Mine has all arrived but most is going back.

Several dresses didn't suit me at all. I am keeping the Hannah and Annalise dresses, they are both lovely. I'm sending back the Westborne dress and Otterman shift, both just do nothing for me. I'm also sending back Ravello and Aimee tops, both are huge on me, despite being size 8s, rather weird as I'm usually an 8 or a 10.
I'm undecided about the embellished Ballerinas, I ordered a black and gold pair as they were such a bargain at £15.80, but they are still so flimsy, they really don't feel like shoes at all.

My best bargain is the Iris cashmere- lovely and I'm wearing it now!

Lighthousekeeping · 17/02/2014 22:21

I've got a feeling my best bargain will be the slippers and that the rest will go back.

What a surprise! I woke up to an email saying 2 of my 3 items have been dispatched. Third item waiting to be dispatched so there is a possibility I'll get all three.

I'm delighted. Ordered midday on Friday so I had resigned myself to not receiving anything.

SnowBells · 18/02/2014 08:28

Most of mine have been dispatched now...

plentyofsoap · 18/02/2014 08:30

Went on the website and had another look at the coatigan they were not able to send me. It was back on in a different colour in my size so ordered that. It was still only 35, but had gone back up to 100 a couple of days ago?

Really confused now. Had ordered a pair of ankle skimmer cords in size 12, have received a pair of cotton jeans in a 10 (although the packaging says they are a 12 but inside the label is a 10) Confused

I've had one delivery.
The leopard boots are great, can't see them getting much wear but at £20 they are a bargain.
I ordered a load of dresses, the Lana one I particularly like - really lovely style.
The heritage jumper is really nice and I'm wearing it now.
I ordered a necklace which is pretty nice for £5 but I would have been horrified had i paid £25 for it!

Hoping my second lot arrives today - I really need the parka to fit!

Apatite1 · 18/02/2014 09:05

5 out of 6 items dispatched yesterday. Not too shabby! The only item not sent was a dress which I suspected would be too long for me anyway.

theladylovescupcakes · 18/02/2014 09:23

My order arrived yesterday. The bow Blouse which is nice and another patterned blouse in a beautiful pink/coral. Also ordered the westbourne jumper in pink. Sized up as I wanted slouchy, but perhaps a bit too roomy now. Going to keep it though, £70 jumper for approx £14!

passthecheese · 18/02/2014 09:30

I ordered 2 jumpers, the neon cardi and the Dalmatian dress on Friday morning. At lunchtime I ordered some Johnny B shoes and jeans for my daughter and the pink stripy cashmere. Cashmere was cancelled, which at the time I was v disappointed with but now think it was unlikely to have suited me.

Took ages for the Johnny b stuff to be despatched, it still hasn't arrived and I just hope that dd will like it.

Neon cardigan was ok but going back and so is the Dalmatian tunic which is just slightly too short.

Still really pleased with my westbourne jumper as I've been stalking it since before Christmas but couldn't justify the price till now. And I love the turquoise cable jumper too. If it wasn't for this thread I would not have looked at the site on Friday. I'm really pleased with my bargains.

flakjacket · 18/02/2014 10:28

My two parcels arrived. Pointy boots are gorgeous, but not sure I can walk in them Sad. I think I've lost the knack of walking in not very high heels.

alemci · 18/02/2014 11:31

my parcel has arrived and will unpack shortly

went on site and it now says up to 70% wasn't it 80% before?

also the leopard skin boots are up to £110 now?

PrimalLass · 18/02/2014 11:44

Mine all came today. The waxed parka is fab - am so pleased with that. I am also keeping the pink/grey printed jumper (am very surprised at how much nicer it is IRL). The rest is going back - skinny cargos, cashmere jumper, blue striped merino jumper etc etc). I ordered the cream wrap cardi, which is lovely but the 30% alpaca just makes it too itchy).

Sparklegeek · 18/02/2014 11:49

I have just spoken to Boden as the Leopard boots in my size are now back in stock according to the order grid - but at £110 rather than £20! But the lady there said there aren't really any there & if I tried to check out at that price, it wouldn't let me (she was right!) So be aware that their stock levels are all over the place STILL.

I pointed her in the direction of Mumsnet & told her Boden had not come out at all well from what happened on Friday...

alemci · 18/02/2014 11:58

not sure about the Fairisle - too garish?

the cable knit in turquoise is lovely and flattering

quite like the ribbed knit in deep turquoise but it seems to come up larger. Is that the look?

hanginginthere1 · 18/02/2014 12:05

Have just un packed my isabel jumper in mustard. Cost £15.00 on Fri/Sat.
Looks lovely, very pleased with it.
Gone back on the site to order another one, and have found that the remaining jumpers are all £31.00. Could have sworn that they were all reduced. Am a bit hmm.
Anyone able to shed any light?

alemci · 18/02/2014 12:07

yes hanging in they seem to be up to £23.70.

I too have the Isabel jumper in dk turquoise. i think i paid about £15.70 for it.

does yours come up big too. lovely and soft. Tempted to keep it.

cardoon · 18/02/2014 12:08

I think the 80% off was just up to midnight monday

hanginginthere1 · 18/02/2014 12:15

That explains it then.
Yes, alemci mine does come up on the biggish side. I really like it. Took it out of packaging to try on, and am still wearing it. I have a white blouse on underneath, so it takes up a bit of the slack!
Hope it washes well.

alemci · 18/02/2014 12:21

yes hanging I think I like mine too. The quality feels good.

If not I have 2 dd's who will take it off my hands no problem :)

Lighthousekeeping · 18/02/2014 12:53

Just unpacked my box. Green skater skirt in a 14 is going back. It's cut horribly and would suit no one. The Lois skirt is a keeper but I'm not sure for how long. I'm just not used to wearing such thick materials, they never seem to flatter. The striped cashmere is a keeper but it hasn't got a wow factor. I can't imagine who would pat full price for in. The bootie slippers are fab and I may stay in all day just to wear them.

All in all, I'm abit meh.

HappyAsEyeAm · 18/02/2014 13:26

Lighthouse I ordered the green skater skirt too. I am really disppointed as I have it in red and I like it. When I got the red one, I was unsure, but after I'd ironed it, it looked a lot better. I am 5 foot 1 inch tall, and the regular is a mini on me!

I am going to try ironing the green one and then decide. It is cut much bigger all over than the red one in the same size, which is a shame. Of course, they don't have any left in a smaller size.

MrsCocoa · 18/02/2014 14:02

At least this time they gave us decent warning when the 80% off was finishing - recall last time it ended without any notice. Think I was able to exchange sizes at sale price (stock came back in)?
