I’ve only ever had problems with Boden fits, not a single thing has worked for me: that’s why I’m waiting for Angie’s assessment of the linen sweater.

I have a closetful of Boden, so clearly their dresses, jackets, and tops work for me. Their pants tend to be hit or miss because my waist is bigger in proportion to my hips (or the other way round). Their Richmond pants do work for me and I have three pairs. I am busty and find their tops fit me much better than other brands, and aren't as stuffy as Talbots (no shade to T, i own their stuff too).

What has always been top notch is their fabrics and construction. I have fifteen year old items that still look great, and I have bought used items that are lovely. That is why i still peruse their catalog with great attention.

A few purchases below. Ha!

Big fan here. Yes, many of their colors and patterns are over the top for me, so I tend to order solid colors (esp. navy) or simpler patterns (colorblock cardigan, for example). But many of their more basic items (plain cardigans, blazers, tees) are just right for my work wardrobe - which I like to think is casual but a little up from LL Bean which used to be my main go-to. The best thing about Boden, as others have said, is that they provide garment measurements, which are very helpful. Their tops and jackets fit me really well and I've had few problems if I take the garment measurements seriously. But very little luck with pants and skirts. Dresses are one of their main things, but I almost never wear dresses, and have stuck to ordering ones that only need to fit in the bodice.

Roberta those are beautiful colors!
