Yes they do look great. May I ask how tall you are @billydilly ?

TheChattyRat · 05/03/2022 19:31

I like the patchwork outfit but not sure I would buy it (even if I could afford it) as it is very distinctive . Thanks for posting the pics @TempleofZooom

I'm going back a bit but the swingy denim dress - I know a few of you bought it but did you size down from your usual toast size? I'm kind of tempted

billydilly · 05/03/2022 19:45

@MrsCat1 I'm 5'3". I'd still like the trousers to be an inch longer, so fed up with crop..

Thanks @billydilly I'm 5 ft 8 inches so they would be cropped on me. Hmmm...

@billydilly - they look so nice on you - and I love your beautiful marmalade cat too!

@TheChattyRat - I tried it on and returned as it was quite tight on the bust and then huge elsewhere. I think there are pics on the previous thread

TheChattyRat · 05/03/2022 20:09

Thanks @faustina will have a look

billydilly · 05/03/2022 20:13

@faustina He's a Maine Coon so takes up a lot of kitchen space!

Laska2Meryls · 05/03/2022 20:17

That hemp cotton jacket is a lot like one I bought from the lovely Faustina last year! (on ebay without realising it was her!) ..

Laska2Meryls · 05/03/2022 20:19

Gorgeous pusscat Billy I do miss my old puss..Sad. trousers are nice too! Grin

Laska2Meryls · 05/03/2022 20:21

[quote ScottishMouse]@MrsCat1, missed your post earlier. I also tried those trousers, but in the montella colour. There are model pics of those: www.toa.st/products/cotton-linen-twill-wide-leg-trousers-montella
I thought the fabric was a little too thick for the style actually, and felt they stuck out a bit in places as a result. Front pleats don’t work well for me, so they were a no for me. I was also a bit short for them, they were full length on me and would have needed altering. But if you like pleats and are taller than 5’2, then I would say they are worth a try.[/quote]
Ooh.. I really like those .. hadn't noticed them previously .. I think they'd work for me too ..

He's one of a matching set, big lads!

@billydilly beautiful cats. Love!

neveradullmoment99 · 05/03/2022 20:41

They are like mini lions!

Laska2Meryls · 05/03/2022 20:46

Lovely 😻...
Actually those cotton trousers are out of my price range now ..sadly I think most of Toast is now .. but I have enjoyed it whilst it lasted... 😢

Stoic123 · 05/03/2022 20:49

@billydilly- gorgeous cats!

The trousers look much better on you - I'm heavier up top. They were more cropped on me (5'7") and I prefer the length on you.

I loved the colour too.

billydilly · 05/03/2022 20:52

Thanks @Stoic123. I don't get the ubiquity of cropped keks, they don't suit most folks

MrsCat1 · 05/03/2022 20:58

Gorgeous cats!😸😸 They are beautiful!

Stoic123 · 05/03/2022 21:08

@faustina- thanks for the advice on the Novestas. 39s fit well and I'm happy with them.

Now wondering whether I should get another couple of pairs before price inflation hits them too. Considering Ecru and Olive. Will take this pair out of a good walk tomorrow to test first.

Has on this thread worn them for a while so can advise if they last/wear well?

faustina · 05/03/2022 21:08

@billydilly - you have two? So envious!

faustina · 05/03/2022 21:11

@Stoic123 which colour did you buy? I managed to spill a cup of coffee on mine before even leaving the house, but luckily you can't really see because of the colour. I've worn them a few times and they're really comfortable - also thinking of buying another pair!

Stoic123 · 05/03/2022 21:16

@faustina- Sesame like you (copycat!). Get the feeling that they'll be at £70 before long...

billydilly · 05/03/2022 21:20

@faustina The brothers used to be inseparable but one of them has a new bestie..

You're so lucky! My last cat died just before the pandemic and I thought I'd have a few years where I could just up and off on exciting travels without the faff of cat sitters - I've barely left my postcode since, and I've missed having animals so much

billydilly · 05/03/2022 21:34

Oh I'm sorry. They leave such a hole in your life when they leave don't they? Any kitten plans dare I ask?
