Just popped on to say I too got fed up with eBay. I still buy but have had a positive experience so far selling on Vinted. Mostly the buyer purchases the postage and you just print the label. Also no fees, the buyer pays a small fee. Been okay so far for me…..

Suddenly got cold feet as I realised would not be anonymous - not that I post anything super private on here - but still

Thanks to those who recommended the Falke knee high socks the other day. I ordered a pair from Amazon which arrived today and I am planning on trying out tomorrow.

I'm wearing mind today. Navy merino knee highs. I LOVE them. So comfy. I'm a complete convert from shorter socks!

Yes, I am not a convert too @NoCureForLove. They were great under my black chalkboard dress today. I had a short jacket on, and my thighs were chilly, but if I can find a coat that works well over dresses, I think I will be sorted. Thanks for the recommendation all.

I've never joined Facebook not sure why, I'm on Instagram and Snapchat but tempted to join just for the TOAST group........

I’m liking the look of this new dress, think it was added to the site today. Reeeaalllyyy don’t need another dress though www.toa.st/products/luna-print-dress-carbon-black

@Saurus72 - that's very understated and pretty!

@faustina it really is! With a pair of black ankle boots that dress could take you anywhere. And weirdly I don’t have many black dresses. Don’t neeeeed one either.

That’s a lovely dress @Saurus72….. I like that. Not sure on the sleeves though… chilly arms!

I did Mizu but I cant seem to get it to work for me.. because I am really wary of facebook I used another name as dont want people to find me , but I think I may have put so many privacy settings on it that I am only talking to myself!! .. I may give it up and just post here

Saurus I read that as Tuna print!
Was expecting something fishy!
Its nice same shape as the olive one.. but yes short sleeves a bit odd.. would need a layer under

I sympathise with all your eBay woes - I had two items bought both of which were complained about (they were pristine!), eBay demanded I refund they buyers but I never received the items back! I’ve never used them since. I like Vinted because you set the price so no chance of selling a lovely item and getting a pittance.

I’ve bought the Black Denim Pinafore Jumpsuit but I’m struggling with what to wear underneath. It looks dated with a Breton style top, the front is too high for an open necked shirt and I don’t own anything with a pussy bow (as shown in the pic). I’ll be sad to send it back - it’s very flattering.

Ooh. Pic please Star?! I like the look of that. Is it your usual Toast size?

StarShapedWindow, have you thought of a pie crust/frilled collar shirt? Brora do several, including a burgundy plaid one that looks lovely. Or maybe Toast’s cotton wool gingham top which is collarless and has big sleeves

NoCure - this is the link

Green finches - thank you, what a good idea! I do have a pie crust collar shirt which I’ve barely worn.

NoCure - sorry I didn’t answer you properly - got distracted by my very greedy dog trying to eat my lunch. It is a generous fit but I bought my usual size 12 because I don’t like tight fitting clothes. It’s flattering because the denim has a slight stretch/give so hangs well and where it stretches from shoulder to just above ankle (I’m quite short) it’s very flattering over the stomach.

Thanks Star, very helpful.
The last styling video or somewhere said they were going to do that style in velvet in December. Hmm. Denim or velvet

Now you have all got me reconsidering whether I send the black denim jumpsuit back. I requested the returns form this morning on the basis that i would rather spend the money on something velvet but now I am thinking maybe I should keep it. I don't find the cut particularly generous: I bought the 12 and I am a high street 12 and it certainly isn't loose but, as @StarShapedWindow says, quite flattering. I think I need to try it on again....

Although velvet is lovely, especially for Christmas, I don’t think I would get as much use out of it as the denim. You couldn’t wear the velvet in summer with a tank top underneath and flip flops or sandals, which I plan to do with the denim. However on the other hand you can’t make the denim one particularly glam whereas the velvet would be quite dressy.

The Scallop Ruffle Neck Shirt arrived today, disappointingly the 12 is too big on the shoulders for me and I doubt the 10 would be comfortable across my bust. It’s a shame because, ignoring the shoulders, I did rather like it on - although the collar could have done with a good press.

Is the denim jumpsuit easy to get in and out of? Some of the reviews say it’s almost impossible.

@ilovecherries, I would describe it as awkward to zip up but not impossible.

So, I tried the black denim jumpsuit on again and decided to keep it. It's not quite as snug as I remember and it is flattering. I'll post a photo later.
