God forgive me but I'm about to order from BODEN... what's the sizing like? i imagine very pear-shaped.

[AitchTwoOhOneTwo]

and i'm an apple.

not this one... it's very boxy, practically bat-winged. i sized down and probably need to do so again.

I've just sent back an autumn breton as it was too short on me. I am v tall though. I generally find boden true to size.

No breton tops for me then to add to very extensive collection out of this collection. Good to know!

I find they are v pear shaped... am usually a 16 (34g) but often need at least an 18, their tops do seem to have got longer and do wash v well but last years breton really odd fit am tempted to try again as h&m do not wash as well but am a 14 for skirts and never found a pair of trousers to fit save myself a fortune and don't often look...............

MUST remember to send them back... is returning stuff easy? i quite literally have never done it before, i tend to be a big trier-onner of clothes.

Very easy to send back cut the bag properly and it reseals put on a lael and return via Royal Mail or Plus something at many corner shops.

I have big shoulders and boobs and find their stuff is small on the top half, but if I go up a size to fit the boobs in then they have massive prop-forward shoulders.

you're making me think i shouldn't even risk the smaller size, tbh. shame, it should be a nice jumper... just something odd about it. and fluffy on the inside.

I find that they mess around with their sizing/fit a lot. I really think they do listen to their customers but if you are not shaped like the average customer it can be disappointing.

I bought some Navy velvet jeans about 5 years ago in the first season they did them. They were, and still are wonderful in all ways. I save them for special occasions so I dont wear them out. Every year I try and buy another pair and every year they are different and yet still wrong for me. I'm apple shaped with skinny legs.

moi aussi. nightmare trying to get jeans that fit what i laughingly refer to as 'my waist' that don't also bunch up at the fanny enough to make me look like i'm packing a considerable penis. don't get trousers from fat face, let me tell you.

(i mean really, boden and fat face... what has become of me. )
