I am usually a Boden Size 8 in skirts and trousers. However having read the reviews, I sized up. I found the waist a perfect size 8, but the hips too big - so true to size 10. Rather than return it (size 8 waist would be too tight), being a simple style I took it in down the back seam (a bit of a faff unpicking the top stitching), but it now fits perfectly and I'm delighted. This has proved to be a really useful addition to my wardrobe (I bought it in Navy). On the few warm days we've had, I've paired it with my silk floral cami and on others a shirt and cardigan, giving it a smarter look. I'm pleased with the weight of the cloth, making it suitable for summer or winter wear. Once the sizing is sorted, I would buy it again if it were produced it in a range of bright colours. Also, dear Boden, may I suggest that this shape skirt and weight of fabric would make an ideal cargo skirt. I'll watch this space! Originally posted on www.boden.co.uk
