Boden Sale Hits & Misses thread.....

[kevinsmama]

I bought the chic tunic in navy and LOVE it. It hides my "mummy tummy" (as the Brits say...) very well and is a very flattering piece! I'm contemplating buying it in other colors!

The only problem is that the moths seem to love this fabric; already found a tiny hole only a couple days after opening the package!! I've found that the moths seem to LOVE many of my Boden pieces--they've already eaten away 2 of my merino tunics and a rayon tunic from last year. I of course keep moth balls in my drawers/closet but the moths seem to sneak up on them when they're in the laundry basket or being line-dried, LOL. I think they like the Boden fabric b/c many of their pieces are on the thinner side compared to other brands...

I also bought the silk leaf dress (also in navy) and that went back right away. It was so unflattering on my pear figure; made me look very big everywhere! I also found the skirt length too short (I'm 5'7). Even with the heavily discounted sale price, it just wasn't worth keeping... Too bad b/c I really like the look of the dress!

I am also waiting for 3 other dresses to arrive; I'm hoping at least one of them will be a keeper!

I have placed a few more orders from Boden over the last week than I thought I would.

Received and am sending back the Spotty Jersey Top (very wide scoop neck), the Relaxed Silk Dress (gorgeous but too unstructured or blousy for me to keep), Drapey Jersey Dress (my girlfriend described it as a nightgown on me, LOL).

Received and keeping the Everyday Jersey Dress. Not DH's favorite, but very cute and I feel pulled together with no effort.

Still waiting to receive the Sassy Silk Dress, Siena Tee, Favourite Shirt and Terrazzo Tunic. I am glad some of it listed above is getting sent back to offset what is still on its way.

How are you all able to tell when it will be delivered and whether it came from England or PA?

Check your order history. Click on order detail and you'll see the warehouse from which it shipped.


I ordered a black jersey wrap dress. It has be a while since I wore something so fitted. At first I wasn't so sure but I decided it does look good.

I'm waiting on a spring shift. I hope it fits. Planning to wear it to a family party next month.

I'm still waiting on most of my order. Everything I've received so far is the larger size I ordered and it's all too big. I'm glad I ended up ordering smaller too. The ruffle neck tee seemed to be okay other than too big all around. I'm hopeful that the smaller size will work. The only other item I got was the textured jersey tee. It was terrible. Not only was it too big but it bunched/ puckered across the bust like there was far too much fabric there. I'm not small chested (34DD) so it seemed strange how particularly loose across the bust it was.

I'm anxiously awaiting the rest of my orders. I picked up an everyday jersey dress and I'm glad to hear so many people are happy with it. That's the item I'm most looking forward to (please let it fit!)

I also didn't like the textured jersey T, so both are going back.

I did love the elegant vest in Pewter! I wasn't sure about it, but it's perfect for under a cardi. Really silky texture. I'm ordering 2 more.

I got both of these tunics and I don't know what to do. I kind of like them and then I don't know,

This tunic I could wear as a dress. i really wanted to wear it with skinny jeans or leggings and a cardi for fall. The top is a little loose but the bottom is fitted. I am pear shaped.

This tunic is cute but hangs a little funny. It's a little sheer. I don't know if I could wear it as a dress.

I have to decide before I can't send them back anymore.

Well I am sending back the following things:
Riveria dress, I loved the fit, but DH just didn't like the floral print. I have decided that if the brown/white polka dot one comes back in stock in my size I'll try it, but until then I am fine with sending it back; and at least for the future I know the Riveria dress will fit. Not holding my breath on the other colors coming back in stock.

Cosmopolitan dress, I need the next size smaller in navy (not sold on the red, or the purple/grey) to see how it fits, but it's out of stock in my size so I'll just get a refund and reorder if it comes back in stock. Not holding my breath ion this one either.

Purple brush stroke wrap dress, the colors were just not my colors.

Still waiting on:
black jersey dress
black/white jersey wrap dress
lime green pleated trim top

I just don't get the whole Boden tunic craze!

I like both of those tunics. I have never ordered any of the tunics only because I can't see myself wearing leggings with anything these days. Can you try the second one on with tights? I like that one too and if didn't make me look pregnant I would totally wear it if it were a dress.

I also ordered these same 2 tunics. I was planning to wear them as dresses and not over leggings or skinny jeans. I do like them, but don't love them, so I'm not sure if I should keep either. You can still return after 7 days for merchandise credit, so I may just sit on them for a while.

I also love the elegant vest. For me, it's fitted at the top and slightly looser around my tummy area, which is great!
