Anyone ever bought a jumper from Boden?

Just wondering how they wear? Am thinking of buying a couple of their V necks for winter. Also, how do they fit ? I am quite slim with no norks so can sometimes be drowned by tops/jumpers if they are not fitted in shape.

Bought their cable knit jumper a couple of years ago - it was the nicest jumper I'd had in years. A woman stopped me in Tesco to say how nice I looked in my jumper!! Then I wore it for a walk on Boxing day and fell down a mudslide - sleeves full of mud. Of course handwashing did nothing except stretch the sleeves out of shape. Machine washed but forgot to use wool wash cycle. Shrank, but just about usable. Next wash DP put it in the tumble dryer by mistake. Size 16 jumper now fits my 5 year old. Now in cat's basket. Expensive cat bedding. Don't let me put you off! I'm a 16 and order 16 or large - can you work down to see what size you need? I usually wait til they have free returns so I can play around with sizes if needed, so far haven't.

I've not got a jumper but I've got a wrap top and also a tank top. I think if you are very small you are gonig to struggle to get something fitted. I buy size 8 tops from there and they are not exactly tight fitting. I'm not a small 8 either iyswim - I'm not 'petite' - I'm 5'6 and am sort of 'average' build - not skinny.

Oh yes, I did order a v-neck jumper from the summer catalogue in an 8 and sent it back because it wasn't fitted enough around my waist area.

Try and get a 'free returns' thingy then you can order and send back if not right.

Thanks Goobledigoook and fubsy - as I suspected they might be a bit big on me. Will take your advice and order with free returns

There was a 15% code in the times a few weeks back (valid until the end of November). It also includes free delivery and returns. The code is LNSD. Hope this helps!
