What is Boden sizing like?

Does anyone know how Boden jersey dresses fit please? True to size or larger?

I need them for early next week so have to buy them today. I've put some other shop sizes into their fit predictor and it says I need an 8 but according to their size chart my measurements are a size 10 (my usual size everywhere else)

Could buy both sizes in both dresses and both colours but it'd add up to a lot so trying to avoid.

Thank you very much.

I've decided to go off their size chart as it's actual measurements and have ordered size 10. Fingers crossed.

I find them true to size although occasionally the reviews will tell you to size up or down on individual garments.

icklekid · 25/05/2018 15:28

I find true to size if anything bit large rather than small so size 10 probably right

Growingboys · 25/05/2018 15:29

It's quite large sizes. I would get your actual size and the one down and send one back.

I find them true to size, if sometimes a little large round the bust. I'm a size 12 with 34C bust.

Thank you Smile

I went on the site chat thing and an advisor said the jersey is tight so to get size 10 so I did but now wondering if I should place a second order for size 8s. That'll be 8 dresses in total 😮 Suppose 7 will go back eventually but still.

Reviews weren't very helpful unfortunately. A mixed bag of good, too large and too small.

I think I'll just get the 8s as well and try to sort it out later. Thank you.

Which jersey dress is it? Some run large and some are a bit more figure fitting. If you say which one you are looking at, people may be able to help. I have the Phoebe, and that runs a little large. I have it in a couple of different colourways and they are all different lengths (one knee length, another below the knee and almost mid calf) and fit, but generally on the large side.

Kassidy and the wrap dress. I should've got the 8 I think. My frame is small and they are only fitted at the top so an 8 would've been better.

It's just it's another £300 as I'm not sure which colour either. 🙄

I had a version of the wrap dress a few years ago, and it did run a little large. From what I remember, the Kassidy was very fitted on the top, but there was a huge amount of material in the skirt. It was a nice dress but not for me (my bum is considerably bigger than yours and I felt like a marquee).

EnidButton · 25/05/2018 16:46

Have ordered the 8s as well. Thank you very much for your help.

The kassidy might look odd on me then too, I'm an hourglass type shape and full skirts sometimes hang off my hips and stick out further than they're meant to. We'll see what they're like anyway.

I got the Kassidy in my normal size and it's good. I got the red / orange and then swapped it for the navy, which just came today!

EnidButton · 25/05/2018 17:47

That sounds good Gerbil, thanks. Smile

Just to update for anyone else who does a search in the future...

The Kassidy dress fit better in a size 10 as the 8 clung too much around my arms and chest. The wrap dress was better in a size 8.

Both are going back as the wrap shows my bra at the front and was a bit thin and the kassidy one is too low for what I want it for. I might buy that in a bright colour for my holiday though.

Yeah a lot of Boden dresses are low at the front, I put a cami under them.
