You are So Right!!! It happens to me all the time....in the store I think “I can put up with it” but a few neck rashes later, scratchy items are out the door. Toban on "My first Boden order!

I have a Tilda v-neck in navy. Very impressed with the fit. Had to return the Suki velvet top because it fits very small. Considering reordering in a larger size for my holiday capsule.

I've only worn the blue once--but now it's turned cooler and I'll wear both. I like the more intense colors and the knit. They seem to be excellent quality.  Jenn on "My first Boden order!

Looks perfect for my needs. KikiG on "My first Boden order!

Glad this order worked for you and thanks for the reviews. I laughed about comorbidity between sparkle and scratch factor! Too true! Angie on "My first Boden order!

I have the Tilda crew in ivory.  Christina F. on "My first Boden order!

I'm wearing it today actually, and mean to post about it. I hadn't seen the first item on their site, but it looks very nice! Yay, another Boden convert! Angie on "My first Boden order! Not my last!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boden-order-not-my-last#post-1974381 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 17:55:23 +0000 Angie 1974381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ YAY, KikiG. Happy you had Boden success. Such lovely, lovely items. Two of these items are top picks, and good to know about the white tee. Just made it a top pick too.  Yup. The quality blows most things out the water - AND AT THE PRICE.  RobinF on "My first Boden order! Not my last!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boden-order-not-my-last#post-1974380 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 17:55:17 +0000 RobinF 1974380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice! I love the cut of the first one and the others will be nice essentials. Will the sleeve layer ok? KikiG on "My first Boden order! Not my last!" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-first-boden-order-not-my-last#post-1974370 Wed, 14 Nov 2018 17:10:44 +0000 KikiG 1974370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Tess Metallic Jersey Top:  Not so glittery I can't wear it to work (doesn't look like club wear); the sparkle is subtle.  The glitter aspect has a red tint to it (not silver or gold) but, again,  it is subtle and you can only see the color of the sparkle it in bright direct light if you are concentrating on it. The neck is faced with red ribbon that doesn't show when the garment is worn.  This is really going to work for me.  It fills in my "navy top" category as well as my "get slightly festive" category.  It isn't scratchy, which sometimes is a co-morbid condition with things that glitter or sparkle.    Tilda Crew Neck:  fine gage, fully fashioned, what I would consider a traditional cut.  Oh, what lovely quality! Short enough I can wear it with high waisted skinny jeans or a skirt.  The turn back cuffs are adorable.  So happy to have another black pullover, which is a wardrobe essential for me. Supersoft Voop Tee:  Extra happy that I finally have a white tee shirt, which has been my unicorn for YEARS!  The cut is slightly bat wing/dolman, but not as much extra fabric as a Pico top (which seems like a whole lot of extra fabric to me).    The fabric could have been more substantial, but my bra wasn't displayed, so I'm happy.  I love the neckline.  I will absolutely go back for a black one and probably a b&w stripe one.  I *may* size down, but I will make a final decision after I wash it. With respect to sizing, I obeyed their instructions and ordered mediums (UK12) per their size predictor.  By way of comparison, I'm mostly in a misses small, going to a medium in a junior cut (boobs) and sometimes sizing down to an extra small, like if its Vince Camuto.
