I mean come on. Nothing This pic being one of many.
Are all boden women flat chested?

OP posts:
MeanMrMustardSeed · 29/03/2022 20:41

Looking at the photos, those women have much larger boobs than me!

Take your point though!

HardbackWriter · 29/03/2022 20:41

Plus 'got no tits' - which immediately made me bristle at the thread because it reminded me of something that was said to me by people being unpleasant when I was a teenager. Then I saw the second picture, which OP is mocking and is more or less what I'd look like in that swimsuit. It's really not a nice way of talking about other women's bodies.

ProfessorInkling · 29/03/2022 20:41

If you’re small of boob and offended then take comfort in knowing you can wear anything from Boden’s SS22 swimwear range 👍🏻

I like some of the swimsuits on Cupshe. Room for boobs but would mine behave? uk.cupshe.com/products/floral-and-black-plunge-halter-one-piece-swimsuit

jimpamdwight · 29/03/2022 20:41

@HardbackWriter exactly.
On top of that having small boobs I wouldn't find a selection of swimwear online where the models have a fuller bust and then come online and absolutely tear them apart because it doesn't work for me! Bizarre and rude

sweepeep · 29/03/2022 20:42

@vipersputpaidtomylastusername the very name of the thread is ridiculous! "Good if you've got no tits right..." I mean ffs it's 2022 are we not supposed be embracing all sizes? But in @iCod case she has blasted smaller chested women in order instead of actually saying "isn't it a shame that Boden don't cater for bigger breast sizes" ffs...

HeadNorth · 29/03/2022 20:43

I prefer S&B to focus on clothes and make up, not make snide digs at certain body types. All sizes of women are equally valid and why shouldn’t Boden cater for smaller breasted women in the smaller sizes? No one slags Evans off for making clothes for bigger women only.

Squiz81 · 29/03/2022 20:47

Maybe it’s nice for flat chested women to be represented and normalised? I’m a 41 year mum of 2 and my body is a lot like the bikini picture. Plus as far as I can see the lady in the swimsuit isn’t flat chested.

One shop isn’t going to cater for everyone. I don’t go on Bravissimo and then moan that the women all have big boobs.

SoManyTshirts · 29/03/2022 20:48

Came on to the thread to check out the swimwear, I don’t need a bra and I definitely don’t need one in my swimming costume. (34b-ish). Have real trouble finding something that doesn’t gape in the pool.

Looks great, thank you!

Because as we all know, it’s somehow more socially acceptable to be a larger size, than slimmer than average! If you see a larger lady, you wouldn’t dream of asking who ate all the pies but a skinny girl is somehow fair game for comments about her figure.

Suretobe · 29/03/2022 20:51

I hear you. I’m a size 8 with a DD chest and there’s no way Boden swimwear can work for me. It would be nice if they catered to a range of sizes.

Coconut80 · 29/03/2022 21:03

I totally disagree the best costume i have is by boden and im a generous D cup. Its a few years old no bobbling or fading. Its spitty and has underwire and cup, really supportive, if i remember i bought the specific cup sized costume. Lits of things are poor about boden but their swimwear in my opinion is fab and very flattering for my sz 12 D cup body x

Same. I'd love to be able to wear their swimwear, but there's absolutely no chance.
OverByYer · 29/03/2022 21:12

The world of Boden comprises of tall, willowy, leggy beauties. Unfortunately I’m average curvy with welsh legs. I get my cossies from Marks’

Luredbyapomegranate · 29/03/2022 21:17

🤷‍♀️ They are models. Lots of women have small to medium boobs. If you have big boobs, plenty of places cater for that. This is post is v v weird.

BringMeTea · 29/03/2022 21:21

I bought a Boden bikini top recently. Large of nork. It actually showed a model in the size 16 top. The Corsica. Bigger model shown in navy.

RobertaFirmino · 29/03/2022 21:26

Boden swimwear. Good if you’ve got no tits right?

And so fucking what? If Boden don't cater for you then don't shop there. It's that simple!

I'm one of those women with 'no tits'. That's why I don't shop at Bravissimo. I don't feel the need to start a thread slagging them off though.

She’s complaining about the swimwear. If she’s mocking anyone it’s Johnnie Boden . Having big beasts causes clothing problems. This is a fact, it’s nothing to do with insults/ judgement ( again apart from JB) or body shaming. It’sa fashion irritation, not a treatise on how Women’s bodies should be. In fact the diversity of women’s bodies and the need to be catered for is what is being highlighted.
BringMeTea · 29/03/2022 21:31

Yes. Nothing remotely offensive in the OP but you know this place these days...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/03/2022 21:32

So much weird outrage on here.

The bikini in that first pic would barely cover my nipples these days.

sofiasa · 29/03/2022 22:19

They haven't got 'no tits' OP. Nice Hmm

But I don't think they do generally cater for the larger chest sizes where swimsuits are concerned.

Rickrollme · 29/03/2022 22:27

I don’t wear a lot of Biden stuff but I love their swimwear. I’m a 38D so I’ve definitely got tits!

MidnightMeltdown · 29/03/2022 22:28

I don't think that the women wearing the swimsuits look particularly flat chested. I'm a 32dd and I don't think that I would look much different in a high neck swimsuit like that. Especially when lying down with no bra and arms up.

GranolaHolmes · 29/03/2022 23:24

I suspect you are right.
Having been big of boob and then small of boob, my Boden swimsuit purchase only happened once they were small.
Quite liked a biba swimsuit when I needed more cuppage.

Branleuse · 29/03/2022 23:36

Its a shame, as i really love some of their swimwear but it just doesnt have the boobspace.
Ive been quite impressed with the boobspace of asda costumes though if you take the removable pads out

DoreensEatingHerSoreen · 29/03/2022 23:41

Oooh will have to check them out seeing as following a double mastectomy, I literally have no tits! 😁
