'tis a miracle...I've actually spotted something in Boden that I like but I need to know if their sizing is small/ generous

Bit to be even contemplating buying something from them.
In my defence it is neither a jolly patterned item or described as sassy....

The short term offers thing is v clever as gets you going back to the site. Not that I will as I can't bear to see all that "sassy" "flippy" stuff. I practically got the shakes looking through the site, although here I am about to stick something in my basket (that sounds a bit rude doesn't it)

So....generous or skimpy sizing?

OP posts:

they are not too generous, and I find their t-shirt material always shrinks ever so slightly. I have a few things were sleeves are shorter and tighter around chest, my little sister does well out of it!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 27/02/2009 22:00

lovely clothes at Uttam I have had stuff from them - great service too. Have a look

SoupDragon · 27/02/2009 22:00

I would say their sizing is variable. I've had coats that were generous and fitted one size down and other stuff that was spot on.

Sorry BALDogs but that's so not my thing. I don't think I could get away with the patterns without looking frumpy but I'm sure others can and don't!

Ok so I normally go for a 10 on top and a 12 on my bum....so which to go for. Some 12s drown my top half, some 10s are too small on my bum.

OP posts:
controlfreakythecontrolfreak · 27/02/2009 22:07

like the second more than first..... i'd go with a 10 myself.... i think they tend to be generous on top half...

SoupDragon · 27/02/2009 22:14

If you have a free returns offer, go for both and return the one which doesn't fit

I think a 10 should be fine though.
