TOAST 2

[Countmeout]

New thread please delete if it’s a duplicate

I think it looks lovely but I would fret that I might feel it was too big after I kept it. I used to be a 16 a nd if I try on anything I’ve kept I generally feel it’s rather too big and I wouldn’t likely wear it out (and then stick it back in the cupboard , just in case )

@paintyhands I also think that looks fine (but another one who prefers loose to tight). I don't think those puffy sleeves look too big at all, thought I know what you mean about them generally not working when oversized. It really suits you!

I think it’s probably going back but I’m tempted to try shrinking it in the tumble drier. Has anyone ever tried to do this on purpose?

painty I would think that would be a brave manoeuvre.. like dying, I would only if I was prepared to risk the result. And the loss of the £..

Dyeing.... !! 😂.. I am certainly not prepared to risk death for clothes !!!! 🙄😂

Surely it wouldn’t shrink in a tumble dryer unless it were man made fibres. I’d not risk it but I am ver risk adverse. The only thing I ever tried to shrink was a pair of cords in a hot wash, wasn’t very effective.

I’ve decided to return it - I have the green checked version in a 12 and when compared this one is just too big - even with a jumper over with the collar and cuffs showing they are just too loose. I love the detail on it though - someone else will hopefully find it and be delighted!

There are a few Toast sale dregs on JL right now !!
Just ordered the blue linen stripe sweater

Thank you! I’ve also ordered it. I’ve hung my nose over that for ages!

Thanks for the tip-off, I just ordered the linen jumper in bone (there were 3 in stock in size S, then 2 and then 1) as it looked so lovely on applecatcher and I hope it will be a good match for my Jude trousers, which I tried on today and which have surprised me - in a very pleasant way - as they’re not too ridiculously large around the waist (in fact, they’re a very neat fit indeed) and are actually very flattering. I usually avoid Toast trousers as I struggle to get the right fit. Dead chuffed!

Morning, a few more things added to JL, going v quick tho! Added the almond print shirt to my bag which then sold as I was adding (another 🙄) JL cashmere jumper. Oh well - the jumper is needed more, plus £26!!

Yes Ms obsessive here awake at 5 checking for Alix ( none) .. JL had quite a bit back in .. but nothing more bought..

I have tan Steve Mono shoes and stripe tee arriving today though

It is an obsession! But the chance to acquire beautiful items at 70% off hard to resist . Plus, and I don’t know about you, but I really love gorgeous high quality clothes but at the same fine I hate feeling ‘fussy’ about what I’m wearing and as though it would be a disaster if something happened to it because it cost so much. Much easier to relax when you haven’t paid full price!

The JL cashmere is a fab bargain right now

It’s fantastic quality, really soft and warm. I’ve bought a couple of crew neck jumpers to wear for work and a grey ‘crossover/wrap’ style in pale grey which is far too big but I’m planning to wear around the house with PJ bottoms. Those three things cost £80!

I got the workwear jacket in a 12 today, meaning I can send the 14 back, and also the striped navy jumper in a small, meaning the medium can go back to Toast. Result!

Shall I start another thread?
