Boden dress fans? Am I just an odd shape??

Never bought a Boden actual dress before

Odd kaftan style or holiday cover up

Just received 3 different styles of what appear to be classic simple shirt style dresses

On each one the waist belt loops are around two inches too high.

This is me isn't it?? I need stretching up, I must have a compressed torso??

Hhhhmmmm

By the way I'm what I thought an average 5'6" curvy 14

My waist is on my ribcage, at the bottom. Is that weird?!

'then succumbed last week to a green shirt dress, but it's as high waisted as ever,'

Fozzley yes!! Same dress

Think I'm going to leave a review never normally read them or leave them but will start

Any of you had any of the current swimsuits??

In need of bust support and general shaping....

True to size?

However if bust shelf comes up to my chins....although useful to support them I will have to re think🤔

I had to send a swimsuit back too as the waist was too low on me! I truly am a weirdo

I'm 5'3 with C/D-cup and Boden dresses in regular 12 pretty much always fit me well. I've had the odd one in petite to raise the hemline a bit but it is not an essential.

Toddlerteaplease · 25/06/2018 22:09

I've bought several Biden things of eBay. Only one has ever fitted!

VanGoghsDog · 25/06/2018 22:55

I have breasts, 34E here.

At 5'11 i find the tall sized boden dresses are just longer in the skirt not adjusted in the waist. I've had the waist line hit just below the bust in the stretchy summer dresses they do.
Seperates are ok but I'd never buy a boden dress again .

Nandocushion · 26/06/2018 04:33

Yes yes yes! Have just re-ordered my favourite dress in a Long because of the rib-waist thing. I'm 5'8".

@AhAgain
If you’re a size 10, it’s very unlikely that your true bra size is 34B. It’s probably closer to 30D or thereabouts. Check out booborbust.com
