I'm really attracted to their wrap dresses but haven't tried any yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1607059 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:30:19 +0000 Greenjeans 1607059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I looovvvve Boden wrap dresses but have not had good luck with their bottoms or button-downs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1607036 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 16:50:02 +0000 columbine(erin) 1607036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Banofi, that's too bad. Helen, you might like the Rosalyn top, too. I'm really loving my new tops. Taffy, thanks for sharing your experience with the dresses. Thanks Angie for chiming in. I don't know this brand well, but am captured by their aesthetic, so it's been really helpful to hear experiences. I already ordered some pants, but if they don't work, returns have gone smoothly so I won't worry about that. So I gues what I'm learning here is that Boden does dresses and tops well, but maybe not pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1607003 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:46:46 +0000 Angie 1607003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, Boden does not do good trouser and jeans cuts for curvy bottoms.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606995 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:49:49 +0000 Taffy 1606995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, I buy the Boden dresses specifically because they are longer. At 6' it's hard to find dresses that make it to my knees. Most of the dresses have a longer length, and you can also click the description and look at garment measurements. (You'll need to know what works best for you)<br /> I've returned many things and never had a problem. Quality has always been great..even my seamstress says so! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606907 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 09:50:51 +0000 Helen11 1606907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you posted this, I was looking at their online catalogue yesterday, and wondering if I should try the Ravello tops. I'm more hourglass shape, so the pants might be worth a try, too. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606842 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 03:04:07 +0000 Banoffi 1606842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Jjsloane, I am straight and have never found a pair of Boden pants that work for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606838 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 03:00:58 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know, Alaskagirl, I think I fall into a pearish category. I should probably make another post with some pictures and get the forum's help on what shapes I am, post partum. Just looking at Boden's models and pictures led me to think that their clothes would work better for a straighter body type; interesting to hear that in your experience they work for curvy types. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606824 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 02:44:34 +0000 catgirl 1606824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can tell you their tops and dresses are not cut for ITs. I haven't tried their bottoms but my friends who wear Boden tend to be hourglass or pear shaped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606754 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:53:39 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, the code worked and another ravello top and a pair of pants are on their way to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606744 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:34:56 +0000 Jjsloane 1606744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some items ship from the states (they have a PA warehouse) and are here in a jiffy, others are a bit longer from UK. Their shipping notifications will let you know. Their customer service rivals Nordies for super fab so always contact them if in doubt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606743 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:34:22 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S.

Everything else has come within 8 days or so. Returns have been smooth, no complaints at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606740 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:29:17 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the code, Jjsloane, I think I'll give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606739 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:29:12 +0000 unfrumped 1606739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had fear of the unknown so not ordered from them. How is shipping to and fro? The have cute dresses but seem short and also maybe <u>too</u> cute for my decade! They feature some very pretty prints, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606733 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:19:46 +0000 Jjsloane 1606733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am straight and have never had luck with boden pants so maybe they are made for curvy. There is a code for 30% off and free returns&nbsp;</p> <p>2H7M so nothing ventured, nothing gained. Their fit profile is usually right on for me as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606732 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:16:29 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Linda, this is encouraging. I hope the new zip jeans work out as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606725 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:59:38 +0000 Author Linda 1606725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a curvy gal and I love Boden sweaters and tees, oh and pajama bottoms too. The one pair of pants I have from Boden fits me perfectly (chambray summer pants) and I just ordered a pair of zip jeans, though of course don't yet know how those will fit. But I took the chance based on the way the other pants and the pajama bottoms have fit me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606715 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:26:06 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Laura, and good point. I'll dig into the reviews. Do you have a favorite style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606712 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:24:03 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1606712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the ones I've tried have worked well for me, and I'm not a straight body type either. From the reviews on their website for different styles, it seems to depend on the particular style, but I think it's definitely worth trying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/boden-questions#post-1606710 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:19:56 +0000 columbine(erin) 1606710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ladies, I was wondering if anyone with a curvy lower half has tried Boden pants. I've recently discovered how well their tops work for me, but I'm not a straight body type at all, so I'm unsure if their pants/trousers/denim might work. My baby's waking up so this all for now. I've missed you all. </p>
