Bill - didn't work

PRV1

Ah sorry.

Thanks Mrs.

The new preview already!

Thank you for posting.

The code is PRV1. I guessed, as that's what it usually is, and it worked!

Whatever happened to the cropped cashmere v neck cardi?
they only do crew neck ones this year.

I like the leather bowling bag in the turmeric shade... I have a scarf from last year in the same shade so may consider the bag. I appreciate a lot of people do not like that colour though!
I also like the snood scarf in fig and the tweedy looking skirt in the petite section.
Nothing else grabs me though. I used to like Boden for their cotton and silk tops but they seem to be going towards viscose at the moment which I like less.

Not overly impressed.
Like bistro trousers and velvet slim leg trousers but think that is it.
Coat priced ridiculous ,and no velvet option this year that I can see.

Boden is a great website, just purchased a pair of brown suede boots for work in the winter.

It's more of a supplement to the Autumn Collection than a new collection, I would say.

I really like the Notre Dame skirt in blue bouclé.

Obviously it's a supplement to the a/w collection. Still 'new', however

I like one of the dresses, otherwise it's really quite disappointing.

I like the Diana coat in white, am weighing it up against this Ted Baker one (£120 more and less classic?)

Agree the dresses are samey though. Why have they started making everything out of ponte with a high neckline?

Can anyone who's tried both tell me how the bistro cut compares to their skinny jeans cut? I find their skinnies really gapey through the hips and thigh if it fits on the waist.

Well, Ted Baker clearly don't want anyone to link to their website, but it's the Vivaine one.

Mad the Bistro cut is more generous imo. I returned some cropped skinny cords which I could barely fasten in a 10, but the Bistro wool trousers are very comfy.
They do have slip in side pockets which potentially give a hippy look, and I find most Boden trousers cut for heavy thighs and biggish hips, but with small waists - although the Bistros in wool are a pretty nice fit, there is still too much fabric for a 'perfect' fit ( for me) at the top of the thigh on the side seams IYSWIM. I'm a 28-29 ish waist and 35 hip, so the hips are often a big baggy.

Thanks Miss. Sounds like these may not fit me either... these bistros are not wool (and dry clean only - living in the sticks, dry cleaning is such a faff) and I need a pair of smart trousers which is why I am interested in these.

What do you think of the Contrast Colour Tunic?

I've been looking at all the Mint Velvet black trousers because I need some smart casual trousers- MV have loads- the cropped capris are nice but I returned as I wanted something warmer. I find it's very hard to really tell what the clothes are like from their website so have been using free delivery from J Lewis! Worth having a look...........

Thanks Miss. I have about the same waist/hip ratio as you then. That's a shame, I love the look of the colours and fabric, but I do hate that bunchy feeling you get when you sit down in trousers that don't really fit.

It's tricky Mad- if you feel like bothering maybe send for the Bistro ones? They are by far the best of the bunch so far for me, but I'm dithering over the length because 7/8 trousers don't really work for me with footwear- I tend to live in boots as I have problems finding shoes that fit.

Re. Boden fitting- my hips are nearer an 8 but my waist is a 10- so that's the problem! Boden gives 37 -38 inches as a size 10 hips which means they are really catering for pear shapes and I'm more of a rectangle or apple depending on how much I've stuffed myself.

Missbo - I have the same problem, a wide waist and slim hips. My trousers need to go up to just below waist in order to fit properly. I might have a look in the Gap as well as Mint Velvet.
