@neveradullmoment99 I've just bought those trousers. Though too light to wear at the moment I absolutely love them and can't wait for the warmer weather. I got XS - I'm a 6 to 8 - and they fit really well.

That top is beautiful @Countmeout . I think @Laska2Meryls bought those balloon trousers last year and said very good things about them

Off to investigate the Sideline twirl and zoom! Oh and when I looked at their website earlier there was a pop up which said you can get £10 off if you subscribe to their newsletter, so that could pay for the postage and return if unsuccessful?

faustina · 24/02/2023 13:35

forgot to mention - on Instagram, Sideline has a special sample sale account where they randomly post samples for very reasonable prices. I haven't tried it myself and it's sold as seen no returns etc, but thought I'd mention in case anyone wants to have a look

Well I fell off the wagon too and ordered the linen top
www.toa.st/collections/womens-tops-tees/products/garment-dyed-linen-swingy-shirt-midnight
It arrived this morning. Lovely weight. The sort of thing that reminds you why you buy Toast. I ordered my normal Toast size in tops like this. I would say it’s marginally smaller than the white blouse in a similarish style. Not helped by the cake eating. But I doubt the next size would hang as well as this one, also linen stretches. And I loved it the moment I took it out of the package.

is that these trousers @neveradullmoment99 ?

will look forward to hearing about them, I think you’re taller than me though?

Yes! I'm 5ft 6 ( Almost!)

My Fracap Ola sandals arrived. They have more of a green tinge to them than the photo on the website suggests (which is a good thing I think). I have been wearing them around the house to break them in although they are super comfy already and don't seem to be rubbing. i am looking forward to wearing them with ankle socks and dresses!

Noodle421 · 24/02/2023 16:55

@ToastCosILoveIt oooh, thanks for the update. Do you mind posting a picture of them pls although I totally understand if you’d rather not. It would be good to see them a little more green. I’m still conflicted over whether to get olive or black. Black may be more useful in my wardrobe but I do love the olive 🫒 ( couldn’t resist the emoji, it’s so cute ).

No problem, out now, will post later.

@faustina thanks for the tip! I have followed

Countmeout · 25/02/2023 11:10

What is that account called @faustina ? I looked but couldn’t find it.
Thanks also for the top love.
@Laska2Meryls bought them this year too I think. I thought I might like them but wondered if the colour was too similar to the brass Alix.

Well the balloon trousers came. The small on my size 14 shape are fine. Perhaps could have sized down again but tbh, I like them baggy. It's all about hoe you like to wear them. I also ordered the navy boatneck. Looks great the the ochre. Pleased with them 😀

Stravaig · 25/02/2023 13:21

Some nice things in the Sideline sample sale! I've been following them for a couple of years. I like some of their ideas, and especially that they seem to be following their own inspiration, outside of fashion trends. (Early Toast was like this.) Haven't seen the right combination of colour/pattern/style, so no purchases yet.

neveradullmoment99 · 25/02/2023 13:45

Not much left though!

MrsCat1 · 25/02/2023 14:42

I've bought from Sideline in the last few years. I have a couple of lovely dresses. As you say they are a bit like the early Toast that I loved 20 years ago. Sideline is great quality and I would definitely recommend. I'm currently drooling over the new collection but no orders yet!

Snowyowl78 · 25/02/2023 14:51

@MrsCat1 how do you find the sizing? I have a few things on the way but now I am worried I have gone in too small! Postage and returns could be an expensive error

MrsCat1 · 25/02/2023 14:56

@Snowyowl78 I find the sizing a bit hit and miss to be honest! I have one dress in a medium which is pretty big on me and another in a large which is ok. I'm a high street 14 to 16. So not much help I'm afraid. I'm definitely tempted by a couple of things but am holding off until the much heralded next Toast drop which is soon I believe. It should then be March so I can smugly say that I have had a Toast free Feb!

Countmeout · 25/02/2023 15:02

Yes interested to see what is in the next drop. I’ve bought the only thing I could really make a decision on in this one.

Countmeout · 25/02/2023 15:03

I’m going to get another thread up and going if no one minds as there’s only 6/7 posts left in this one.

OP posts:
Snowyowl78 · 25/02/2023 15:05

Is there going to be a new drop?

thanks @MrsCat1 this is reassuring. I have orders M’s and I am size 14

faustina · 25/02/2023 15:05

I only have the billy trousers which are on a par with Toast sizing (if not slightly bigger). I like some of the dresses but not buying anything big until the weather warms up. About the sample sale insta page: it gets added to quite randomly with no warning, rather annoyingly - usually in one go.

@Snowyowl78 - I hope you've guessed right. I hate buying blind when I have to pay for returns, especially when sizing is odd. Maybe they do free exchanges?

Looking forward to seeing what Toast has coming up next!
