I'm normally a size 10/12 top so ordered a 12 - but it was very snug, particularly under the arms. I returned it and got a 14 instead which is perfect. A lovely retro feel sparkly top which will be really easy to pack and pair with jeans and but the slightly muted colours mean that it's not too over the top. Love it - but as others have said, definitely go up a size ! Originally posted on www.boden.co.uk
