yes, how did you know?
it hung quite wrong over the breasts

Nbg · 04/08/2007 17:05

Why didnt you get the long grey cardi with the waist tie thing?

Was relying on you for honest write up before I splashed out.

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 17:16

The very last thing is the only thing I tagged in the book.

I'm also after

this dress

this cardy type thing

possibly this

quite like this but would need to see it on

Nbg · 04/08/2007 17:28

Let me know if you get it.

What are back hamsters?

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 18:12

Is it where if you have a fat back you have 2 bits that sort of sag at the side?

I don't have them btw!

LadyMacbeth · 04/08/2007 18:19

I really want that tunic in kingfisher or maybe pear.

How do you ger 20% off? Have I overlooked one of their many emails?

Have to say it looks like nothing special in the product shots but great on the model.

LadyMacbeth · 04/08/2007 18:21

Are the sleeves three quarter length?

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 18:21

Cod you must have been half cut when you ordered that sleeveless cardy thing - it's heeeedious!

SilentTerror · 04/08/2007 18:21

Mine came on Wednesday.I ordered the velvet coat and it didn't suit me either,looked huge.Many try an 8 but could be the cut as you say Cod.Bought the velvet slouchy trousers too,have got some from last year in a 10 that fit,this year's too small,need a 12!
Why are Boden sizes never consistent?

NotADragonOfSoup · 04/08/2007 18:22

Some of those things are hideous!

Turquoise · 04/08/2007 18:26

I love that tunic, don't know how I missed it. Love the colour of the velvet coat but the cut would make me look heavily pregnant.
Have ordered this in kingfisher.

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 18:42

It is a 'particularly charming shape' turquoise! ha ha!

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 18:43

I have to say Soupy, Boden stuff often looks much better on - on a 'normal' person with normal other clothes on.

NotADragonOfSoup · 04/08/2007 19:42

Some of them are hideous because of the patterns they choose though

NotADragonOfSoup · 04/08/2007 19:47

The velvet coat I love though. In black or Mercury. but £125?? Nooooo.

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 21:14

True about the patterns (sometimes)
Yep - the velvet coat I am looking at mercury

Gobbledigook · 04/08/2007 21:15

£125, hmmm, yeah, I'm worth it

SilentTerror · 04/08/2007 22:14

Velvet coat is an odd shape though.Def need to go down a size i think.Wonder if velvet jacket better?
