I ordered last night. Swishy skirt in brown with bits sewn round bottom, plus 'fun ' mini.

What is a fun mini??

What are Boden sizings like? I am 10ish on top and 12ish on bottom, and have odered 12 in both skirts. 12 in M and S is too big on me; 12 in Top Shop slightly too tight.

Aha ! mine just arrived. Sending back 1 skirt, 1 bikini top and 1 nightie and 1 pair of pedal pushers. There might be another skirt coming back when the 3rd one I ordered arrives when my Mum comes to visit on thurs (i bunged it on her order when I realised i wanted it).

Keeping 1 dress, 1 skirt, 1 top, 1 pair of trousers, 1 bikini shorts, 1 bikini top, 2 dresses for dd, 1 pair pedal pushers, 1 t-shirt and 1 skort.

Notyummy - I'd say their sizes are about right, perhaps a bit big (or I've lost more weight than I thought - hopefuly emoticon).

ChippyMinton · 08/07/2008 16:11

Oh dear - I have inadvertently made DD and I honorary members of

"Mums and daughters that dress alike R US"

with our swimming costumes

Mine arrived today. Only ordered dresses for dd, they are fab and I am keeping them all!

GrapefruitMoon · 08/07/2008 17:30

Mine arrived today too. One of the things I ordered was that dress that no-one liked - and I quite like it on!

I was pleasantly surprised at not having to pay postage - I thought we had to when it was the sale?

Piffle · 08/07/2008 17:35

wideleg jeans are FAB
I have no hips and skinny legs and they look awesome had loads of compliments

iamdingdong · 08/07/2008 19:05

mine arrived today, can't try it on as have hurt my back and can't really move

MuffinMclay · 08/07/2008 19:20

Mine just came. Nothing for me though.

2 hats for the dcs - fine. I know ds1 will refuse to wear his anyway.
2 jumpers for ds1 - nice.
romper suit for ds2 - nice, but colours quite different to the picture
2 double cuff shirts for dh - not sure about one of them, colour again nothing like the picture.

got them today
Does anyone know how much it costs to return something? it's really annoying cos it's just a pack of 2 bandanas I need to return, the rest was great.
I know dd (age 2) has a large bonce but her bandanas (supposedly for up to 8 years were too tight.

Ordered some childrens stuff on Friday am and it came today but I never had a despatch e-mail! Was a little annoyed that all the childrens trousers had gone in the sizes I wanted by 7.30 am on the first day!!

The U.S.A had first choice I suppose.

Which trousers did you get bythepowerofgreyskull ? I've ordered some but they haven't arrived yet - smart wideleg turn ups, but am wondering if I should have ordered the linen version instead. However, I have a vague recollection that Boden trousers look crap on me, so wonder why I bothered

andiem · 08/07/2008 20:27

mine arrived today as well have kept 2 dresses wideleg sailor trousers and two linen shirts rest have sent back
am very pleased with what I have kept though
halterneck dress is very nice and supportive of my bf mammaries
