Too clingy for curvy figures

I thought this would be a substantial sweatshirt knit or double knit but it was a very thin sweater knit material which showed every imperfection and was unflattering in every possible way. I love Boden clothing but this definitely did not work.

      The top half had a very baggy fit that was not flattering to me as I am already large on top. The photo appears more form-fitting. The photo also makes it look like a sweatshirt or jersey-type material, while really it is more of a light sweater. It wasn't horrible and did feel comfortable, so I considered keeping it for days when I want a more casual feeling. But the cost, for me, wasn't worth it.

        This is another HIT from Boden! The dress is made out with a thin woven knit and comes with a matching liner, which seems to help shaping up the body for this rather fitted knit dress. This is a classy and timeless design like you can see Audrey Hepburn in it, but definitely has a contemporary feel to it. I purchased the navy and it has salmon pink color hidden borders around the hem and the cuffs. It was a fun surprise! If you are looking for a retro look with a modern twist, this is it!

            A very well made dress, love the material. Not a great look for my hippy body type, so it will be going back.

              This dress has a more subtle fit than the picture shows . The top 2/3 is a bit wider, the bottom third is tighter, like a pencil skirt, and the overall effect is very flattering. And it's comfortable. Love it!

                This is a great dress, very flattering and comfortable. It should be a good work to evening transitional piece, great for layers. My only complaint was that the "slip" was a bit longer than the dress and the spaghetti straps on the slip kept falling off my shoulder. I should be able to make some adjustments for that though. Great dress overall.

                I was disappointed by this dress. The material is wonderful -- a very soft and comfortable wool. Unfortunately the fit was off -- while it was the right size for my hips, it was very baggy around the waist and just didn't look right.
