Anyone got one?

What is the quality like, and do the sizes come up true to size or large/small?

I bought 3 a couple of years ago so can't speak for this year's batch!

Lovely quality fabric and nice styles.

BUT - the tops squished and flattened my boobs a bit (maybe should have sized up?) and the more structured styles came with weird padding bits inside so they stayed wet for ages after I got out of the pool on holiday, which I found annoying. Hoiked them out in the end (the padding bits, not my boobs).

Perhaps if I'd tried a different size it would have been fine (I'm big of boob so struggle anyway).

Thanks! I am small of bosom so not much to squish Grin

It's just tricky when you are between sizes to know which to go for.

It's free returns at the moment anyway so I guess I can always change my mind.

I got a mix and match one with boy shorts and a halter top. It is really flattering and hard wearing and I’m not that into Boden but I would buy another one.

I got one this year. I am a pear shape but normally would buy a size 12 bottoms and a size 10-12 top. I ended up with a size 10 top and 14 bottoms!
I am very happy with the quality and fit

I got a tankin last year, a size 10 top as I’m quite large cheated & size 6 bottoms fits very well & good thick fabric.

I wouldn't recommend a pattern with white in, both mine have gone yellow.

Used to love their bikinis and swimwear but my bust is now too big for them

It's this one:

Most of the bikini's I have owned with white in them have gone yellowy. I think it must be chlorine in pools/salt in the sea.
