Boden - sizing

Have just been looking at the sale stuff - not sure I could afford the nonsale!

Have never bought anything from there so are the sizes big or small?

Have also seen nice swiming costume for dd - what are childrens sizes like?

Its hard to say, but either look up the sizing for the item and have a look at the reviews too. You can always send it back and re-order.
They do tend to fit slimmer children better.

I find the sizes quite generous, bigger than Gap for example.
My DD is above average in size. She is nearly 4 and I have just bought her some items that are 3-4 and they fit her nicely and will be ok for the summer.

The womens sizing is generous, ime, but they do tend to be a bit short in the body. I am 5'7" and find that the normal length tops can be a good 2-3 inches shorter than I'd like.

Kids sizing is pretty average maybe bordering on the snug, I'd say. My DD is 6 and I buy age 8 stuff for her but she is tall for her age so I have to size up at least one size for most brands.

The childrens sizes seem really small to me - dd is 10 and is already in 13-14 years - she is 4 foot 10 inches and 6 stone so not exactly chubby or tall.

mmmm - think got dd sorted but not sure for me.

Always end up buying stuff for her as its pretty sure to look good!
