Boden, Johnnie B - what size?

Has anyone ordered from this yet? I am wondering what sizes to go for. Does it come up small? I am size 8 and 5"3, and can't let go of my inner teenager

really really small. The skinny jeans - I ordered the 26 r and I could get them on, but they weren't comfortable. The 28s are brilliant - though a little loose, but that's ok. In gap I need a zero for their trousers.

the length is really good if you're 5'3.

I have now asked for the catalogue three times to no avail (I just prefer to see pics/colours in print rather than on-line). I'm also size 8 and 5'3 (although I have adult thighs - not sure on the skinny jeans!) and I just wonder whether they know what size 8's are up to . But I also have an eleven year old guys...c'mon..

Agree the skinny jeans are small. I can fit into the 26r but I am a small 8 in most shops and a 24 in makes like current/elliott.

I wonder if they aren't doing a paper catalogue for this range - maybe it's a kind of soft launch? I asked for one too and never received it

Ooh thanks, will go and change the sizes in my basket. Hurrah that I might buy a pair of jeans that I don't have to take up. I got the catalogue with my copy of mini boden.

Another vote on the skinny jeans here! I am also an 8 but am rather (ahem) athletic of leg So I have the 30L in the red which are more flattering on the leg for me but need a belt as waist is slightly loose. The 28L made my legs look like overstuffed sausages The red version are quite vibrant but they are gorgeous

I also have a long sleeve tee in a size Large. In retrospect, I think I would have been fine with a Medium but I would rather have a slightly roomy than slightly too tight top.
