It's not too pricey - about 12 pounds.</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Redrose</b> - I haven't found any Canadian equivalents either, although I think I should wait for the end of season sale to buy anything. Their sale prices are quite good!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>CityGirl</b> - I am a US4-6 and I usually get a UK10-12 from them. The UK8 is definitely too small.</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Linda -&nbsp;</b>I am carting my Boden catalogue around too! There's many pages earmarked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014/page/2#post-1320020 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:45:44 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1320020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I&nbsp;know!&nbsp; I was just going through the Boden catalog on the bus the other day, and I picked out a bunch&nbsp;of things too.&nbsp; That plaid dress was one of them.&nbsp; Trying to talk myself out of it after my July splurges, but it's hard.&nbsp; I hope you get&nbsp;some of these picks - they look perfect for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014/page/2#post-1320003 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 16:28:08 +0000 citygirldc 1320003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just purchased this a size 6 for fear the&nbsp;UK sizes were small and unfortunately it was a bit too big so&nbsp;I'll have to return this to get a smaller size. &nbsp;I do love their Fall stuff though.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1319835 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 13:22:59 +0000 redrose 1319835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love Boden too, absolutely&nbsp;drooling over this catalog. Trying to decide what I can get when the sales come! </p> <p>As a fellow Canadian I've searched high and low to find something available closer to home that is like their style, but have not been able to.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1319802 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 12:44:27 +0000 Neelie 1319802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn*, if you want to shop from the US site you can download hola to your pc and it will think you are in the US...it changes your proxy. &nbsp;Works well for Netflix too. &nbsp;It may be cheaper to do that and then have someone in the US ship it to you instead of ordering from the UK....</p> <p>Love the emerald green dress, you would rock that!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1319764 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 11:52:43 +0000 Jjsloane 1319764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn I'm with you - I love lots of it too and have been buying it for many years and the pieces I have bought are generally still in my closet. I definitely see your style in their line. I don't know why Nordies only carries Mini Boden and not Women's or men's.&nbsp;</p> <p>They do&nbsp;have a&nbsp;a warehouse in Pittston PA&nbsp;(US) and they have a massive sale every year. Here's a few sample sales that happened this year, maybe there will be more? Might be cheaper than flying to UK<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.journeytostyle.com/boden-sample-sales.html">http://www.journeytostyle.com/.....sales.html</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/boden-pittston">http://www.yelp.com/biz/boden-pittston</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1311734 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 02:45:36 +0000 MsLuna 1311734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are sooo lovely lyn!!! I like that multicoloured dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1311654 Wed, 23 Jul 2014 01:51:09 +0000 lyn* 1311654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Beth</b> - I suppose their snappy chart reflects their origins as a mail order company! My catalogue still hasn't arrived!!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Thistle</b> - They have a website in the USA but it won't let me order from it because I am a canuck. Oh well! There's better sales on the US site too, and free shipping and handling. You americans are so lucky ;)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Gig</b><b>i</b> - I'm sure I know a few people ;)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Marin</b> - Have you checked out their tall line? Sometimes I need the tall sizes and I'm only 5'7", so you might be right in terms of their lengths ... They don't have international shipping deals :(</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Laurie</b> - They sure do! And free shipping and returns for you guys :)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Laura</b> - I hope that I can find some better quality stuff on their site. I ordered a Pointe dress last summer and I'm not thrilled with it. It feels like a huge oversized sweat shirt ... but at least it's comfy!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Alexandra</b> - When I was flying to HK, all the customs people joked with me about an empty suitcase until they scanned it! Empty!</p> <p><b>@ Julieta</b> - Ironically, maxis are usually too long for me! HAHAHAHA....</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Citygirldc</b> - Can't wait to see you in it :)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Shannon</b> - Boden is to me what EF is to you ;)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Beth Ann</b> - I agree with&nbsp;<b>Beth</b> in that the Boden sizes are less straight up and down. J. Crew doesn't fit me and my boobies, but it fits so beautifully on my friend who doesn't have much boobies. It makes me a wee bit jealous.</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Jackie</b> - The DHL man has my cellphone number... &gt;_&lt;</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Claire</b> - All the Boden things have slightly different sizes, so it's okay that you didn't look! I love their measurement chart for specifically every garment so you make sure for sure it fits!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Alasse</b> - The hip/waist thing is important for me to know; I have about 8" of separation between hips and waist, so that's often a tailoring point for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1311006 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 16:36:31 +0000 Alassë 1311006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Drat you, Lyn*. Now I had to check out their fall offerings and order a top! I do like the skirt, dress, &amp; belt&nbsp;I have from them - very good quality, though not made for a big waist-hip difference (had to tailor the waists slightly when I fit my hips). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310992 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 16:21:11 +0000 Anonymous 1310992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dresses! I tried on a Boden dress in a consignment store this Spring. The color wasn't right for me, but the fit was perfect (a rare find in dresses). Like an idiot, I forgot what size it was. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310979 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 16:02:20 +0000 Beth 1310979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, IME, Boden's fit is much less straight than J. Crew, and fits me well where J. Crew doesn't. It might be worth a try, especially when they run one of their free shipping/free returns deals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310836 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 14:09:08 +0000 jackiec 1310836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Book your ticket, Lyn, it's all your style!!! Love the dresses - hope you can snap up some deals or sort-of-deals. We order from the UK a lot for our boys - the DHL guy knows me by name (and credit card - I always hand it over for some hefty duties). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310831 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 14:04:24 +0000 Beth Ann 1310831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always enjoy looking at their line.&nbsp; I appreciate the vigor of their colors and prints -- too bold to be twee -- and the ladylike fits.