That fluid twill dress is really pretty @MsCFlower , I wish I had a use for it, but I also have a fear of block coloured things when they're light. I don't know what I expect to happen but it's sure to as soon as I try to wear something like that!
It's a sort of dilemma, isn't it @Theteapotsbrokenspout, when something suits but is hard to work in with existing things. I don't often have the energy for this sort of thing but is it worth making a coffee and getting your clothes out for a trying on session to see if it works with stuff you already own?
I had a parcel today too. The garment dyed lined balloon trousers that I thought would be a sure thing, are absolutely not, they're so oversized as to feel akward. The barrel leg cord trousers that I also thought would be fab and that looked to be cut similarly to a pumpkin colour I have from a few years back, are really awkwardly cut, and the quality of the fabric isn't as nice. It's the same fabric for the cord workwear skirt so that was going to be a problem anyway, but it just looks enormous and the light weight fabric just sticks out rather than hanging nicely the way the similar one in denim hangs. I like the landscape linen shirt, but ideally I would try a size down and it's sold out, so I'll sit on it for a bit, try it on again later. Does anyone have this? The shoulder seems are beyond my shoulders by a good inch and I don't think it's meant to, does anyone know? I might contact toast to ask.
