Lovely cami top, 12 February 2009 By alicet

Fit:		4 out of 5
Appearance:		5 out of 5
Quality:		5 out of 5
Value:		5 out of 5

"i have 5 of these and they are gorgeous - incidentally a lot better fitting and better length than the ones in the current spring / summer catalogue which I had ordered first.

I did order a purple one too only it fitted much more snugly than the others - i can only think it was an 8 that had been mislabelled as the others were great."

"I don't usually care for camis, but I got this in violet to wear under my fun spot jersey cardigan. The fit and quality are super, I only wish the empire seam was a little lower, as it doesn't quite reach under my bust. A slightly higher neckline would also be great. Otherwise, much more comfortable and well fiting than other camis I've tried. I think I'll get a lot of use out of it."

"This cami looks great under sweaters/shirts. It has a really nice fit and feels good on. The material is a good thickness too so I would feel comfortable wearing this on its own. It is not very long though so if you wear lower waist jeans it probably would not provide full coverage."

"I'm a d cup and usually a size 10 but had to order size 12 as the 10 was too tight under my arms and made me look too busty however the 12 is a little baggy against my tummy and not as flattering as the smaller size. Conclusion ... Not a great top for busty slim figures. Lovely fabric and colour though ."

"I had another try with this, this time in the dark grey marl, as reviewers mentioned it was a slightly different fit. But once again, it kept riding up over my bust so was quite uncomfortable. No one else seems to complain of this so I must be a funny shape! What a shame - I love the look of it and adore the colours."

"I have ordered three of these camis (green, violet, and plum) and so far have worn only the plum. They fit nicely and give a little layer under tops that need a little something. I do wish the straps were adjustable and that this were a bit longer in the body (I am 5'8'), but that is the case for most tops with me. I did order up a size, as I frequently do with Boden tops, so that it wouldn't be too clingy, and this proved to be a good decision."

"I have already reviewed this cami in the plum colour (gorgeous), and have now received it in charcoal. Still like it , though the fit seems slightly different (a bit bigger and fabric seems slightly less stretchy), still a useful item. Don't understand the problem others have had with the under bust seam - even though I am a 36C the fit is pretty good.
Rather wish I had gone for a more exciting colour - maybe the purple - but I thought the grey would be more useful....."

"I usually buy a couple of camisoles from Boden each season and in my view this is the best one yet.

I'm a size 12-14 and ordered size 14 this autumn after reading several reviews and found this to be a snug, comfortable fit. Body is shorter that previous styles but this is fine by me as I'm only 5'2".

Looks lovely underneath blouses, cardigans and jackets - the velvet and ribbon trim can just about be seen and is very different from other camis on the high street (hate those lacy topped ones).

Will definately be buying some more of these whilst they are still in stock. Well done Boden on another great item."

I bought it to go under the purple / maroon V neck wool dress, as this is too low cut for me"

Pretty Lowcut top, 17 September 2008 By GirlFriday

"Just received the Plum top & although the colour is a shade different than expected, I'm very pleased with it. Very pretty detail on the trim, but the fabric does have a very smooth/silky feel for cotton. Quite clingy.
As in previous reviews, this does fit as a low cut top if you go against empire line seam, but that doesnt really bother me. I chose to order a size up than normal & glad I did. It is very fitting & empire line seam could be better, but as I measure 34E I find this is very common in tops. However, I'll quite happily order in a few more colours !"

"I wasn’t sure about ordering this top. I haven’t had good experiences with tops that have an under bust seam. In a previous season, Boden did a wonderful cami top that didn’t have that seam, and I’d love that style to come back. As I expected, I can’t wear this top with the seam under the bust or too must cleavage would show and the straps pull too much (they aren’t adjustable). I have kept the top as it’s great to wear under jumpers, but if it wasn’t for the seam, I’d order loads more colours and not have to keep the top for hiding under jumpers. Under bust seams just do not work with a C-cup chest.
In short, fabulous colour and quality but don’t like the under bust seam and adjustable straps would be good. I would recommend to small-chested friends."

"Got this in clover and it looks great with the prune v neck cardigan and also with the prune velvet jacket. The fabric has a bit of stretch in it and is quite a nice thick material. I would have to agree that the empire line on this top is perhaps a bit high and if you pull it down to below your bust the top is rather low cut!"

"This is the first item of clothing from Boden I've purchased that was just poorly designed. While I am normally a size 10-12, I expected a 10 to fit or even be too small. The size 10 it turns out gapped at the top, had no shape or waist, and hit well above the hip. Literally fit like a box. Too bad as it is a great price and the fabric is a wonderfully soft and high quality. I also like the detailing at the neckline. Oh well, just $20 i'll put toward something else from Boden!"

"I'm a size 12 and have tried this cami in quite a few colours: Black is a true black; Chocolate is a lightish, bitter, chocolate brown with not much warmth to it; Clover and Lawn are a little darker than they appear on my screen (Lawn is a lovely, warmish green); and Charcoal Marl, Marine (turns indigo in some lights) and Violet (not much pink to it in actual fact, so more of a true purple) are similar to the website photos.

The Charcoal Marl fabric is very different to the others - it has a slightly brushed feel to it and is softer than the others, which feel more smooth, like a swimsuit or control lingerie. The Marl drapes around the tummy area, whereas the other colours cling like swimwear, and offer a tiny bit of support in that area. The neckline is dictated by the empire line. I have a small bust and, once I had pulled down the empire line to where it should go, the neckline was very low - distance from centre front neckline to empire line is about 4.25" on all the colours I tried, except for Marine, which gives you an extra 0.25" of modesty. Some of the necklines gaped when I folded my arms in front of me and also when I did the 'bend forward' test. I think they will all most likely do this as they stretch with use.

I am going to choose two to keep - certainly the Charcoal Marl, as it skims my squidgy tummy and is a good, versatile colour (black doesn't suit me). I'd probably wear it with a simple cardigan like the Favourite V-neck Cardigan. I'd take advantage of the skin-tight fit of the other colours by using it under a sheer top where I'd need something to cover up with, but didn't want any extra bulk in the layers.

The empire line (which doesn't run around the back of the top, although the neckline trim does) does look cute, but it makes this top less versatile. I bought some of the Grosgrain Trim Camis from a few months ago and I can adjust the neckline for each outfit, as well as using them as underwear on colder days (I wish JB would give us some thermal vests!). I hope we see another camisole (with a higher neckline) in the Marl fabric next Autumn, as I really do like having the option of a drapey camisole. The lace trim gets a thumbs up, but be aware that it will create a slight bulge if you are wearing a slim fit sweater over it, for example."

"Bought two of these tops in a size 10 and have been sadly disappointed - like so many others - with the 'under' bust seam. I usually find Boden clothes a very roomy fit and have considered buying a size 8 before now (quite ridiculous as I'm really a 10-12) however this top would be exactly right for me apart from that seam! The length is good, the fit around my middle is great and not at all clingy, it fits under the arms and the neckline is just right - not too low... but a seam around your bustline is bad news :("
