Just that really - nosing through the women's clearance and the very much sought after Boden ruched skirt seems to be available to order at £19.75 clearance price. Both striped and the black, all sizes, the only fly in the ointment being its in stock in 12 weeks!!

I'm tempted to order a striped one for next summer having missed out this year. Can anyone tell me how generous they are, normally an 8 in Boden jeans etc.

Mine's shipped too.

Lambzig · 11/11/2016 11:39

Mine has shipped too sizes 10 and 12 to see which fits best.

Really pleased I held out as I have has the hush and kettlewell ones in and out my basket for weeks.

slalomsuki · 11/11/2016 13:02

Another one on the way too. Had forgotten I'd ordered it to be honest. Hope it lives up to the anticipation

ScarlettDarling · 11/11/2016 17:41

Mine is on the way too, totally forgotten I'd ordered it! Result!

WicksEnd · 11/11/2016 17:57

Mine too, all good things........and all that 😀

Nearlyadoctor · 11/11/2016 18:24

Well I'm the Op and mine still just says order processing!!!

Pleased everyone is getting theirs though. Fingers crossed I'll eventually get mine. Confused

Oh no, nearly - that's not fair at all! Hopefully you'll get yours too Sad

Nearlyadoctor · 11/11/2016 19:13

I ordered 8 and 10 in the navy stripe - has anyone else with a similar order received a dispatch email yet?

I think it may just be black ones that have been shipped.

babynugget · 11/11/2016 19:25

I ordered a black one in a 10 and not had an email yet...... OP did you notice teawamutu upthread had an email to say her black one had shipped but striped is still pending. Doesn't seem to be any logic to this.

ThomasRichard · 11/11/2016 19:30

I got a dispatch email today. I know it's the skirt but it's been so long that I can't remember which one I ordered. It'll be a nice surprise.

I've just had a look and it's the plain black. I have a date on Thursday so it's perfect timing :)

CountFosco · 12/11/2016 09:44

My black one arrived, but I'm not sure because of the length. I think it has as much material in it as the Hush skirt (I've just compared it with my Tara dress) but because the ruching stops half way down (WTF?) the Boden skirt is much longer, I'm 5'2" so it goes below my knee which I don't like. I can scrunch it up to be shorter but not sure that's very practical, I'm imagining it slowly getting longer as the day goes on. But it's so cheap!!! I might have to take advantage of Johnny's long return times and order one from Kettlewell to compare since it looks shorter.

myfriendnigel · 12/11/2016 09:46

Nothing here yet either Sad

twilightcafe · 12/11/2016 10:02

My black one arrived this morning! Grin l

DakotaFanny · 12/11/2016 10:21

My black one has just arrived too- it's gorgeous but I think I am too heavy of thigh for it. I look a bit like a diamond. Any tips anyone, or do I just have to return?

TheFairyCaravan · 12/11/2016 10:51

Mine's just arrive despite them cancelling it, refunding the payment and no shipping notice! Confused

Fuzzypeggy · 12/11/2016 10:59

If anyone has a size 12 that they want to return, I'll buy it from them! My order was cancelled and I'm gutted

Dfg15 · 12/11/2016 11:42

Mine is on its way too - black one

DrScholl · 12/11/2016 12:31

mine arrived today

Advice0nscarplease · 12/11/2016 12:36

Mine arrived today.size 8 (regular length) in black.
It's ok, not as amazing as I had been led to believe though. I'm 5"7 tall and it's still pretty long - down to my knees even if I scrunch it up a bit at the top. Would have preferred it to be a bit shorter. Will be good for work though so I'm keeping it. I only paid a tenner so happy enough for that price.

BoSelectaBigBiff · 12/11/2016 12:56

Mine arrived today - black 10. It's going back though. I'm sorry, I just don't get all the hype. It was too long on me (I'm 5'5") and just looked like any other bog standard tube skirt. The ruching didn't really add anything. And it made my bum look massive (which it isn't).

I'm sure it looks really good on lots of people, but sadly not on me.

DrScholl · 12/11/2016 13:51

i am 5 7. like the length

JinkxMonsoon · 12/11/2016 13:54

Mine arrived today and went straight back too Grin

Liked the length, the fabric and how comfy it was, but my fat arse still looked fat.
