Would a size ten cardi be true to size?

It all depends on the style- which one are u looking at?

I am between and 8 and a 10 and usually buy an 8 in knitwear but the cashmere crops come up small.

Anything "boyfriend" or like a cardi coat will be big.

THanks amelia. It's this one

I had a ten pound voucher plus free delivery letter through the post today so I'm tempted to get it as it would only be £15...

I think Boden sizes come up big. i am usually a 12-14, but always a 12 in Boden.

Ooh, that's good, thanks.

Quiet - what's the cardi like in RL? Is it nice? What colour did you get?

I think Boden sizes are nuts. I usually buy two (or three) sizes and send the wrong ones back. I can be a 10 in one pair of trousers, a 12 in another and a 14 in another. Sometimes I'm a 10 in a style I was a 14 in last year or vice versa. Crazy. The only sizes that seemed consistent to me were the maternity ones!

I got the rosy melange one and I do really love it but I love cardis fullstop,bought a lovely one for not a lot in H&M and a navy one from boden too Blush I must stop buying cardis

Looks a bargain! I have a round neck one in purple. I am a 32C bust and need a 10 in the cropped cardis. They are nice BUT they are cropped- more suitable for wearing with dresses as there seems to be a "gap" if you wear with jeans & a cami or T shirt.

Inconsistant.

Their tops come up very big, trousers and dresses are closer to size I have found.
