Boden ruched skirt in clearance available to order!

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.

Been wearing mine today. It rides up and has ridden up to under my boobs. Have to keep pulling it down.

DrScholl · 12/11/2016 16:41

Not a problem here. Is it too small ?

Advice0nscarplease · 12/11/2016 16:46

Definitely not too small. I'm normally a 6-8 but got the 8. If anything it's too big around the waist. It's cut very straight whereas I'm quite hourglass with a much smaller waist than hips. Probably just doesn't suit my body shape.

Mumelie · 12/11/2016 16:50

I bought the black ruched dress instead of the skirt and have worn it today with a lose jumper over - love it! No riding up and really flattering (and I'm a size 14 with a big arse).

slightlypeevedwombat · 12/11/2016 16:56

mine arrived today - the 16 is nice and comfy and the 14 a little snug (am dieting at the mo so will hang on to it)

LittleG69 · 13/11/2016 10:07

My size 14 arrived yesterday and it's going back so if anyone wants it before I send it back let me know

Fuzzypeggy · 13/11/2016 17:00

Me please little, I've pm d you

teawamutu · 14/11/2016 07:28

First outing for my black skirt this morning: super comfortable, flattering, managed jog to the station in heels without riding up. Impressed.

Really hope I get the striped one too.

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 14/11/2016 14:13

nearly any word on yours?
Mine is black and a keeper. Sorry fuzzy Hope you find one.
I'm 5 9 and like it a bit longer but I've yet to master the ruche.

myfriendnigel · 14/11/2016 22:16

My size 12 black one came and I don't like it on me-so if anyone wants it please pm me...

SwedishEdith · 14/11/2016 22:20

Just tried mine on. It's 'fine' - that's all I can say about it really. I'll keep it as it's for work but I'm glad I didn't pay full price.

Fuzzypeggy · 15/11/2016 08:40

I've pm'd you myfriendnigel

Dfg15 · 15/11/2016 12:58

I like mine but none of my jumpers or tops look right with it not sure what to do

Pyrrha · 15/11/2016 12:59

I've got mine on today, love it! I've got in in black and long, I'm 5 4 so it's just below the knees. I'm wearing it with a black/grey fine knit jumper, feels a bit Joan from Mad Men which is good! Agree that I wouldn't have paid full price though.

PrancerForHoney · 15/11/2016 13:26

I got mine yesterday. I'm a 12-14 and got the long one in 14. It's great. It fits nicely and hides my empty baby belly so I don't look like a sausage! I have it on for work today but it's making me sweat as it's thick material and the office is like a sauna.

myfriendnigel · 15/11/2016 13:59

I've replied Smile

leedy · 15/11/2016 16:41

Got mine yesterday as well - am a bit in two minds. I'm a 12 -14 but the 14 is definitely too big in the waist and going back. The 12 is, as a pp said, "fine", but I'm not particularly excited by it. Might need to try it on with some things before I make a definite decision.

WakingGuffaw · 15/11/2016 18:25

DOes anyne have a 10L?

Mine was despatched but apparently lost in the post so I've been refunded.

MrsSchadenfreude · 15/11/2016 23:23

I got mine and it's going straight back. Too big on the waist and didn't do anything for me.

leedy · 16/11/2016 14:28

I'm wearing mine today with a slightly a-line blue tee and I like it, though I'm not sure what it provides over and above a normal jersey skirt (unlike the ruched dress, which is genuinely fabulous) - the ruching seems to be mostly in an area covered by my top, unless I start wearing crop tops to work, or tucking tops into it but I think that'd look odd. Definitely wouldn't have paid full price for it and not entirely sure why it got such glowing reviews.

(also am I alone in finding it a bit tricky to pull back down over tights after going to the loo? Just me then....)

PrancerForHoney · 16/11/2016 15:35

Me as well with the tights and toilet!

LoveHarry · 16/11/2016 20:47

Wearing mine today. Black size 12. Very happy with it.

ThomasRichard · 17/11/2016 10:02

I'm wearing mine at work today and possibly on a date later if I can find a top to go with it. It looks nice but it does ride up.

Mrs9C · 17/11/2016 11:21

I bought a 10 and a 12. 12 looks like it'll ride up, in two minds about the 10... not quite what I expected for the hype.

teawamutu · 18/11/2016 18:47

Just got an email - the striped one's on the way too Grin

I know not everyone's getting on with them, but I love my black one so v happy.
