Sizing and care

Womens size chart

We like to have fun at Boden but when it comes to fit, we take things very seriously. To help you find clothes that don’t just fit but also flatter, we’ve put together an easy-to-use size guide below.
If you have any other questions about the sizes of our clothes, feel free to drop our Customer Service Department a line on 1-866-206-9508. We’re always here to help you.

How to measure

  1. BUST: Measure under your arms, across the fullest part of your bust. It's not as tricky as it sounds, honest.

  2. WAIST: Measure your natural waistline (find it by tipping to the side like a teapot). We promise we’re not just telling you to do this so you look silly.

  3. HIP: Measure around the fullest part of your bottom at the top of your leg. We know it’s a bum job.

  4. FRONT LENGTH: Measure from your shoulder point to the hem. Pretty self-explanatory.

  5. INSIDE LEG: Measure from the lowest part of the crotch to bottom of the hem.

    The long and short of it

    Unlike many brands, at Boden we know that ‘petite’ sizing (designed for customers 5ft 3in or under) isn’t just about trimming a bit off the hem. Instead, we’ve proportionally shortened the length
    throughout on these garments – not just at the knee or ankle – so that they fit and flatter all over. You’ll notice the difference when you try them on.

    In jumpsuits we also offer a ‘tall’ size for customers 5ft 10in or over. We’ve not just added extra fabric to the legs but increased the length proportionately
    throughout the style to ensure a noticeably improved, flattering fit.

    For our ‘long’ styles, we’ve added extra length at the bottom, so you can choose where you’d like the hemline to fall and whether you’d like to wear the garment with flats or (hooray) heels.

    Childrens size chart

    At Boden, we like to cater for everyone, big and very, very small, so we offer a baby range (newborn to 4 years), and a girls’ and boys’ range (3 to 14 years). Some styles are more suitable for younger children, while others work better on older children and our size range reflects this.

    To make sure our clothes are just right for you, we offer a single-age size (5 years, 6 years etc) on fit-critical styles and dual sizes (5-6 years etc) on clothes where there’s a little wiggle room.

    Children aren’t the easiest creatures to dress at the best of times, so we’ve included some neat, little innovations to make this task a little easier. For babies that just won’t sit still, we’ve added inside leg poppers and shoulder openings, lifesavers come nappy changing time. And, so you can keep up with older children (and their growth spurts), we’ve put adjustable waistbands and straps in our clothes to help them last that bit longer.


    Size charts

    These are our size charts: all you need is a tape measure to measure your child, below we provide the height, waist and hip dimensions as a guideline to finding the correct size for them. For babies, we use weight guidelines instead. See below for details.

    1. Height: Measure from the top of the head to the ground. And no cheating – take their shoes off.

    2. Waist: Measure the natural waistline (find it by tipping to the side like a teapot). We promise, we’re not just saying that to make you look silly.

    3. Chest: Put their arms in the air like they just don’t care… and then measure under them, around the fullest part of the chest.

    4. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the bottom. It’s a bum job but you’ve got to do it.
