I just lost my Boden virginity and it was...

[PeggySioux]

... a bit of a disappointment really.

The chocolate grandad top is okay.

But This skirt in beige which would have been £70 not in the sale is very similar to what you can pick up in Sainsburys for a tenner. It's a weirdy length (not ankle length like it looks in the picture) and has a thin elasticated waist.

I was expecting to be awed and wowed by the sumptiousness of my posh new threads. Instead I'm sending half of it back.

Boden is most highly over priced, poorly produced, bad quality clothing

Style over content.

I've always hankered after the image they sell, all happy smiley beautiful families on the beach etc.

Really it is crap.
A case of the emperor's new clothes I'm afraid.

I do really want it to be worth it, even just a little bit.
The kids' clothes are better though.

Yes, the children's clothes are lovely.
Shan't bother buying for myself there again.

i bought that skirt, and was reall disgusted by it. sent itback needless to say .
recently their quality has become really crap. a few years ago, wheni was a boden virgin, and mn convinced me to give them a go, i was duly awed by the quality of stuff coming through te h mailbox. but not anymore. Johnnie needs to yhave a good rethink. he is losing customers.

dont believet he prices. no one pays full price. even if it isnt int he sale, there is the standing ten percent off, and usually you can find other discount codes. so for example, is you use mn, you get 10% off. quidco will give 8% cashback, plus you can use other codes. so if using 8% plus a 15%, you dont pay anywhere near the stated price.
