Anyone received their Boden spring preview order yet?

[Rassy]

Now that the Boden spring website is live and clothes are in stock, I thought I would be receiving my preview order. However phoned up today and the lady I spoke to said it wouldn't be despatched until the end of next week!! Don't know whether that is just my order or if anyone has received their's!?

Georginaworsley- try it on- please!

I have this dress in my basket, but need to know if it is flattering. Sometimes bias cut dresses seem to make my stomach look even bigger.

What are your opinions on it?

I think the children's clothes have been comin up small for a while now. DD is 6, probably around average height but super skinny (She has her daddy's genes). She wears age 6 in their jeans but they are only just long enough on her and would be super tight on a child who is a more average build.

I am still waiting the arrival of my breton stripe top . Not happy with Boden postage of late either - things seem to be taking longer and longer to arrive.

Have my eye on stripy coat for DS, blue large spot dress for DD (although will probably get her Joules dress if I can find a discount code). For me, I would like the linen tunic, possibly the stripe tunic (does this come up very long as I am only 5ft?) and the maxi dress - again how long is this on shorter people?

Just tried it,fits well on me a size 12.A little longer than I would like though,comes to lower knee on me at 5ft 3.Quite a low v neck but I have a cleavage so tha tis fine.
Quite a thick jersey,not floaty.
Will keep as I have a feeling it may become shorter after washing!
I ordered the purple version also.

LOng and thick jersery is good.

I'll order it after next pay day.

Thanks georginaworsely :o

Meggles76 - Dh has just told me the Breton top does nothing for me :(

Can anyone tell me, what is the fit like on their plimsolls -- narrow or wide?

Thanks, georgina - sounds like it's pretty true to size? Presumably you have R length, not L.

Dirty, have bought plimsolls in past seasons and width fine on my slightly but not very wide feet. But then I have sized up one,having read reviews.

Thanks :)

What do we think about the cosmopolitan dress. I'm strangely drawn to the navy one - do I need to get a grip?

Ordered the silver flat glad style shoes. Nice. Got leopard too. Can't decide.

Silver bag vile

JakeBrake Do you feel they are worth the money ? I can't decide.

Are these the ones that are narrow?

Shame mama! I am STILL waiting for my to turn up - Boden postage has been rubbish of late.

Are the gladiator sandals narrow- hope so as I have very skinny feet and see they don't have a buckle- just a heel zip?

If I was buying sandals I would seriously wait until the Summer range comes out in the shops. River Island always do lovely ones.

I wouldn't say the gladiators are skinny, I have paddles for feet and they fitted me.
I do think they are expensive considering how little there is to them. Back they go to, DH will be relieved.

Can anyone tell me about about the Peony bags? Would they be big enough for A4 folders - thinking for work!

Thank you!

@ Mama!!! My DH narrows his eyes everytime a distinctive boden package arrives!

Cabbage ye. Have skinny feet

plum, I have the winter version of the peony - the spot. Have ordered the peony too, because found the spot one was fun, useful and waterproof. But, though it's pretty (in the blue, brown etc colourway) I'll probably send it back and get something different, just for a change.

Don't know exactly how much you intend to carry,but you can't get an A4 folder in there - you can get some sheets of A4 paper, and a medium-sized book, that's all.

thank you

I'm really disappointed with the new Boden catalouge. At the beginning of the season, there are usually loads of items that I like and have ear-marked....but I can't find a single one! It all looks so frumpy. Think the love affair is over, any ideas of where else I can look? I've been in a bit of a Boden rut the past few years.
