I really like it, nice & fitted and really soft (I sized down as I hate baggy stuff). It cost me £39.20 in the preview which I think is ok. I liked it as well because of the colours

allnew- thanks but I have now returned all my 20% stuff and will have to wait for a replacement/exchange coming and then exchnage it if I want anything else!

Interested in your comments on the Biker Jacket- I ordered an 8 and returned it, but maybe a 10 would have been better. I found it very stiff and almost like a strait jacket- any comments on that?

when do you reckon the five days is up?

I have always had my reviews published- even the negative ones. I think the only time I hadn't was when I inferred that you could get the same elswhere but much cheaper- but I didn't name a store or brand.

kittya · 11/08/2010 13:24

god, its so edited it makes me vomit.

Cant even say boobs, for the love of god.

I tried to do a review, typed it all up, but there was no 'submit' button. Very odd. I think it was because I didn't give the item five stars that no submit option was available.

horridhobo · 11/08/2010 14:42

Just received Uptown top in peacock (or petrol, or something - dark bluey-green). Really nice - little bit tight on the arms but otherwise lovely fit.
Just off to write a gushing review for Jonnie!! (Have to say I have always had my reviews published even if they are critical, which they often are....Grin)

purplepeony · 11/08/2010 15:53

val- no that's not right- I did 6 reviews yesterday and gave none of then 5 stars! I have 2 stars to one of them.

Last season I had aproblem with the site as once I have written a review and clicked preview, it wouldn't let me go back to submit- maybe you have a similar problem?

SerendipityAlways · 11/08/2010 17:03

Have you noticed that once you've written and sumitted your review, the little pop up note says "Thank you for your review etc...which may be accepted.."! Surely a review (once it follows the basic laws of decency) is a review and should be published? Very selective reviews allowed obviously. Hmm
I have half of mine done and am watching with interest to see which ones are "accepted".

kittya · 11/08/2010 17:25

Mine average two stars so, Im doubting very many will!!

vintage3 · 11/08/2010 17:41

i started this thread as Vintage 1 but deregistered (is that a word) but as in a hundred times before i am back. I have submitted bad reviews before and they always printed them. Obviously if its ranting or offensive lol at boobs they wont print it.I like the new catogeries but i can`t decide if im a classic, casual or stylish dresser?

purplepeony · 11/08/2010 18:22

I think Boden are taking the P to put stylish an an option! I buy quite a lot of Boden for basics but they aren't stylish really.

kittya · 11/08/2010 19:19

they are anything but!! its asking us what we think we are isnt it? but it wont let you put that you dress for fashion and comfort. Its a load of bollox really.

purplepeony · 11/08/2010 19:52

I just ticked casual for some of them.
I can be all of them- casual one day, "stylish" the next, for comfort the next- I don't have 1 style for everything.

come back if you see yours!!

spiritmum · 11/08/2010 20:16

Doubt mine would be up...I'd ask why they bother with going up to a size 22 when nothing they produce suits anyone over a size 14 (and that's being generous).

kittya · 11/08/2010 20:17

That was a let down!! How long did it take them to put a handfull of reviews up? Am I the only one that noticed just one thing had more that three stars?

purplepeony · 11/08/2010 20:23

None of mine is there- checked the straight legged cords and think their site is buggered up as every colour and every size is out of stock for 3 weeks!

kittya · 11/08/2010 20:35

I think they do it to panic us. It said that about the casual dress I ordered and yet I got it today, unfortunatly. Going straight back tomorrow.

NomDePlume · 11/08/2010 21:00

Why when I clicked to see the reviews for an item did it say there were 2 reviews and gave the star rating (3.5) but there were no actual reviews to read ? Confused

moragbellingham · 11/08/2010 21:42

Anyone here called Piglet?

I was going to buy some t shirts but a very poor 2 stars saved me some time and effort.Smile

pleasechange · 12/08/2010 07:34

purplepeony - I found last year's biker jacket a bit stiff at the start but is softened once worn a few times. I think sometimes their jackets are a bit tight round the chest/shoulders so maybe best to size up?

SerendipityAlways · 12/08/2010 10:22

None of my reviews up yet - even the positive ones! Noticing though that the things I rated poorly seem to all currently have 5 star ratings!! Hmmmm Hmm
