Boden Sizing

Want to buy the Tuscany Cardigan and the Breton top.
Does anyone have experience of sizing ?
Am a size 12 but 5'2 so sometimes buy a size 10 to not look too swamped but do not want anything remotely clingy - skimming to loose fit is best for me after two children !

I am 5ft and size 8 - 10. I bought the Breton top in a 10. I wouldn't have wanted an 8 in this style. So maybe the 12 would be best?

thanks so much - am having to wait 11 weeks for the pale blue colour to come back in

Boden sizing is weird in my opinion. I bought a pair of trousers that fitted me perfectly so ordered a couple of different colours in them, and they were too tight. Sorry probably not that relevant.

I find their tops are fairly generous I'm a 12-14 and would always go for the 12 in the tops, so if its in low stock I might be tempted to get both sizes and see how you get on.

I normally read all the reviews and you get a pretty good view on the sizing. I normally hover around an 8 or just above and had to get a 6 in the ruffle vests as they came up huge. All of the reviews said that it was best to size down. I don't know about the cardy or Breton top - sorry.

I think their sizing varies quite a lot between styles and, like others, tend to rely on reviews to get an idea what comes up big/ small and where.

Big. I'm a 10/12, mostly a 10, but ordering a ten over the internet a risk, so ordered some size 12 stuff in a sale and it's all too big. WAY too big.
