Boden pintuck tunic - they do it in a size 20 but

[Northernlurker]

will it look any good? Am 5ft 3 as well

Hi there - I ordered it in a size 16 and sent it back - the cut was odd, it made my tum look huge (not pg, just amazingly ... squishy.). I really didn't like it, although I have a lot of their stuff.

Link please.

I think this was the tunic that DH said I looked like a 'mormon' in.

Honestly, I think there is no reason to wear a jumper over jeans unless you are a 12 (or even a 10) or under. Why makes things bulkier than they already are? I suppose if you can get away with leggings it would be okay.
I though about getting one for about two seconds and then realised it would not work with my thighs.

sorry link here

Must say it's not sounding hopeful so far!

Oh, I think that will be fine.
I was thinking of the knit versions, but this is viscose.

It's just a long top then really.

Yup - no definately not knitwear! Knitwear and big boobs are not a good comination unless a plunging neckline is involved imo

I think there may be potential for it to look a bit shapeless, however worth trying since they do free returns.

I really love those boots on that page.

Black one would look good with a long funky necklace

lol at Mormon comment

I've got it! I'm a size 10 and it looks great with leggings and skinny jeans. Also great as very roomy when I have baby number 2! (not sure that's a great seller that it doubles as maternity top?!)

I am wearing it in black as I type and am a 14. I think it looks fine and doesn't make me look fat or pregnant (and I am paranoid about things like that!) I have a bit of a bust which I hate and it fits quite nicely round there.

I bought a 16 in it an its great. very comfy, washes well and doesn't make me look too big. Loads of comments on it.

Don't like the Boden wool tunics though, they are very odd

Well I ordered it and it arrived today. It's a good fit everywhere except it's too blithering long About three feet too long! Still it did fit round the bust and hips - really nice cut for me actually apart from being too long. Ho hum

Bellissima, I'd hate you to think I hang on your DH's every word, but wasn't that the henley tunic?!

I had the pintuck but sent it back - nice, but not worth the money. Some lovely alternatives in White Stuff.

Northernlurker - just get someone to take the hem up for you to whatever length you would like it to be. If it fits you well it is probably worth doing .

I thought about that but we are talking 6 inches and it's an awful lot of money to pay for something you are then going to butcher! I think I'll order something else though because at least now I know that their size will fit me - which is nice.

Agreed it is a lot of money if not perfect.Good luck with your shopping, hope you find something nice!
