What a pity it’s so sold out ! Great sleeves. Nice on the waist and bust. Lovely fabric. 5*

Model looks amazing, most women would not look good it in, especially if not a size 8.

Laughing at you generous folk seeing it, disliking it and sparing time out of your day to type that you dislike it. 😀

I think it's awful 🙊

Madagascary · 21/10/2022 08:50

Just looked at the green colour, don’t know what they done to it because although it’s not loose it is certainly not skintight like that

Love the green. This is just my type of thing but I only buy stuff on offer and have a horrible feeling this won't last that long!

Numbat2022 · 21/10/2022 08:52

I like that it's human-shaped and not massively oversized or frilly. The fabric looks like it sits nicely and the neckline would be flattering on most.

Really dislike the sleeves though. I like to be able to push my sleeves back, which wouldn't be possible with those tight cuffs. It would be perfect with 3/4 length sleeves (not balloon).

Boden price for sales nowadays, they know no-one buys full price. Their clothes seem to vary in quality a lot, though definitely still at the better end of things.

I don't think you understand how MN, or indeed conversation, works.

PErhaps you could have said "fawning, positive posts that remark on my amazing good tasteonly please" and we could have all given you a wide berth?

Madagascary · 21/10/2022 08:57

Lol. No I have no clue how mumsnet works. Thanks

I have a generous enbompoint and actually it’s ace.

I’m not sure this top is for you then.

lentilly · 21/10/2022 09:00

Nah I hate the sleeves

Madagascary · 21/10/2022 09:09

But @Herejustforthisone i have it. That’s the point. It’s nice. Couple of mates too

Can we see it on you? Would you post a pic?

So are you after style advice or just advertising the top?

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 21/10/2022 09:13

Madagascary · 21/10/2022 08:01

Thanks for that positive interaction

😂😂

FindingMyself1999 · 21/10/2022 09:13

Fabulist is a post Truss movement OP 😂 Yup you’ve just created it…we just have to see things as Fabulist. People need to read into Fabulism.

(Think I’m going a tad doolally this morning). In the meantime, I like the top but I need a V neck for my big boobies and my bulging belly doesn’t allow for tucking in.

Oh right. Didn’t realise you were promoting it.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 21/10/2022 09:15

I like it, but the neckline would make me look crap. It’s a very Boden neckline.

Do you understand this site? It's a conversation site.

RampantIvy · 21/10/2022 09:19

Sadly, boat necks are not for me. They just emphasise my long scrawny neck.

Numbat2022 · 21/10/2022 09:19

I have huge boobs and the top would suit me - I'm fine with anything that shows my collarbones. V neck is definitely most flattering but boat neck is fine.

happygertie · 21/10/2022 09:19

Looks like it should be 30 quid from M&S.

Fuckallthetories · 21/10/2022 09:23

Oohhhh I have this. It’s lovely (making you jealous Grin)

SallyWD · 21/10/2022 09:25

I don't like it. I'd feel silly wearing those sleeves. But each to their own.

TheFeistyFeminist · 21/10/2022 09:25

I have a similar (toned down) version from a cheap high street shop that I really like, but this is better. I find a boat neck is more forgiving than a V neck when you have one shoulder higher than the other. Example, the other week on Strictly people were criticising Shirley because the point of her V neck wasn't dead centre in her cleavage.

Hope the colour you like comes back into stock in your size.
