Thought I'd share my experience trying a few Boden items at Nordstrom. According to their size chart, I'm a size 6. Of the dresses, The Rick Rack dress was my fave in terms of style. The fit through the body was almost perfect but it did this "poof" thing in the front and back of the skirt which wasn't very flattering. I had the same issue with the sleeved floral dress so it may just be my body.The sleeved floral dress is absolutely gorgeous although I couldn't fill the bust out in the 6. It was fine everywhere else. I tried the 8 in the shirt dress but it did nothing for me. The Jade dress is beautiful but the print and the style was a little too darling for me. I adore it but couldn't really imagine myself wearing it. The fabric is lovely and the cut of the skirt is very flattering. On a whim, I tried the blazer and to my surprise, it fit perfectly in an 8R.
For my body type, I think I'm better off with knit dresses. As much as I love wovens, I don't think I'd purchase unless I could try on in store first.
The sales associate says the brand runs a little on the smaller side and I'd agree. From what I could see, it's great quality.
