Comments about Boden Women Printed Shorts:

I loved these shorts and took them on holiday last week. Really comfy and not too short but I only wore them about 4 times and the fabric faded and balled up between the legs. I was very disapointed because they looked great.

      Comments about Boden Women Printed Shorts:

      The previous reviews were really helpful in my decision making, especially about the sizing down - when the shorts arrived and fitted like a glove. I'm a bonnie 14-16 so I was not familar with the 14 L or R sizing so I took a punt and the 14R were perfect. Just looking forward to some good kiwi sunshine now so I can wear them.

        I had my eyes on this for ages and I was so glad when I finally got mine!
        I got it in plum and I absolutely adore it. It is not too short, and it fits beautifully, I believe the sizing is just right.
        Thank you Boden for such a lovely summer item in my wardrobe! Looking forward to more items like this ;)

          Just the right size. I am on the large size of 14 and the 14 fits perfectly and looks great, quite slimming. Please can we have some more like this in plain colours (without spots)!

            A really nice pair of shorts. I love the length as perfect for the beach but not too short. Bought a 12 which would normally be quite snug on me and fitted well with a little extra room.

                Comments about Boden Women Printed Shorts:

                I ordered these in my usual 8R before reading the reviews - then immediately concluded they'd probably be too big and would have to be returned.

                However, I was pleasantly surprised, if not a bit confused when they arrived and found they were great! I think they are true to size (I'm a standard size 8) and pretty much just as they appear in the photo! They're not tight, but don't have excess material either.

                I love the spots and the delphinium colour and will definitely be keeping them!

                    I'm a 14-16 so ordered a 14 - which are enormous! They make me look huge and sit on my hips, not waist, and as a consequence are rather long.
                    The spots are a cream colour too rather than white.

                      Lovely soft colours. As everyone else has said, you must size down. I thought they would be shorter.

                        These are truly lovely shorts; but one or two things are wrong with them. For one - you definitely need to size down. I'm currently wearing my size 8s and I think my usual size 10 would have been huge. The only other thing is that in the description they're described as 'our shortest shorts'. They're not that short! I have much shorter shorts and I'm hardly much of an exhibitionist. However, I am only 19 and I suspect a slightly older lady would prefer their shorts longer than I do. They are a nice length, by the way, just don't be misled.
