All being returned tomorrow!!
Even the mini Broderie dresses were not right on my girls
Very disappointed. Anyone else with more luck?

Rassy - order arrived today but due to a Boden fuck up, the tunic did not Sad. They are sending it out today... My wait continues...
Anyway, I placed a big order - both preview and non preview items and there are actually some keepers Grin

Merino trim cardigan in navy - nice quality and good length on me
Pleat trim vest top in yellow - loving the vanity sizing of this item - had to buy the 6 instead of my usual Boden 8!! It is a nice colour and will go well with my dark skinny jeans
ornamental jersey top in grey - very flattering
70s sunglasses

Also bird skirt for DD is fab. She already has the blue stripe breton top and they look good together

To be returned - Lightweight summer cardigan - I have better quality ones from H&M for a quarter of the price.

Meggles 76 My tunic did arrive and I am very happy with it! Is very fluid (read forgiving!) and looks great with leggings. Hopefully you will think it was worth the wait!

My Breezy Beach Dress did!
See here.

hurrah Rassy - glad you like. Am hoping I will like as I think it will be good with navy leggings and the new navy cardigan!

Woopsi I read your thread and did have a look at the dress. Rather like but I am only 5ft and never seem to have much luck with Boden dresses. They tend to swamp me Sad

Returning the Spring Shift- massive in a 10 and don't like colour- blue ribbon.

Returning the Smart Shift as bust is too big and also bulky over tummy- too much pleating. am trying a smaller size but suspect waist will be too tight.

am waiting for the Notch Neck Shift and the laces Skirt- showing in stock but no sign of it yet....

Glad you liked that tunic, Rassy. Should think the berry print you got is more interesting than the grey one I chose. The colours in the prints just weren't for me, though pretty.

I received a nice big fat refund!!

Meggles76 · 07/04/2011 20:00

Tunic finally arrived today!!! Yes the grey is quite dull plain but I prefer understated. As I am smaller the bigger prints end up wearing me rather than me wearing them IYSWIM. This is a keeper Grin

Rassy · 07/04/2011 20:56

Meggles76 Glad you like the tunic! I just can't stay away from some of those bigger prints... Grin

Meggles, glad you liked it. It may well be because I'm large that I felt such a small print in a neutral colour was underwhelming on me. Can see it would suit a small person better - also you may have dark hair, which could look better with it than my blonde.

The prints would have been the way to go for me, but, alas, they weren't in 'my ' colours (don't like any pinks, reds, corals and both prints had some of these).

I see one of the Boden reviewers also removed the elastic - which I didn't like - from the waist . Very clever of her and what I'd have had done if I'd kept it.
