That style would look awful on me because I have broad slightly stooped shoulders, but that probably doesn't apply to you. Even still, though, I try to never buy things on Boden that are rated below a 4.0 on average as I find if I do I'm almost always disappointed with it.

ooh thats an interesting rule
I think they are all complaining its a bit sheer arent they?>

I have it in the grey, it's a very flattering shape for me. And drapey thin fabric lovely. Have worn it lots in the last few weeks.

Lighter grey than in pic though.

Hasn't washed brilliantly though, needs a good iron and reshaping. And stitching came away at shoulder seam but easy enough to fix.

I've fixed it now, probably my fault for ramming it on the hanger.

Yes definitely not black, sort of a slate blue/grey. Good colour.

I contemplated ordering this, but was put off by the reviews. Thin and boxy wasn't the combo I was after.

I bet Woolovers have something similar at a third of the price.

BillStickersIsInnocent · 13/04/2014 22:56

See I like thin and boxy - my favourite combination

Legologgo · 15/04/2014 10:51

got and LOVE - not so thin or boxy!

Thought this might arrive today - glad you like!

Wore mine yesterday and was a bit see through in bright sunlight but that's fine

What is the sizing like? I'm normally a size 10-12. Which one should I go for?

Legologgo · 15/04/2014 18:29

i think a nude bra or a black bra( will try both) would work _ i tried on in a real hurry but love the soot

its true to size tit wise I think

Legologgo · 15/04/2014 18:29
