Seriously cross, I thought the sale was starting later today and now they have nothing left in the sizes/colours I want . But perhaps I should be at all the money I haven't spent.

doh! i knew it would happen the day we move and are without internet access, the bloody boden sale starts!
broadband installed this morning, me on computer straight away, email from johnnie yesterday morning telling me, get straight online and order as much as i can, not as much as i had hoped for myself , but the ds's have got a few things, and even though most of what i wanted was sold out still managed to spend over £200!!!!! i'm sure half of it will go back though.

Keep trying. I had an email confirming despatch of my order this morning. I went back to the site and they have added more stuff!! (I only view using My Sizes and there was more choice today - luckily nothing I wanted)

piff well I thought maybe you were (not as much as me tho perhaps??? sorry, not asking sizes) but I didn't dare do it.
Bit late now as would have to pay second lot of postage. Unless of course there was more stuff I wanted!!!!

Boden stuff arrived today. I bought the wrap dress in brown and the blown/blue/cream pattern

The first looks awful. The second looks bland and needs something really blue to pull out some colour from it. (If you look at 'View Colours' on the website it looks like that -they have otherwise cleverly phtographed it with a blue background.) My brown boots seem too dark for it too.

I also bought a mink ballet wrap and a black ballet wrap. Both sit too high on my waist and don't cover my tits And roll up at the bottom

So unless I can find some bits to oomph up the patterned wrap dress, everything is going back.

vickiyumyum · 18/12/2005 18:15

oh no! thats really disapointing when everything ends up going back, from what peaople have been saying it looks like my ballet wrap tops will be going back. lets hope the other stuff fits though, otherwise it will all be just stuff for the kids again!

BudaBabeInAManger · 18/12/2005 18:45

Oh Sue - I ordered the patterned wrap dress - will look for somethignto jazz it up.

misdee · 18/12/2005 18:49

thats a shame about the dresses sue. ilike mny brown one, but then i wanted something thats ok for xmas day and then for everyday wear after. oh and loads of cleavage on display

SueW · 18/12/2005 19:34

misdee I love my brown one from the front but not from the back - I'm a Trinny but about a zillion stone heavier. Because I have a long back, the ties mean that it makes my waist really high which makes my bum look really saggy!

Part of me is tempted to get the sewing machine out and ditch the ties because the fabric is a beautiful weight so hangs nicely, it's just the design that doesn't suit me exactly.

I was always happy when growing up, knowing that my mum could make me exactly what I wanted in clothes but it's made me very fussy over what I'll buy :-/

Anyway pleased it has worked for you
