Thanks @neveradullmoment99

Can I ask how accurate the sizing is on the panelled linen trousers. I am a high street 12.

I bought a medium an I'm a 14. They are fine. They definitely loosened more with wear. You could try small or xsmall if you are more of 10/12.
I've got hips. Medium was fine for me.

@dudsville Not that I can find - but they were exactly the colour on the product page.

dudsville · 11/07/2023 20:58

I remember you posting that. I'm not good at this kind of thing, i can see they're different but not appreciably so. Ignore me, my dh can't understand why i can't tell the difference between HD and not HD, but i seem to be lacking a skill in this area!

Went to work meeting today in pink smoke linen shirt, coffee linen trousers and novestas. Felt v nice and cooling in muggy rainy Scotland. The pink shirt I think is actually a bit tighter around the bust area than the coffee, interestingly.

@MiracleToast - how’s the fit on the linen shirt? Reviews are mixed and it’s new sizing, so I’m not sure what size to try.

MiracleToast · 11/07/2023 21:40

@FiddleFigs i bought an M and I am a regular life size 10 and 5’9. It’s a good fit but the pink does feel tighter around bust than the coffee did in same size. Wouldn’t have wanted to go smaller in either.

MiracleToast · 11/07/2023 21:41

@FiddleFigs in old Toast sizing I was an 8 or S.

Whitesandblueskies · 11/07/2023 21:47

Rats @MiracleToast I am a 12 and have just ordered the S (no M available) in the Pink Smoke.

I really wish Toast would sort out their sizing issues. I have bought shirts in XS, S, and one M in the last few months.

it must cost them a fortune handling all these returns caused by sizing issues.

I think the Turrell dress is going back. Tried it on again this evening with a view to wearing it to a weekend lunch, and I think I got a bit caught up in the excitement of the idea of it when I initially tried it. The fabric creases badly, I think I could look a bit disheveled in it quite quickly.
But that means I can keep the oatmeal alpaca cardigan which has dispatched already.
Where are those rules again for deciding what to keep (sorry, I can’t remember whose they were…@Stravaig was it you?)? I went looking for them yesterday and couldn’t find them again.

Whitesandblueskies · 11/07/2023 21:57

Thanks @neveradullmoment99

The lofty jacquard yoke jumper in plum arrived today under the hypnotic influence of recommendations from all you enablers. It's amazingly soft and lovely. I'm wearing it over the Alder Check Organic Seersucker Dress from last summer's sale.

Very pleased to have quite a consistent palette now so that new garments generally fit in and coordinate.

MiracleToast · 11/07/2023 22:13

@Whitesandblueskies its got this strange tightness around the bust - arm area, which is difficult to describe. Your proportions may well work with it—I know someone else commented before about it fitting them in their usual size. Hope it works out well for you 🤞🏽

Stravaig · 11/07/2023 22:14

@ScottishMouse Was it these excellent distilled criteria from @Noeggsontoast , with some similar chat in the vicinity?

Whaaaaaaaaaat? THAT'S what "save" does? Wow, trying it now!

dudsville · 11/07/2023 22:24

Where the saved section at the top of the thread@Stravaig ?

dudsville · 11/07/2023 22:26

I found it!

Stravaig · 11/07/2023 22:31

It's so exciting! I'd been taking screenshots until now.

Can't save our own posts though, which is a shame (should exceptional clarity/eloquence happen to strike :)

Saved is at top and bottom, in the horizontal menu (via website, on tablet).

Amazing @Stravaig , thank you!! Although I can’t figure out where the saved posts are on my phone.

Thanks for this! Sounds as though I’ll need an M too - I’ll keep an eye out for any returns!

I’ve now been asked to return the Fracap ankle shoes

We would like to have the item sent back to us for further inspection. If the item is found to have a manufacturing fault, a refund will then be issued to you.

I’m not sure how they will determine a change of colour as a manufacturing fault.
Really disappointed about these as they fitted well and went with loads of things. I will send them back tomorrow but I have no idea how long it’s going to take Toast to make a decision, or what happens if they decide it’s not a manufacturing fault.

Toast got back to me with a refund very quickly when I had an issue with the Sturlini brogues. Fingers crossed you get either a replacement or refund soon.

neveradullmoment99 · 11/07/2023 17:57

I had that outfit on yesterday, minus the novestas! Great outfit!

I’ve just ordered the pink top. I love the jasmine colour way, so ordered this one too. Hope the pink suits me. I like the sound of it with the linen trousers you describe.

AFingerofFudge · 12/07/2023 06:44

Crikey I wish the sale had finished - I placed 3 more orders yesterday and another one this morning (the pinafore came back into stock and I had FOMO Blush) !!!
