Anyone Ever tried Boden Womens Swimwear??

Yes, yet another Boden thread ..

Am thinking of trying a Boden swimsuit - just the crossover style. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, of their swimwear, including its sizing and length??

I found that one quite generous, i brought the largest size and in all honesty am probably a size bigger. But it has plenty of coverage, and even covers my ample norkage.

I tried the Chich Swimsuit, I am usually a size 16/18 so ordered the 18 and it was enormous. I could have sized down but wasn't keen on the fabric which looked nice on-line but was very shiny when it arrived.

I thnk i bought the one you describe-crossover swimsuit with tummy flattening panel.have to say I've been v pleased with it and second the generous sizing...i'm probably technically a 16 post DS but bought 14 automatically and fits fine.I thinkit's about as flattering on me as a swimsuit can be (which is still not very IMHO!) and I'ma wee bit happier taking DS swimming now!

I love the boyleg ones but they are not all that supportive in the halterneck style. I alter them to a crossover back.

I really rate Boden swimwear. Long lasting and good quality.

Their sale starts tomorrow so maybe hang on til then to order?

Yes, thanks all.

Just got in and saw what looks like good news about the swimsuit - thanks HotchPotchHoney, your honesty gives me hope - and also about Boden sale.

Working at home tomorrow, so now will have to keep distracting myselfhaving a quick check to see if sale's started!

Obviously I haven't mastered the striking out thing!

I have a Boden swinmsuit and it is very flattering. I would agree that you need to size down.

I ordered my regular size (10 - but I need a size 8 in some Boden stuff) last year and was absolutely GOBSMACKED to find it was too short in the body.

I am 5ft 1 Hmm
