Wonderful find@OftenOrange !

AFingerofFudge · 27/03/2023 22:19

@MiracleToast yes I am definitely at the top end of a 14 at the moment and they are definitely tight. I've just tried them on again and despite loving the material I think they don't love me and I'll probably return them.

Dee1224 · 27/03/2023 22:21

It’s a small world @OftenOrange I was watching that Dhuggie on eBay as I have it in XS from last year’s Shepton Mallet sample sale but would have preferred a bigger size. Glad you got it, I love mine.

MiracleToast · 27/03/2023 22:25

Thanks @AFingerofFudge is the material denim? And how wide is wide?

OftenOrange · 27/03/2023 22:29

@dudsville I so rarely look on EBay these days , so it was a stroke of luck!
@Dee1224 I was the only bidder for some reason so paid £25, though the other sizes went for a lot more .
Do you wear it as a dress or loungewear? It seems to structured for nightwear .My favourite toast nighties are the strappy long ones , hoping they aren’t discontinued…..

AFingerofFudge · 27/03/2023 22:32

@MiracleToast no it's not denim, it's like a soft cotton twill but in an indigo colour. They're wide as in straight down from the knees, so not flared or bootcut but just straight down.

Firesideknitting · 27/03/2023 22:37

3 of my orders arrived, everything for hubby is too small (short in arms and body). The Blundstone boots have to go back as far too big, really wished I’d bought a size down as well … never mind I’m sure they will be in next sale … absolute favourite from the sale is the wool jumpsuit ..

OftenOrange · 27/03/2023 22:40

Just checked my 2 other orders, (unfulfilled though ordered 24 th) and see that I’ve ordered the duffle coat in 6 instead of 8.
Hope they can and will change it in time.

MiracleToast · 27/03/2023 23:12

Thank you so much @AFingerofFudge — i will enquire about returns and keep fingers crossed. I love indigo

applecatchers36 · 27/03/2023 23:13

trinitybean yes that etched crepe dress is a normal waist. Am an hourglass so a dropped waist is awful as just sits on my hips! I have the fern dress from a few seasons ago which is also normal waisted.

Trinitybean · 27/03/2023 23:24

thank you v much applecatchers, sounds similar to me. I wonder if the fern dress is like my Sprig midi dress which is perfect. I may have to join the contacting Chat brigade.

Dee1224 · 28/03/2023 03:06

Wow @OftenOrange that’s a great price! I wear mine for bed and also as loungewear. It’s a lovely brushed cotton and quite warm.

faustina · 28/03/2023 04:54

@Dee1224 - I ordered on Friday, so nowhere near the end of the sale!

Two of the cord jackets in blonde (two diff sizes) and the yellow pique shirt which I'd been wanting to try since the last sale when I bought the blue version

On a brighter note, I wore my new Blundstones round Cambridge yesterday and they are like walking on air

My.blonde jacket came yesterday. Its boxy but I like it. It's quite wide on the arms but I've rolled those up. Annoying it doesn't taper. It really isn't worth £155.00. I mean it's pretty plain. I am a 14 and sized down. It fits me perfectly in a 12.

neveradullmoment99 · 28/03/2023 06:34

I mean at £60, it's a nice price!
Where they got the original price, no idea.

faustina · 28/03/2023 06:48

@neveradullmoment99 - I bought that organic denim jacket in the last sale which fitted me beautifully in a 6 (I am so not a 6 in tops). I'd been looking for something similar but not denim so yes, for £60 the blonde seemed like a good idea to try. There was a 6 and a 10 so I ordered them.
I haven't had much opportunity to wear the denim jacket yet - the weather has been atrocious here - nor the pique shirt, nor the collared tshirt - it's still big thick jumpers weather - and a long coat and boots!

Dee1224 · 28/03/2023 08:53

@neveradullmoment99 I ordered the pale cord jacket as well and have been trying to decide about it. I ordered a 10, but although it’s miles too big for me on the shoulders and arms, the middle button gapes a bit if fastened- it looks ok when open.

I am tempted to keep it because it’s a good price in the sale and I like the colour but I think it’s going back.

faustina · 28/03/2023 15:41

@Dee1224 - would you mind telling me which size you normally take in a Toast jacket? In case they get a return, if the 10 is a very big 10 I'll only try the 6

keeping on my winter theme (because it is still winter here in Narnia) I got a real Ebay bargain Toast coat which arrived today and I can really recommend it if you're also looking for a big coat - it is HUGE and padded and very warm, but unusual and very nice(and only £68) - lots of them on Ebay at the moment

Dee1224 · 28/03/2023 16:05

@faustina I sent the jacket back today so it should be with Toast by the end of the week.

I haven’t tried a Toast jacket before so can’t really say what my usual size would be, but probably a 12. The 10 was a bit tight on the chest. Mediums in jumpers fit me well but the needle cord shirt in a 10 was a bit big.

Good luck getting one via the chat, or maybe call them. Cancelling your whole order due to their glitchy system and then taking so long to tell you is appalling customer service and they should try to accommodate you in getting at least some sale stock via returns. Please let us know how you get on.

faustina · 28/03/2023 16:14

@Dee1224 - thank you! It's the buttons I have a problem with so maybe it is worth me trying your 10 - the denim one had stretch and I noticed the cord one was 100% cotton. I've been lucky so far and I don 't think they've previously cancelled any orders, but it's happened to quite a few people on here

I'm still waiting for my order; it hasn't moved since Saturday am, according to tracking. 'Live chat' at Toast was no help, just platitudes about delivery, and explaining how tracking works.......!
I want to try things on.........very envious reading this thread.

Gonegrey31 · 28/03/2023 17:34

I’m still waiting for my sale order too, placed last Friday. Ominously listed as unfulfilled on my account, boo

Stoic123 · 28/03/2023 18:45

@Gonegrey31 - oh dear, does seem ominous it's not on its way yet. The despatch for all my orders was quite quick this time.

What did you order?

I had an order confirmation email, and a dispatch email.......just the parcel was in Swansea for four days without moving, still there as far as I can see.

Trinitybean · 28/03/2023 18:57

Mine was fulfilled a couple days ago, I messaged to say is it really coming and they said it would be dispatched soon, there were loads left when I ordered so maybe just busy but dunno.
