Thinking of getting ds some clothes for the summer...he is 2 yrs (just) and imo small for his age..(Next: 18-24 ish..)

Im wanting to order from the baby section (not keen on stuff for older boys..) which is max size 18-24 mths..

Whats their sizing like.? Generous..?
Ordered stuff for him last yr but can't remember lol!

If you get the free delivery and returns, just order both sizes and send back the one that doesn't fit. I always do this. It's by far the easiest option as some things come up big and others small IMO.

woodenspoon2 · 03/03/2009 15:35

Children's sizing is big.

duckyfuzz · 03/03/2009 15:36

generous for kids

ah right..thanks everyone..will get 18-24 as I think it should be fine for the summer..

One more question...
Would you order these for a boy...

I so hate boys clothes and stress each time I need to get ds stuff and end up spoiling dd instead .

IMO the colour is fine but not sure if "bloomer" style is only for a girl..? Maybe I could get the elasticated bottom bit removed..?

I wouldn't put a boy in those tbh and I'm not normally very fussy over boy/girl things.

The baggies or the boarders much nicer imo.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 03/03/2009 17:14

Oh and very generous fit, and the code tyou will give you £10 off a £30 spend with free p and p and can be used multiple times.

SuzeMcG · 03/03/2009 18:14

Hi, what is the promotional code for 20% off please?

Mini Boden is generously sized.

dexter73 · 03/03/2009 18:18

If you enter the Boden site by clicking on the link that Shhhh posted then you will get the 20% automatically rather than typing in a code.

SuzeMcG · 03/03/2009 19:19

Nope, it doesn't show up for me.

SuzeMcG · 03/03/2009 20:08

I still don't see the discount but just as well really as I have been banned from buying DD new clothes for a while!

Hi PaL, how are you doing? I was on the April 08 thread with you. They are nearly 1 now.

popsycal · 03/03/2009 20:10

i see it saing 10% of £80, 12% off £160 etc...
no 20%

newpup · 03/03/2009 20:22

Not everyone gets the same discounts. I found this out when my sil got a fab discount sent by e-mail and I did not. I phoned them and they explained they e-mail different offers to different people. I received an e-mail today with 20% off until Thurs but my friend or my sil did not get the same offer.

popsycal · 03/03/2009 20:24

hmm they have stopped sending me emails

popsycal · 03/03/2009 20:25

hmm
i wanrt 20 %

newpup · 03/03/2009 20:32

You could try phoning them and asking them why you do not have the discount but a friend does. My friend did this and said it was a shame as she would only make an order if she had the offer, guess what - they gave her the offer You could e-mail customer services if you do not fancy phoning. Might be worth it.

duckyfuzz · 03/03/2009 20:39

try this for 15% off - I know its not 20% but every little helps!
