Has anyone got this lovely tank? Is back in stock in M. Reading the reviews I wasn't sure about the S.

I think @Laska2Meryls had ordered it. I'm not sure if she returned it though.

Isn't it wonderful @neveradullmoment99 ! I'm wondering if i should have got another size down, but can't bear returning it and chancing not having it. I like that it's loose across the bust, but this means the arm hole turns into a viewing platform, i don't want to tweak it as its otherwise perfect. I got the length seriously wrong though, it's really ankle length!

That default is soooo annoying @Dee1224 , other sites often force you to select the size before putting it in the basket.

I think mine is a bit generous but I remember ordering two sizes last year and for me, the smaller was very neat across the bust.

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 09:43

I absolutely love the material. I see it in my wardrobe and want to wear it instantly. I do feel it is a bit full on me though. I do love it.

So, I lied, I am appalled at my lack of self-control.

The sandals weren’t the last sale purchase. Went back and looked at the restock and they was a mistake.

I found the two t-shirts I’d missed out on, the Emma and the boat neck in the chalk and soft pink (think that’s the colour), and then I found the gathered sleeve t shirt in the blue which I’d been lusting after, sever since I got the shell pink one and it looked so nice on. I also took a punt on the pale cotton pique shirt, which I think may not do for me, but I will see. So THIS IS MY FINAL SALE ORDER (unless by some miracle the denim skirt comes back into stock)

You made me laugh! 😂

Sale ends on Thursday thank god!

BettinaInDenmark · 18/07/2023 09:45

Arrrgh these sale updates are killing me - or at least my cc

I am not really a jumpsuit person. So naturally, among other items, I ordered the indigo Lydia jersey jumpsuit and the black coffee linen cross back jumpsuit. Gritting my teeth at the Euro 25 postage cost of each order.
On my way to the asylum...

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 18/07/2023 09:46

Thanks @neveradullmoment99 I’m a bit sceptical since my Dhal mariner skirt was cancelled despite there appearing to be plenty of stock when I ordered.

In other news my Ink Fracap's have been refunded but no explanation of the result of the quality inspection. I have emailed them again to find out.

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 09:46

I have now ordered:

The gingham sleevless dress
The draw string denim dress
The Toast A-line swingy jacket
The cotton navy jumper
The linen lilac sundress.

It will be a choice of somethings and others will be returned as no way can I justify all this or afford it.

BettinaInDenmark · 18/07/2023 09:48

@No1Mousie The gathered sleeve t-shirt in shell pink that I got is quite see-through. Is your that too?

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 09:50

I've had this too. She said to me that the lilac linen sundress has been picked and packed? Yet not dispatched despite saying to me that it should arrive today? I'm in Scotland. It would need to be flown up to me to arrive today.

NotAMinimalist1 · 18/07/2023 09:52

@Theteapotsbrokenspout mine haven’t been fulfilled yet either but I chose Standard delivery and there’s always a bit of a delay. The dress is still in stock but the skirt has gone off the site. Fingers crossed.

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 09:52

Then to cap it all, after paying for next day delivery on it and due a refund of postage if it doesn't come today [I hate waiting for days on end] she said I am not a kindred member as it isn't on my account. This has happened before! I have dug out the email and it clearly says I am. So ive emailed this to be rectified.

faustina · 18/07/2023 09:54

my order yesterday hasn't been dispatched either - I try not to get too excited until that point after past experience

I've ordered one more thing this morning

I think they will have quite a lot left over as we're all returning most of it!

NotAMinimalist1 · 18/07/2023 09:58

@BettinaInDenmark but you have to see things in real life to know. This is what I tell DH anyway but it’s true. I’ve kept things from this sale that I ordered on a whim fully expecting to return.

No1Mousie · 18/07/2023 10:03

@neveradullmoment99 I’m going to drop my phone in a bucket of water if I’m even remotely tempted to look at the website before Thursday !

No1Mousie · 18/07/2023 10:07

@BettinaInDenmark I was a little worried that it would be see through, but the jersey had more body than I expected, and it didn’t seem to be too see through. Mind you, it’s been so darned cold and dull in the north that there probably wasn’t enough natural daylight to see properly.

dudsville · 18/07/2023 10:10

That's reassuring to hear @neveradullmoment99 , I did choose my old money toast dress size, and it is meant to be wafty/floaty. Is that what you mean by a bit full? It's certaily weird to bend over to pick someting up and have the dress just hand from upper torser and reach the floor! I wore it yesterday evening and am very pleased with it.

Sorry you're getting messed about with your order.

None of my three orders yesterday have been fulflled.

I'm enjoying all the "this is my last purchase..... on no it wasn't, argh!!!..." posts! Today I ordered the pistachio heathery wool in xl. Toast thinks I should order a medium, but I have the blue and orange in large and they're only nicely roomy so this would be oversized but perhaps nicely so? And today I'm wearing the square necked striped tee with the flat front denim in clay.

Laska2Meryls · 18/07/2023 10:10

@mizu I sent the alpaca tank back as I felt that it was too big. But ot was the XL which I ordered because I wanted big. But ( I am blaming you here) have just recorded the L as one has come back in.
So yes it comes up big and if it is anything like the alpaca fairilse jumper which I won last year ( so am not complaining) it grows as you wear it. I am 14 sometimes 16 in high street sizes on top

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 10:12

These are my last purchases and hopefully returns!

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 10:13

I really don't need the jacket but...
I had my eye on it since the start
I was put off by reviews saying it is huge
It was fomo.

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 10:13

I'm hoping I really hate it.

Laska2Meryls · 18/07/2023 10:13

That was MOST DEFINITELY my last sale purchase @dudsville 😂

But on Thursday we are returning home from Cornwall and Kilver Court is not too far out of our way !!! ....
Hmmmm....

neveradullmoment99 · 18/07/2023 10:14

Can you face full price @Laska2Meryls Or is that the sale place?

dudsville · 18/07/2023 10:14

I'm laughing so hard. There is that real relief when we order things and they turn out to be unwanted!

ScottishMouse · 18/07/2023 10:19

Another order here too 🙄 But it is all homeware, so surely that doesn’t count, right?! Two quilts and two hanging baskets. Oops.
