Boden - what sort of shape woman suits their clothes?

The catalogue seems to be all rake thin women with no tits or arse to speak of, so the clothes don't look all that 'shaped'. Can anyone recommend them? I am quite big busted and have a stomach, shall I bother?

I am 5'7", sz12, 32F norkage. The tops fit me quite well but I find the coats are often a bit hit and miss. The sizing is generous, imo. I bought this dress and had to down a size as it was too roomy in my normal size.

Love that dress NDP

The dresses seem to fit me (size 14ish, biggish boobs at moment and 5'4") but the tops are sometimes are shorter than I would like them. Haven't tried the trousers or skirts

'Tis fab gobble and rather sexy in an elegant, understated sort of a way.

Would be on my 'to buy' list if I worked in an office but I just don't think I'd wear it otherwise.

Fir seems quite varible, sometimes works on my, sometimes doesn't (5'8", 14, curvy), but generally trousers are long and tops are short.

The less structured items work best on me.

And their shoes are tiny.

Hiya, am an apple shape - i.e. blubber belly but small arse. Am really technically a size 14/16 at the mo (boo, but DS3 is only 7 weeks old) - but am wearing size 14 boden trousers that seem really saggy on my bum. Am wearing them because they make me feel like i must be losing weight. Also have dresses and they are fine.

well I find the fit all over the place- I am a size 10 and 5' 3"- the tops are fine but all the trousers are too long, and often skimpy on the waist but big in the hips- so I reckon they are for an hour glass figure! I am a bit of a column shape- small hips and bum,and a waist- well, what waist?
