This happens to me with Boden all the time. I am a size 10 petite in most Boden things. Of course, whether the style suits me is anotehr matter. But when something does fit and suit me, I tend to order it in another colour. Never, not once, has the alternate colour fitted. Sometimes it is much longer, sometimes much bigger/smaller. Soooooooooo annoying!

Ed, those printed ones - true to size or not? I spotted them a while back, but have been distracted by sandals and silver shoes etc.

EduardoBarcelona · 28/05/2014 09:36

Yup. Got a 12 or medium or whatever.

Cereal don't whinge - you in U. K. have it a whole lot cheaper than poor us in Ireland. The mark up U. K. brands put on the clothes in their Irish stores would make you weep. Way way beyond the exchange rate.Yet 100 miles up the road in Northern Ireland it's the same price and transport costs must be the same.

Cereal0ffender · 28/05/2014 18:25

Sorry holly!

noddyholder · 28/05/2014 18:27

I have a pair f slim trousers like that from h and m and they are just as nice as the more £ Zara ones

ThisBitchIsResting · 28/05/2014 20:28

I thought you lot were all Hmm about polyester? Which makes up about one leg of these trousers. Not that it bothers me in the slightest.

BitchResting - I'm anti polyester, as a general rule. The snake print trousers are cotton, and the OP trousers are half polyester. I tried them on and said on my blog that, for a good price, I would be OK w trousers that are a polyester blend. Not suiting, but trousers.

BelindaAllWorkedOut · 29/05/2014 09:34

I think those H&M trousers are the ones I tried in in my blog, too. I liked them. No way could I gain weight and still wear them, but I liked them.

EduardoBarcelona · 29/05/2014 09:38

found them - page 4
