Toasties springing into Spring 🌼

[IlovePond]

Hi,

As promised, here is the new thread. All are welcome to chat about all things Toast, znd any related topics!

Just popping on to say there’s a brand new Toast botanical print on whatnot - bids up to £32 so far - will be running soon
think it was a size 10 https://www.whatnot.com/s/DQZHfZvSwww.whatnot.com/s/DQZHfZvS

@IlovePond I will report back. I have bought a few shoes from reworn, only one pair had signs of wear showing on the soles. Sometimes they say they are new and from their warehouse but these ones they stated as worn. I don’t mind if ever so lightly worn as long as it hasn’t changed the shoe, I don’t want someone else’s gait affecting mine.
The shoes look really lovely. Let’s see how they turn out.

Thanks @ScallopShellWalk 🤞they fit and are in good condition!

Has anyone who bought the wrap cotton skirt secured it to stop the wrap opening ? If you could explain to me how you did this I would be grateful.

If anyone is looking for the shadow botanical print dress, try customer service. They had Ms and Ls in stock when I rang on Friday. They’re on at the last sale price, £55. The dress looked fabulous irl at Chelsea Flower Show.

Calling all dressmakers/sewists….can any of you tell me what would happen if I removed th darts from the cotton line poplin sleeveless top? https://www.toa.st/products/cotton-linen-poplin-sleeveless-top-ecru
I love it, but the 12 fits my bust but is too tight on my belly, the 14 fits my belly but has too much fabric at the bust. I wondered if taking the darts out would make the 12 a better fit, but I’m not sure how it would hang/look. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I asked AI what it would look like and it gave me this. Is it realistic?

How about making the darts bigger on the 14? I don’t know how thick the fabric is but there is a danger you’ll be able to see the stitch marks where the darts were. If you’ve got anything in a similar poplin it might be worth an experiment on a hem or something.

Yes I did wonder about the stitch holes @alliscalm. The 14 is far too big on the bust for me, so I don’t think I could easily alter that but taking the darts out of the 12 would be pretty straightforward I would think.
