Its the Boden Sale game - roll up roll up

[MariahScarey]

so the site is DOWN for sale prep. WHEN will it start?

I am going for 15h

Yes the colour was nice and it felty very soft. The ribbons just looked all wrong on me and also i suspect they will pull out shape if you're not careful. Ok to keep for best though.

Thanks for the feedback. Do like the colour. May just wait to see if goes down further.

PS northernlurker - another question: on the Emma, do you wear it as a tunic or a dress? I did try it but being tall it seemed too short for a dress on me but a bit too long for a tunic. But am thinking of trying again now reduced.

I'm 5ft 3 - it's a dress on me!

Ah, I'm 5'9'' - hence the problem! Might contemplate having it shortened to be a tunic at sale prices, though. though not sure it would rewally work shape-wise as a tunic even then.

Ordered yesterday the twist front jersey dress in grey pebble and a pair of leggings - hope they're as good as everyone says - for delivery today. Fingers crossed.

I have that dress and really like it - hope it suits you too.
They don't seem to be doing leggings in their Spring range so a good idea to buy now.

The parcel arrived! Dress is great and leggings fit well so am very pleased.

I'm cross. I ordered the Emma dress in grey in 2 sizes and was really excited about having something to wear for Christmas Day, even though I had to pay postage.

I look like a sack of potatoes in both sizes... and have just discovered I get to pay another £2.95 to return the sodding things. £7.95 for the privilege of looking like a sack of spuds.

I'm sure I've always had free returns before - am I imagining things?

You don't get free delivery or returns for sale items.

I don't think there is ever free delivery and returns in the sale. I always keep all my unused free returns labels - much easier now they send 2 with each order, then I can use them at sale times. I've managed to accumulate quite a collection of them.

Arse, didn't think of doing that, QuiteOldGal.

Bad memory, Dexter or I've never returned any sale items.

Still cross.

Yes sorry - I keep the returns labels too for just this occasion.....Shame it didn't look nice on you. Did you let it hang for a bit before trying on? It comes out of teh packet quite oddly folded and the fabric doesn't sit well over the bust. If you hang it up for a bit and then try it on and pull down well over boobs it works much better.

I got my parcel, some trousers which I read about on here getting rave reviews. Awful on me, hated them. And a dress which turned out to be hideous.

I ordered the Audrey dress, shudder, it looked awful. Perhaps a bit "sack of potatoes" actually. I ordered the green sort of one. It's going back. I did a second order, which unfortunately includes the Audrey dress in a smaller size and I already now know I will not like it, I wonder now if I'm actually going to like what I've ordered!

I've ordered their leggings before, they are soft and keep their colour but bobble a bit. Hope those who've ordered them enjoy them!

Northern - I really like the dress/tunic, just not on me it turns out. Seemed to be a lot of fabric sitting in all the wrong places at the front. Ah well.

Yes! It does that till you let it hang a bit and then tell it where to go

Well, I have bought 2 dresses. I like the red one and will wear it to a friend's wedding. I don't know whether to keep the blue one in the same style; I would wear it to work. It actually looks purple and I am worried about being old and wearing purple! What should I do?

I do not look like the model in it, but it is smart and flattering!

grevix please explain the problem with old and purple ...

hattymattie

dexter - well obviously not with a red hat! I still don't understand the problem with purple - maybe I'm going to be just like her

I would wear purple but not to work.

The author of that poem is eighty now. I wonder if she's started wearing purple with red hats yet!

I am nervously awaiting my delivery of a Boden Martha dress. I ordered one with a small discount in the Autumn and loved the fabric, but thought it was too tight, too short and also too expensive for what it was. I have now ordered a longer, larger one with sixty per cent off and have my fingers firmly crossed.

I have the navy martha dress and wear it often. Hope it works for you Phaedra11.

Waiting on the winter warmer in black and the archive print top also in black - reviews were fairly negative but I think it could realy work for me as a short-waisted clear winter.

Those items don't seem to be moving, but didn't want to wait for second markdowns. Perhaps I will live to regret that.

Save those free returns labels!

I have always been sure that poem is meant to indicate wearing purple hair.

Greyvix I think that's an adorable dress. The black version reminds of soething the wife on Homeland would wear. And purple is fab, colour is fab, anytime, anywhere! (not that I have any, I'm just pro colour!)

I've got 4 dresses out of the sale and am returning 3. Not bad. That's work wardrobe sorted for the next little while.
