Angie do you know if Boden dresses in petite sizes have a shorter shoulder-to-waist length than the regular sizes, to fit a shorter waisted body? If I look at the body measurements for Boden sizing, it looks like I'd wear a size 12, and I almost always need a petite size in dresses. For dresses the petite sizes seem to only go up to 10P, and the "fit predictor" on their web site also recommends a 10P. The garment measurements do NOT show shoulder-to-waist measurements, which leads me to believe that Boden petite sizes may not have a shorter shoulder-to-waist measurement than their regular sizes.

I am going to try ordering a few dresses and am thinking of trying both a 10P and a 12. Does that sound like the right way for me to go given what you know about Boden sizing?

Thanks!
