      Comments about Boden Women Palermo Silk Top:

      I would recommend this shirt to a friend but only for the sale price. It is worth [$] I paid, I would never pay [$] for it. It is a nice design and fits perfectly my size 12, so it is hard to believe reviewer who wrote that her daughter who is size 10 wears it in size 18. I have it in grey for a conference I am attending and it looks good with Boden grey & black skirt I bought earlier.

      This is a beautiful shirt.I am a good size eighteen, and had bought this for Christmas. Given that Boden tends to be generous, I wasn't worried.To my horror on Christmas eve it didn't fit anywhere, could hardly get it over my bulky arms and was in despair that I had put on stones over the festives.However my lovely size ten, 17 year old daughter tried it on and loved it.Perfect fit.She just wouldn't tell her pals it was in fact an eighteen...

      Beautiful colour (raspberry) and fit; however, the collar was poorly stitched on one side and wouldn't lie flat, and the stitching on one sleeve was not finished off. The thread used did not match the colour of the blouse - OK on something cheaper, but I expected better of this.

      Comments about Boden Women Palermo Silk Top:

      Well, I'd love to wear this blouse, but I'm thinking I'll have to return it - perhaps for the next size up. It's pretty tight across the chest and also hips, as others have pointed out. It's a lovely design and fabric, and very well made. But I can tell that if I keep it I'll not end up wearing it as it feels just that bit too snug. But then I hope one size up wouldn't be too floppy. Decisions, decisions!

        This top is absolutely beautiful in an understated way - no fussy bits anywhere! It is also very comfortable to wear.
        My only point is that it is a little too long for me but I wear it tucked in and then it's perfect.
        More like this please!

          This top is beautiful, but just not on me. Really warm, silvery grey. I'm a bit gutted that it didn't fit me across the chest (I'm very busty, but Boden are normally great.) For the right person, this top would be really versatile. If it fitted me I know that I would have got really good usuage out of it:(

          This ticks the boxes on every sartorial level. Fabulous material, simple chic design without being frumpy and perfect for those of us with a larger embonpoint! I consider myself quite classic in my tastes, but like clothes that can be adapted and have my own unique stamp. This is perfect with dark jeans, clunky statement jwellery and plimsols/ballet pumps. I am grovelling...more like this...please!

                This shirt is a beautiful colour (pink) and the 8 (I'm normally an 8) fitted everywhere except at the bottom where it was too tight and so didn't sit properly. Not suitable for my pear shape.
