fancy ordering some of their cropped trousers. Some shops i am a size 8, some a size 10 - what do you reckon I would need from Boden. Can't be arsed with sending back etc if too small / big.

The offer at the moment is free returns, so I'd order both sizes and send one back. I did order some tops a little while back and even though I ordered the same but in different colours, one colour came up a full inch smaller than the other two in the same style. So, I'd say it can be a bit hit & miss.

Get both, try 'em on, send one back. Win-win situation with free returns.

yes I could but I hate queueing at the post office ..... is there a deadline for when you have to return them by? I am not feeling very organised at the moment, trying to cheer myself up with internet shopping (got flu ). Eating a lot of chocolate so maybe will get the 10's .....

I'm not sure, but I think you have 28 days to return 'em. It's worth getting both I think. I often order things in 2 different colour options when they have the free delivery & returns, coz it's really very little hastle really to return the one you don't like so much, and you really can't always tell from the website or catalogue which is going to suit you better.

Good luck!

I think they come up large, although that is in the 16 size, so whether smaller sizes also come up large I don't know.

They are always the last clothes to get tight if I put weight on....

Even bigger than M&S!

I bought one top in an 8 and it was massive, miles too big. And I'm not a teeny-tiny type of 8, either - I wear a 10 sometimes. So that really puts me off ordering tops from then, but then I like them fitted, and can't stand baggy tops.

SilentTerror · 18/04/2008 19:53

I find trousers difficult thb. Some I am a 10,some a 12. Really is try on and see am afraid!

barbamama · 18/04/2008 20:00
