I’ve received several questions in the past regarding this thrifted Boden skirt. Since a couple of you just recently asked about it again, I figured I should just do a post proving any interested parties with the pertinent information.
Item: Floral and Venitian Print Wrap Skirt with Polka Dot Trim
Brand: Boden
Cost: $10 thrifted (New Boden skirts run from around $50-$100)
Product Description: Fully lined 100% cotton wrap skirt. Two button closure around waist (with approx. 10 inch overlap). Knee-length, A-line.
Review: A great skirt. I fell in love with its faux-Anthropologie look when I came across it at a thrift store in San Francisco in the summer of 2009. It washes well (and I line-dry it) and it’s lined with a second cotton layer. I believe the sizes run on the smaller side, since this is a 12R UK size, which is about a size or two larger than I would usually wear. The side tag reads: “WG164″ and below that: “832886/7″.
If you were someone who contacted me about tracking it down, I hope this information helps (particularly those numbers on the tag). If you don’t succeed in getting this particular skirt, you may be interested in checking out Boden’s existing collection, which includes some really beautiful items:
Update: Thanks to reader Brooke for pointing out that Boden has just switched to US sizes as of this year, so if you’re ordering off their US site, don’t order up. Ignore my statement about the sizing running on the small side, as this conversion from UK sizes no longer applies. Thanks, Brooke!
Wow! I had never heard of Boden before. Those prints are absolutely gorgeous, and lots of stuff in great natural products. And for those plus-sized women out there, they do go up to size 18. Thanks so much for the information!
Love the thrifted skirt! Thank you for all of the information and the pictures of the new line.
Regarding the sizing of Boden skirts – up until this year they had UK sizing, which would be about 2 or 3 sizes larger than your US size. This year though, they switched to US sizing, so if you order off their US site – dont size up!
I love Boden and have a few dresses, one skirt, and a sweater. The quality of the construction and materials is great!
ohh i have always loved that skirt on you!
my mom has some amazing skirts from boden, too–their patterns are just fabulous.
Absolutely stunning. I need more printed skirts in my arsenal…
Beautiful. I will have to make my own version. Cannot wait!
