Nothing Boden do is any good for sizeable boobs

YoComoManzanas · 29/03/2022 19:39

There are other swimwear catalogues for you to perve over. Wierd post.

Is there something wrong with being flat chested @iCod? Hmm

True although I liked their plain t shirts - kind of slash neck last summer

I feel weird scrolling through swimwear looking at tits.

Models usually have smaller boobs than the public. I don’t know what the actual swimwear is like.

iCod · 29/03/2022 19:48

It’s not looking for boobs 😂 .. or actually maybe it is

So you think there should be some gaping fabric around the size 6-8 model’s bust? Confused

Presumably the bigger sizes give more space for boobs.

You can buy tops and bottoms separately so I don’t see the issue.

Some women have small boobs, do you think there should be no bikinis for them?

I have long thought it weird Boden haven't embraced the under wired bra sized swimwear genre a la Freya and Bravissimo.

Most Boden customers are middle aged and likely to need a bit more 'structure' than 2 triangles on a string.

All their clothes: for 45 year old mothers.

Their swimwear: for lithe 18yr olds.

I'm sure they used to do more cup size bikinis a while back

iCod · 29/03/2022 19:55

It is odd. Not a hint of a cup

OP posts:
woodhill · 29/03/2022 19:57

Definitely used to a 32c cup as I had one back in the day

PurpleDaisies · 29/03/2022 19:57

Pretty rubbish selection of cup sizes available. Nothing to fit me.

gogohm · 29/03/2022 20:02

Just looked, nothing in my size at all

MalagaNights · 29/03/2022 20:06

Actually the deep v with a thick underband style can work well for those of us requiring both support and concealment. I discovered this last year.
And they have a few of those.

Quite nice.

I'm 37 and have had two dc who I breastfed don't mind are fairly flat. I've been a 32 B all my life...does that make me less of a woman? Honestly @icod as much as you think your being critical of Boden you are actually making some women feel like shit in the process...thanks for that Hmm

shabbalabba · 29/03/2022 20:18

So mine not don't mind... 🙈

Notonthestairs · 29/03/2022 20:27

I agree Boden clothes don't really cater for bigger busts. Or any sort of heft really

What??!! You are utterly bonkers.

How the fuck is she making you feel shit by saying that Boden's swimwear doesn't cater for women with bigger boobs??

I would suggest it's you with the problem.

Hoppinggreen · 29/03/2022 20:30

I have boobs and a couple of Boden swimsuits. They are ok but not the best

DietrichandDiMaggio · 29/03/2022 20:30

They are slim models with busts in proportion to their size. In the first photo where they are lying on their backs you can definitely see the curve at the side of boobs, but everybody looks flatter when lying on their back.

HardbackWriter · 29/03/2022 20:33

This is a really horrible thread in the way it's talking about other women's bodies. If they don't make swimwear that works for your body then don't buy from them but there's no need to insult the women that it does work for.

shabbalabba · 29/03/2022 20:37

@vipersputpaidtomylastusername OP' never once said, oh Boden don't cater for my size! Her words are as I have quoted above...practically slagging off the models! PLENTY of women have smaller boobs...THAT is my issue!!

shabbalabba · 29/03/2022 20:38

@HardbackWriter my sentiments exactly!
