Boden sizing

17 replies

Tiptopj · 14/09/2019 22:42

For anyone that wears their clothes- can you tell me what their sizing is typically like. I'm usually a size 12 but I can be anywhere from a 10 to a 14 on the high street (warehouse newlook Wallis ect) but I'm not sure how generous the sizing is with Boden. Thank you

It's fairly generous. I'm a 10-12 and a Biden 10 fits me well.

Boden- ffs autocorrect

I found the tops roomy but the trousers on the tighter side. Most items will have a guide from previous customer feedback.

I think it’s more on the snug side actually. Trousers are definitely cut for a narrower thigh than mine. The waist is fine though.

Thank you both

Tops definitely generous . I am a 14 and the last medium I bought was huge on me and it should have been semi fitted style.

I'm a 10 on the high street but a 6 in Boden .

I think the Richmond trousers are probably meant to be cut for a pear shape as they don’t work well on me. I am an apple and used to love the bistro trousers and have had some success with the Kensington trousers.

Varies I have dresses from 12-16.

I think their sizing is difficult to predict. I never know if I'm a 10 or 12. I find it a bit pot luck and slightly annoying.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 14/09/2019 23:13

I'm a 12/14 and I find Boden fairly accurate. I used to find them too narrow across the shoulders and bust as they seemed to design for flat chested women but that has improved a lot in the last few years.

I find they are fairly true to size.

BoudicasBoudoir · 15/09/2019 07:27

I find tops big, skirts and trousers smaller.

Thedevilofsmallthings · 15/09/2019 07:32

I find them true to size.

I would confidently buy an 8 from ebay in Boden and expect it to fit.

winewolfhowls · 15/09/2019 07:45

Big boobs here and anywhere from a 12 to 14 on the high street. Boden 12 in dresses is just right, and I buy various styles yearly for work, but haven't tried any other garment

Ellapaella · 15/09/2019 09:15

I've ordered two of the same tops before in a 10 and a 12 unsure which would fit best and they were both exactly the same size!
