Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
Its a while since I bought a swimsuit, but this tempted me in the sale.
What a great decision!
Bought the China Blue dot in size 8 - fits like a dream (I am usually an 8, but tend to size up in swimwear - didnt need to here). Read others comments about this being long in the body, but I didnt find this (I am 5'2" and short in the waist and it was fine on me)
Fab cut, flattering to a slim shape, curves around the bust, just the right support / padding without going over the top.
Wonderful!!! More please!!

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
I am sometimes between a 8 and an 10 but I went for the 8 as I did not want a baggy cossie! Such a nice fit, makes the most of my relatively small bust (32c)and the colour is nice - a slightly brighter blue than I though which I am really happy about. Super flattering, love the little bow at the front. Can't wait to wear on hols. Thank you Boden! Snip at sale price too.

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
I love this swimsuit - fits like a dream, very flattering for my shape, and would like to buy another in 2012. BUT the pads in the top are really annoying. I have to re-position them before every time I wear it. Have even become dislodged in the gym's hot-tub! Any chance of more secure pads next year? I can't be only the only person to have experienced this.

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
Very stylish but doesn't fit very well!
Fabric is very heavy and even turns worse when wet.
I have some problems with my neck and couldn't swim with the swinsuit.
I kept it but I am not very happy with that.

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
Love the design but the bust size is either a little small 12 or the tummy generous 14 so plumped! for the 12 as would rather be spilling out a little than look rounded.

Lovely, stylish vintage style costume. Good length as I am 5ft 8 inches. Also really comfortable. Absolute hit!

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
Loved this swimming costume in the summer and regretted not buying it - now off on an unexpected sunshine break and decided to treat myself!
I've had sizes 12 and 14 in swimwear before, so opted for the 14 in the navy blue, but had to downsize as it was enormous and I could envisage us parting company as I jumped into the pool; size 12 seems a perfect fit, tho' I've not tried it out in the water yet!
Lovely style (however not entirely sure about funny shaped removable cups which won't stay in place - might just remove them permanently); can't wait to pose around on my lounger reading a book and then cool off in a beautiful cliff-top pool - I shall feel like Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly rolled into one...
So, altogether a very successful buy, and to make it even better, I benfitted from the reduced sale price when my exchange size was processed - thank you Boden!

Lovely colour and design of swimsuit. Fantastic fit with plenty of support. The only negative is that when washed the cup inserts fold and move.

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
bought this in two colours, red and navy. The red looked more coral in the hand, however, loved the colour even more! The fit of the red was huge! must have been incorrectly sized. the navy was better although still on the generous side. Very flattering shape - had to take the removeable cups out as they didnt stay in place, but, it was much better with out anyway! also it was quite long in the body for my 5'2" height

Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:
I have bought Boden swimming costumes before and always found them very roomy. This time I ordered a size smaller ie a 14 as I'm actually a 16 and it fits perfectly. I do agree with other comments that it may be more comfortable for someone with a small bust but I've got a large one and just have to tie the neck up a little bit tighter to give better lift!
