia · 28/07/2010 18:53

apple, would you say the fit of the denim casual dress is large, small, or as expected and does it have any particularly nice/ special features? Am thinking of ordering it.

apple99 · 28/07/2010 18:56

The fit was as expected, even though I am 5"8 I ordered the reg length and it is just above my knee. The pockets are nice and flat so shouldn't gape and the neckline is lovely. A very flattering dress which is why I am thinking of ordering another in the cord.

purplepeony · 28/07/2010 19:09

halftermhero if you want leggings go to Uniqplo and get 3 pairs for the price of 1 Boden pair.

Yes, it arrived today and it's not great tbh.

Two long sleeved crew neck t shirts - the fabric is really flimsy, they are baggy despite containing elastane and I don't see them lasting very well. Also they're STILL not long enough.

The printed skirt (can't remember name - it's got retro flowers on) is made from something really dubious - like very thin cord, not proper cord, almost denim feel to it and the lining is horrid luminous pink polyester.

It's all going back - yuck.

Flighttattendant · 28/07/2010 19:44

Sorry x posts - I didn't order the Breton shirt, Proles.

bambootoo · 28/07/2010 19:48

well heeled boots, really odd and baggy in the feet with large rounded calves. They are going back. I like the wrap cardi and sequin scarf

HalfTermHero · 28/07/2010 20:15

Thanks, purplepeony. I'm really unsure about leggings. I've seen so many bad ones on so many people. I would pay above and beyond the price of the average pair if they are long enough and not stretched and see though!