&nbsp; It's right up your alley, Lyn!&nbsp; I've not ordered anything, because I'm pretty sure the fits are rather J. Crew-like, and won't work for me.</p> <p>Others are right -- Boden has an US online store.&nbsp; Perhaps shipping to a US friend and making a weekend out of it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310830 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 14:02:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1310830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous picks Lyn! </p> <p>I think you've sorted out really well what your style likes are and when you find a designer/brand that has those items and fits you well, it's pretty hard to get that same level of satisfaction anywhere else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310819 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:52:35 +0000 citygirldc 1310819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i love the little red 60s top in the catalog. I think I may just go and purchase that now. I love your choices too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310743 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 12:17:00 +0000 julieta 1310743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel in love with Boden about two years ago. Finally I can get longer dresses without it being a maxi. I love their sales. The quality is usually great too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310655 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 05:48:47 +0000 Alexandra 1310655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, yes to flying over with an empty suitcase. Those clothes are beautiful and right up your alley. I also like the pink sweater Angie showed, especially its neckline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310632 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 04:43:52 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1310632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second to last time I was in London I went to one of the Boden stores too - didn't buy a ton but I did get a sweater I kept for years and years. I think they've got such unique prints, which work so well for you, lyn. I'm not as much of a statement print lover these days, but I do love how they have long lengths in so much of their stuff, and have had for years, before that was so common. And the precise actual measurements for each size of each garment are just fabulous.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310631 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 04:42:44 +0000 Laurie 1310631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boden does have a US site - at least online.&nbsp; I've ordered from them several times.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310629 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 04:41:40 +0000 Anonymous 1310629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love boden but they think I am too tall. I do buy kids clothes from them and they send free shipping/returns codes periodically. I am not sure if they do the same for Canada. Have fun shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310609 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 04:11:20 +0000 Gigi 1310609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, you need to hire someone who knows how to smuggle stuff across the border! ;)</p> <p>I can completely see you in that polka-dot jumper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310563 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 03:23:30 +0000 Thistle 1310563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonder if a flight over would be cheaper than the duties. :)</p> <p>For some reason, I thought Boden was in the USA too. Probably a cheaper flight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310456 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 01:18:43 +0000 Beth 1310456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I just received their autumn email today and&nbsp;I loved what I saw! Their pieces are made so well and their sizing chart is dead-on in a way few are.</p> <p>Let's charter a flight over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310435 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:52:43 +0000 lyn* 1310435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@&nbsp;<b>Anna &amp; Viva</b> - I love the plaid Amy dress even in the previews, and I didn't get it because there weren't specific measurements up yet (I guess the dresses weren't made yet?) but now I can! WHEEE!!!! I love it! It's so pretty and would look so nice with my green cardigan!!!!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>E</b> - Thank you for your kind offer. They don't have a Canadian site, so I must order from the UK one. They just bill me in pounds sterling, so I have to be careful :)</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Carter</b> - I am so jealous you got to go to The Store. *GASP* ... *Hyperventillate* ... I'm sorry to hear that it doesn't love you though. :(</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Ummilla</b> - The bust size is wonderful for me; I haven't run into too many shoulder problems, and usually I buy at least 1" extra in the boobage area, because I find it variable how they measure it sometimes. Thank you for letting me know your experiences It helps me find a good fit!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>K</b> - I will have to try them all! *chuckle*</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Angie</b> - I really love the pink jumper; that neck opening is so flattering, I'd imagine, with short hair!</p> <p>@&nbsp;<b>Alana</b> - It's okay. I know CPR.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310409 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:28:10 +0000 Alana in Canada 1310409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh pitter pat, be still my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310401 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:19:37 +0000 Angie 1310401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks, Lynn. I had a little peek myself:&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310397 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:12:22 +0000 Kristin L 1310397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're all so pretty! I like the plaid one and the last, striped dress. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310389 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:07:05 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1310389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Boden style suits you very well, Lyn. And apologies id I have nagged you on this subject before, but I find the shoulders of their garments to run rather small and their busts to run rather large.</p> <p>I really like that plum ravello dress, also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310387 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:05:31 +0000 carter 1310387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny! That's basically what I did last month (at least with a partially empty suitcase)! It took 2 trains and a walk through a rather seedy neighborhood to get there, but we made it! My husband thought I had lost my mind. All that, and I only bought one item! My husband bought 2. The cut of their clothing just isn't right for me, but I love it all. Wish it loved me back the way it does you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-fall-preview-2014#post-1310386 Tue, 22 Jul 2014 00:00:01 +0000 E 1310386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I often covet clothes from British lines &amp; can't seem to find any North American equivalent (like Toast: what is the US version of Toast?!), which makes me grumpy. So I'll be on the YLF charter flight with you! ;)</p> <p>I actually just got a pair of Boden trousers from Ebay that fit me perfectly&nbsp;and make me want more of their clothes, although their general style isn't perfectly aligned with mine.&nbsp;All of the choices you show are lovely &amp;&nbsp;definitely seem Lyn-like!&nbsp;Do they not have a Canadian equivalent (like their US site)? If it helps, I'm happy to play courier. </p>
