Quick Boden question...

[DavetheCat2001]

Boden have 25% off everything from today until Thursday, so I am going to order this tunic:

www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/womens-tops-t-shirts/3_4-sleeved-tops/j0112-grn/womens-sap-green-floral-bouquet-miriam-jersey-tunic

I'm unsure though which size to go for as it varies from shop to shop and I have never got anything from Boden before.

Would you think this type of tunic/dress would come up on the small or larger side? I plan to wear it as a sundress so going for regular length I think, but not sure whether to size up or down.

I am flattish of chest (34A), waist 27.5 inches and 36 inches would the hips.

Boden sizing is usually generous so you may need to go down a size to usual. When it comes to length, I am 5'7'' and generally buy their long length tunics, dresses and trousers. Sometimes the tunic length is quite short so you may prefer a long length even if you are shorter than me..... HTH

Thanks blodynmawr

I'm 5ft 7 too so very helpful!

I've sized down and will return it if too small.

I was going to say the opposite, historically they've been big but I think their sizing has been better lately and you'll probably be a size 10. I have size 12 petite dresses from there that fit perfectly (just like they did in the 90s) whereas most places I'm a size 10. It might just be the petite clothing that this is true of though.

I did their fit predictor thing and it came up as an 8 after I said I wear a 10 in Oasis and French Connection, I suppose I should have ordered both sizes to try on.

You won't be a 10 I don't think. I'm a similar size to you and I wear an 8 in Boden dresses. Some of them are even a bit baggy.

Great thanks.

25% off everything till Thursday ladies (enabling)!

If they are doing free returns, order both sizes and return one once you've decided.

They are I think.

Has anyone else ordered anything recently?

I think Boden is true to size, personally I don't think tops are at all generous. I would order two sizes and return one.
I was tempted to order a dress with the discount but there are only 2 I like, one is out of stock for the next 2 weeks and the other is £80 for a jersey dress! Totally overpriced for what is essentially just a basic jersey dress.

That dress you have linked to Dave is lovely, hadn't spotted that when I was browsing through. If there's a big discount it's probably better to order two sizes if you're not sure as they will probably sell out fairly quick.

That's lovely. Free delivery and returns so I'd order multiple sizes.

Btw, never, ever pay 'full price' for anything at Boden. They're discount code crazy.

Thanks ella

Only just noticed that the green dress is out of stock for the next 2 weeks too! I'm sure I didn't see that when I placed the order..

hmmm..my order says 2-3 days so maybe they have just had a rush on because of the discount.

The size 10 is out of stock for 2 weeks now..wish I'd bloody ordered it along with the 8! grrrr!

Hungover and a bit wooly headed today!
