Comments about Boden Women Canterbury Tunic:

My problem with this tunic has been the same as other reviewers, ie. I found it too tight in the hip in my standard Boden size (8R). I did manage to squeeze it over my hips & thighs (and actually this became easier with every try, I guess the material stretched), but it was neither a comfortable nor flattering fit. I thought about returning but I really liked the colour (grape stencil) and material, so I had it altered instead by having 2 slits made in the sides. Now it fits perfectly in the bottom part. I also had a stitch put in the neckline, as I didn't find the top too generous (I'm around a 30f), only too revealing being too low-cut. Now it looks like on the model.

      As long as you have the figure to suit (I am glad Boden vary designs to fit/flatter various shapes!) The figure being not much in the way of hips, maybe straight up & down & have a bust of C/D cup plus probably, then you are on to a winner! I popped a stitch in to prevent gape on my crossover. Easy to do! Bargain in the sale, lovely details. Bought the Roma leggings for next winter for it :-)
      Bargain & love it. Stencil print is beautiful!

        I loved this tunic to start with but unfortunately the fabric has started to fray at the hem and there are lots of little white lines appearing, I have only worn it half a dozen times at the most so very disappointing
        It is now going back :o(

          This looks great with leggings or skinny jeans and is a lovely shape on. I had lots of compliments. I wore it with last seasons Boden brown biker jacket. I will be buying it in every colour!!

          The tunic looks so great on line. I am a slim 8-10, but bought 8 because it looks slightly A-line. It's not at all. Fits across the bust & waist , too tight around the bottom.

              Really disapointing. I ordered this in the sale in both a size 8 and 10 (usually am a size 10). The 8 top part of the tunic fit fine but the bottom was too tight. The 10 top was too large and the bottom still too tight. Although lovely print, the fabric wrinkled easily. Even with the sale price, this was a no go.

              The texture feels good, but the quality of the fabric is poor, lots of white stripes across, not sure where they are coming from. Unofrtunately I did not notice them at first, so can't return it now.
              Also, too tight on the chest and too deep on the cleavage, you need a top under and it becomes too hot.

                I ordered two of these tops in clearance and have been wearing them ever since the Boden fairy arrived... Great fit and they look trendy with leggings and boots. Ordered both acorn colours which are beautiful.

                  The sizing seems to be completely wrong. I am usually a 10R size. Recently a top in 12R was a perfect fit from boden. And in this case though I ordered a 10R it is far too loose. Got to go through the hassle of return process. No more online shopping.

                        I've always been a bit disappointed with Boden tunics and have sent them all back but not this one! I'm 5'6 but short-bodied with long legs. I ordered the 10 petite on a whim, thinking that it might work better with a short body and it does! It looks great with jeans and what a bargain in the sale! It's a close fit on the bust for me but I'm a 30FF. Hips perfect for me but mine aren't big.
