My sales parcel has arrived and I am dithering on some things. The bold stripe linen tank in Prussian blue is a keeper as I already have the striped orange one and the plain orange one and they are fab and so flattering on the shoulders. The medium is perfect for my size 12 body.
The garment dyed linen pinafore jumpsuit in sapphire in a large: well, just not sure which probably means that it should go back. I tried the medium on in store and despite being a modest 12 and having had a breast reduction, it was too tight in on the bust. The large fits better but probably needs an inch off the straps and the jury is out as to whether its looseness on the body looks oversized or just plain too big. It also shows the bra straps which I am not sure is a good look for my age! When I hesitate I really need to send things back as it usually means I won’t wear it. I wish I had snaffled this in the dark green in the medium or large but they had sold out even before the sale. I was at a party in the summer with someone wearing the green version and she looked fab. She was curvier than my so assume she had the large one on and didn’t appear to be wearing a bra with it. She had one of those very even, golden tans and looked fab.
Cotton easy tea in coal is a keeper although the medium does feel extra big.
I bought the coral embroidered skirt in ecru with matching top: the skirt is divine, roomy for a size 12 so I can wear it on the waist or pushed down towards the hips. The medium top feels a bit big so not sure on this one, will need to try it on with the skirt and with some trousers. I am wearing dark underwear and these pieces really need nude underwear or a slip. I love, love the skirt.
I bought some Arizona oiled leather black birkies: as I already have the neoprene version and love them, I will keep these as the leather will age and look good.
I bought DH the ikat shirt and the Theo stipe cotton tee in green. He is away overnight so wont be trying them on until tomorrow night. They are a large for his medium frame (large seems to be his size in toast) but they do look big. I’ve learnt that what looks big or small on the hanger can look very different on his body so will have to wait and see. Some of his toast pieces are medium but we have had to size up in some pieces to a large.
That’s it for the sale, will mull over what I am sending back. I am enjoying hearing about all of your purchases and what fits/suits etc. I am so happy that these threads continue and give us the chance to compare and contrast with Toast and with other lovely brands.
