I was toying with a dress from Boden & thought I would read the reviews. I am astonished by the number of reviewers who appeared to have bought the same,(quite distinctive), dress in all the available patterns/colours. Are they made up reviews from Boden, do you think or do people really do this?

I buy a few of their long sleeved t shirts in several colours each year.

I hav ahem bought 6 different camisoles in different colours. and leggings in black, brown and blue. I have also bought morethan one colour of some sale items.

I often buy an item in 2 or even 3 colours to see which I prefer, but think that's quite normal mail order behaviour ...

Have to admit, though, that this season, did buy one of their skirts in 2 different colourways - will go with completely different tops, tights, etc. Even so, probably only did it because I buy Size 22, and finding things I like and which aren't 'special plus size' horrors tends to be hard!

I know what you mean! I bought this dress and some of the reviews have said they have it in a couple of colours. I think I would get bored wearing the same dress too often.

Are you pleased with the breton tunic, dexter. Is it true to size?

dexter73 · 17/09/2010 20:39

It is really nice! I think if you are between sizes then go down. I have it in grey.

Thanks.

I am hosting a Boden party today and over the weekend and several people have bought the same top in several colourways. If you find something that flatters you why not buy several of them? No-one has done this with dresses though - YET.

I have a dress in 2 different colours -they were in the sale.They are great for work

I said several three times. Goodness gracious. Last Boden party has finished for today. Am now knocking back an unfinished bottle of wine.

If you find something that really suits you then, why not? hell, I have three Whistles dresses in different colours but I wear them all the time.

I would be hard pushed to find something in Boden that I would want to replicate though.
