I have ordered a dress from the teenage bit for myself . Well i am petite and a size 6. Think i may have ordered wrong size as ordered small but should i have gone for xs does anyone know ? Its a lovely white dress.

I got my smallish 12 yr old a dress earlier in the year from JohnnieB - we got small and it's fine but xs would have been no good at all. She's approaching a six so I think you'll be fine.

Thanks northernlurker .Sounds like it will be fine as long as its not too young for me ! It looks pretty classic so should be ok.

Order arrived at 10am! I wonder if living 10 mins from Boden had something to do with this!

All items present and correct...the dresses look quite large though - my lack of norkage may become all too apparent when trying them on!

My gold satchel arrived at 10.30am (not near Boden factory!)
I am a little bit in love with it.

My order came this morning. Most of the stuff was hideous. Frumpy jackets and jumpers and 2 bags in garish colours. Have sent the lot back except for one nice pair of sandals . I'm giving up on Boden.

lizz, what is the lining on teh satchel like? i have ordered it in metallic bronze. and very excited to get it!

Report
Lizzzombie · 04/07/2010 08:29

Its royal purple (?) silky fabric.
In fact its a similar shade to the "preview message" & "post message" buttons under the message writing box here!

I hope you love it as much as I love my bag!

On the whole, I thought the Summer range was really disappointing so Im not surprised alot of the sale stuff is being sent back. Ive sent loads of things back all season. For me the only thing worth keeping were the strainght jeans which are always good in the sales, the plimsolls which I get every season and the linen kaftan I wore to death on holiday. I order afew childrens bits but, on the whole, I think next seasons stock looks much more up to date.

from previous experience just wait a couple of weeks and there will be loads of stock. I think they hold some back to fuel a buying frenzy cos it cant all be returns!

It's here! Will open when back from school run. And then parcel back up and take to the post office.

Still no despatch notification on mine, ordered on Fri morning...still in stock on Sat but all gone by end of Sun. Only men's stuff and baby bits though, so hopefully they are just overwhelmed and will get sent!

moragbellingham · 05/07/2010 12:49

Same here. It took ages to get my despatch email so don't worry.
It eventually came saying all items on their way (by that time they were out of stock on the website)

My sale stuff just came. Keeping the kids stuff but mine are going back. So if anyone was after the washed linen jacket and flirty silk top, you may be in luck but don't bother IMO

lizz, i love it !! satchel arrived today, and it is gorgeous. and i love it even more as it was sale price ! absolutely lovely, beautiful leather , gorgeous lining and I am thrilled.. can't wait to use it

merino tunic.. love it, though sizing not as generous as previous, though the colour is marvellous ( periwinkle)

glam tunic - DH thought it was vile, pensioner-esque. I am sending it back, worried it might not be retro enough, but just plain horrid !

Oumasrusks · 05/07/2010 15:57

Lulumaam - I also ordered the satchel in the bronze metallic and now I really can't wait for it after what you've said!

Report
Lulumaam · 05/07/2010 16:00

it is lovely ! and it comes in a lovely dustbag too. and there is a thingie inside it to clip your keys too so you don't lose them in the bottom of the bag. colour is great but not so overpowering you could not wear it with pretty much anything!

Where's mine?

Report
Oumasrusks · 05/07/2010 17:37

Mine's just been delivered! I love my satchel and it will go with everything.

I'm keeping every thing I bought except for the pebble spot sundress. I had high hopes for it and it's a funny fit on me and seems very small!
