I think the viscose (rayone) holds it's color better than cotton. The top is beautiful and a great color. They always have some % off code with free shipping and free returns (for the states at least) so hold out for that if you can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422426 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:33:07 +0000 Astrid 422426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>christina, thanks for clearing that up! I'm unfamiliar with both UK and US sizes.</p> <p>Claire, it only says machine-washable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422422 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:27:46 +0000 Anonymous 422422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! Order me one too. I like rayon/viscose for the drape. What are the care instructions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422412 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 22:09:14 +0000 christina 422412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe that Boden sizes are now US sized not UK. They switched a few years back. If you wear a 12 in the US you wear a 12 in Boden. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422388 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:35:20 +0000 Astrid 422388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmh. Well, I defer to your wisdom Queen Mum! I know next to nothing about fabrics. I wouldn't want to pay the money only to search for a replacement in a few months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422382 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:28:19 +0000 Queen Mum 422382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was eyeing that top as well. Viscose is a type of rayon... and I haven't been a fan of rayon/spandex blends for stretchy things that I want to hold their shape. I prefer cotton/spandex blends. They seem more sturdy and hold their shape better, in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422378 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:23:10 +0000 kellygirl 422378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't comment on the fabric or fit but I love the style. It looks very flattering and would be a great layering piece. Those kind of tie/knot tops are one of my favorite styles : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lonsleeved-top-from-boden#post-422365 Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:02:07 +0000 Astrid 422365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw this gorgeous longsleeved top from Boden. It would be one of my neutral colored longsleeved tops from the list (see here <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-complete-my-list" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....te-my-list</a>). I love the color and I think the cut would be very flattering. What do you think about the fabric? It's 96% viscose and 4% spandex. Does anyone know if Boden is true to normal European sizing? If I look at the general Boden Sizes I need a UK 12, now when I look at the sizes for the shirt, a 12 is a 14. Huh?</p> <p>What do you think, yay or nay? </p>
