The dress is fantastic, it looks better on you than in the catalog.</p> <p>I'm torn about the top. The one you got looks great on you, but the one you ordered is such a fun print. Hmmm.</p> <p>By the way, if you talk to Boden customer service they will probably help you out about the return deadline. I just went through the same thing - I was having an order delivered to New York, but it didn't arrive before I left, so I had to have the package forwarded. Anyway, to summarize a long story I needed extra time to get the package forwarded and they were OK with me still doing a return.</p> <p>The black dress looks PERFECT on you now. WONDERFUL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117069 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:03:01 +0000 rute 117069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam,<br /> The LBD new length is great!<br /> Love the dress, tit has a nice boho vibe, the top is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117053 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:20:03 +0000 RoseandJoan 117053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, I love everything but I especially like the green blouse, the colour looks fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117024 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:40:46 +0000 Carole 117024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam-love your LBD and it's new length, looks so good on you. Love the dress and the top too! Wow, such luck! Can you wait til you get the one they are sending to see which you like best then return one, post pictures when you get it, we will help you out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117020 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:25:29 +0000 yublocka 117020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea Maya! I am emailing them as we speak....err.....or type </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117019 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:20:56 +0000 Maya 117019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, we posted at the same time Tam.</p> <p>I would call Boden and let them know what happened. It was their mistake so I think they will be lenient with the return policy. If not, that's just bad customer service. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117018 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:18:49 +0000 yublocka 117018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow I am so surprised the Boden dress is getting positive feedback. Ok will keep for sure!! Suprisingly I like the Brulees with it too!! Yay!!! The material is too heavy for a hot day, but for cooler days it will work well. And for Autumn/Winter it will work with boots and tights - yay!</p> <p>As for the LBD I am so happy with its new length. I think its now a lot more versatile since I won't have to worry about it riding up so much, esp. when sitting down!! And shock of shocks I like the Brulees with it too!! Not too pretty at all!!</p> <p>As for the shirt...now I'm in a pickle. The new shirt (the one I actually ordered, which is also green) is on its ways already (I contacted Boden yesterday when I first received the order). The one I have now is significantly more expensive - 39 pound as opposed to 18 pound - and I don't know that I should keep both. I think I have to return this one in 7 days though...which would be before the other one arrives. What should I do!</p> <p>Thanks ladies!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117017 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 04:18:28 +0000 Maya 117017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Tam! What success! The first dress is lovely on you. Perfect for summer. I respectfully disagree with the naysaying flatmate :)</p> <p>The blouse looks like a happy mistake to me. It's a beautiful color on you and very flattering. I would keep! Although the yellow/purple is very pretty. Can you get both? :)</p> <p>And the lengthened dress is AMAZING. My favorite of the whole lot! It is perfect now!</p> <p>I think your Brulees look great with the first dress. I hope you get used to how good they look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-117010 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:59:52 +0000 marianne 117010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, that green is fantastic on you! I was actually looking at that shirt when I was ordering my skirt, but thought it would be too transparent. Please keep! Although I could see the other shirt on you, too - did you get the yellow/purple?<br /> The dress looks great with brulees! And I love the LBD on you - glad you were able to get it lengthened! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-116990 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:15:38 +0000 Mellllls 116990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is definately different in real life than on the website but i dont think that's a bad thing. i do prefer the shirt you ordered to the one boden shipped...but who knows how it would look on you. the dress is great. more versatile at the length you have now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-116987 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 03:08:42 +0000 Kari 116987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tam, I love all three on you! I love the dress on you WAY more than I did in the catalogue, and like Angie mentioned, it's perfect with your Brulees.<br /> I missed who did the alterations on your LBD, but the extra length transforms it perfectly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-116929 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:51:48 +0000 elpgal 116929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in that black dress. Love it! I like the top as well, not so sold on the printed dress (because of the neckline, I think) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-116926 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:27:04 +0000 Angie 116926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did it!!! You added "Tam sass" to the Brulees. Now we're talking. </p> <p>1. KILLER outfit. 10. </p> <p>2. Love the blouse! Keep. </p> <p>3. KILLER lengtherned black dress. </p> <p>You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-116918 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 22:42:21 +0000 Louise 116918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1) love, floaty dress looks great with the brulees<br /> 2) I like the shirt you recieved better, though i think it's a bit smarter than the one you ordered<br /> 3) the length of LBD is perfect- fantastic on you x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-order-advice-new-lbd-pics#post-116915 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 22:27:33 +0000 yublocka 116915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi kind folks,</p> <p>Need your keen shopping eyes for advice on my Boden order please....my flatmates are tied on their opinions on these.</p> <p>I took these first thing this morning after waking up as I need to dash (featuring the Brulees, just to make me wear them!). Please excuse the dodgy morning hair and half asleep face!. </p> <p>1) <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Sale/Womens-Dresses/Above-Knee-Dresses/WH159/Womens-Floaty-Hotchpotch-Dress.html">Floaty Hotchpotch dress</a></p> <p>I ooogled this all season and was so excited to snap it up during the sale in my fave colour. Now that I see it in person I think the colours look a bit more muted than the website. And I don't know that it flatters me? Argh! 1 flatmate vote yes, 1 no.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4270172852/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4270172852/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4269429071/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4269429071/</a> (closeup of print)</p> <p>2) Shirt</p> <p>They delivered the wrong shirt! I ordered <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Sale/Womens-Tops-T-shirts/Short-Sleeved-Tops/WA240/Womens-Silk-Cotton-Scoop-Neck.html">this one</a>, and got <a href="http://www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Sale/Womens-Tops-T-shirts/Short-Sleeved-Tops/WA239/Womens-Satin-Trim-Top.html">this one</a> (in green) instead. Spanner - my flatmates like it! Should I keep? Boden are currently sending me the top I ordered....should I wait until they arrive to compare before deciding?? I think I only have 7 days to return sale items though....argh!!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4269429427/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4269429427/</a></p> <p>And then finally I picked up my shortened LBD yesterday. I love the new length!! She did an amazing job!!!</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4269428253/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4269428253/</a> </p> <p>Here's the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/yublocka/4193520751/in/set-72157614888607608/">shorter version</a> to compare to. Much better huh!</p> <p>Ok must dash sorry. Really appreciate advice....only want to keep Boden items if they are a 10 and I just don't know what to do about the top situation!!</p> <p>tam </p>
