    Comments about Boden Women Retro Swimsuit:

    Lovely swimsuit but too short in the body (by about 3 inches!). I'm 5'7".
    Really disappointing as it fit perfectly on the hips and bust.

        Bought the plain black for holidays and haven't washed it yet but I can tell this will last for ages. It is very flattering ladies and I was worried it would be too tight. No, I ordered a size below dress size and it fits like a dream-comfortable and well-cut. Doesn't dig in near the halter and has its own little bag for carrying. I feel a spotty red one coming on.......

                I love my new swimsuit, it's very comfortable and I find the sizing is good ; the front has a tendency to wrinkle when wet, (maybe due to the lining) but now I prefer this to a tight uncomfortable fit.

                    Great quality, good fit. Had lots of compliments already. Ordered in the pinky colour but wasn't bright enough to suit my pale colouring. Exchanged it for the blue and the green and I love these colours.

                    Stripping off when you are older is tricky. This covers up without looking as though you have anything to hide

                          It fits a little to low in the top front area, you have to wear the strings a bit tight to make it fit in place, can bother to send it back. The design and material are nice.

                              I bought this for a family holiday in the sun this Easter. It looks great and is well made, but is slightly short in the body and, as a result, drags my bust down slightly. A shame as the styling is good. This may not effect many women as I am almost 6ft tall and I guess the swimsuits are made to fit the average height. It is the first time I have bought a Boden one piece. I shall hesitate to do this again.

                                was so looking forward to this swimsuit as the colours and design are lovely but the fit is so weird and i am only 5"3 size 10/12 and so took the advice of others and sized up but the size 12 was nowhere near and mainly too short in the body. Sorry Boden but this one goes back.
