"I absolutely love this in the prune melange. It is true to size, fun with white long sleeve scoop neck and jeans. Mine also bobbled after 3-4 wearings (and no washing yet). I think I will accept because the garment is one of a kind lovely. Great colors! I feel so vibrant in it."

"My ratings might surprise as I absolutely love this top, so much so have both the charcoal and oatmeal. However, as I have found in all the everyday mixed fibre knitwear like others have said they do bobble quickly and it gets a bit frustrating to keep combing as you would a cashmere top. I love the style and fit is great and as for individuality boden does it again. However I'm thinking of sticking to say a merino which you don't seem to get the same trouble with but I know I'll probably be tempted again by a style in the same material, please don't tempt me Boden update the quality of the material instead as I'm willing to pay a bit more if I know it will last. This is the same review in terms of fabric for the henley tunic which again I've been tempted by and love so much I have three."

"this jumper looks super and is very soft. I bought the brown one and wear it with a white tee and jeans and have had lots of nice compliments.
My only gripe is that the jumper has started to bobble( even before it was first washed) so I am not sure whether to return it or accept that wool does bobble."

"I was really excited when I saw that there was a size 10 in the green as I had been wanting one but they had all sold out - very disappointed when it arrived as it was so shapeless and just did not flatter at all, it was huge on the hips, not like the long henley which is gorgeous. Sadly going back."

City: Finland
Age: 35 - 44

How often have you shopped with Boden in the last 12 months?: Twice

"The tunic just arrived and it is lovely and soft material. It is a bit shapeless and shorter than I thought (I am 1.70 and a top size 10; so maybe I am a bit tall for it?). I ordered the brownish colour and it is a bit 'mousy' - but worn with a funky long necklace it will look great. It will probably become one of the items in my wardrobe that I will wonder how I could ever live without!"

"This long vest is gorgeous, I'm tall and quite big busted, but the scooped out neckline is very flattering. I got the charcoal which I think will be more slimming and also more useful for casual work situations. If you've got good legs it would look fab over thick tights and platform shoes, or boots. I plan to wear with a simple white puffed sleeve tee underneath. Love it."

"Got mine in Grey sz 16 - fit is great and true to measurements, colors beautiful, it is warm enough, but...I think it is kind of dull? Ordinary? Anonymous?I will keep it but I am not thrilled as I am used to when I get those lovely packages from Boden."

"Well having bought the brown version I loved it so much I have subsequently now got all colourways of this tunic (which makes this one of my more manic Boden forrays)

It's a lovely soft knit but the brown one , which is the one that's had the most wear has pilled and bobbled a lot (worn it around 5 times) and it has also got slightly bigger. When they arrive they are very smooth but it doesn't stay like that for long.

The green one arrived and I don't know if it was a return that didn't get checked properly but the wool was already fuzzy near the hips on both sides. I'm debating returning it as I'm not terribly impressed but given that I know that it will go on to bobble anyway and there are none in stock I'm actually considering putting up with it.

They are comfy to wear (been wearing mine over jeans and a t-shirt top) and I love the length and simplicity. I've not seen anything comparable in terms of look anywhere else hence my mad purchasing. Each colour makes the top a little different - the charcoal one feels more formal where as the others feel more weekendy. I wasn't sure about the purple one first as the pinky edge put me off a bit but it is a nice rich colour. I love the duck egg blue edging of the green and brown ones and I'd love to see it as a colour option as a cardigan or even another version of this in.

On the whole lovely, useful and fun but the bobbling and stretching lets it down a bit."

"Got this is grey - looks fab over white top - feels lovely on and looks really great - particularly with skinny jeans. If you are wondering whether to try it - I recommend you do as I think you'll be pleasantly suprised - and it'll be all sold out soon (so I've just ordered the green one too!!)"

"I was a bit nervous about the colour - ordered in green as the other colours had sold out - but I love it and lots of people have complimented me on it! The fit is very good - true to size - and the fabric is very soft and cosy. I wish I could order another one - seems most of the things I want to order this season have sold out really early on!"

"This is a lovely item. I bought the cocoa colour because it tones in with most of my wardrobe colours. I've worn it with grey skinny jeans for a casual look and white kick flare jeans & a long necklace for a smarter look. Equally looked and felt great. Its a super fit, my normal size and would be cosy with a polo neck on chillier days."

"Bought in the charcoal which I do like, and the material was nice and soft.
Disappointed really after reading all the wonderful reviews. Description is right about being semi-fitted thisfitted me at the top but then had no shape to the lower part, gave me a large belly and hips! I'd have to walk round like the model with my hands across my belly!
Will be sending back."

Will wear with long sleeves t-shirts and blouses and trousers or leggings and boots. I got on the phone immediately and ordered it in the purple (sold out in the other colours...) thanks Boden for a great item..."

I've tried it with a scoop tee and my Boden "great white shirt" and I just don't seem to be able to come up with a combo that's not totally fabulous."
