The Mock Turtle

I had a vague impression they were oversized but the waist doesn't sound much bigger than other size 40 things I have from other brands.

They're 1m20 long IIRC, so yes, too long for me, but I'm fairly short of leg I think.

It's hard to tell from that photo but I don't think those trousers look like a big size 40, I think they look like quite a regular size 40.
It's been a while since I bought anything in Cos but I found its sizing to be variable, rather than consistently oversized. But as I say, it's been a long time.

I don't find Cos particularly oversized unless it's something that's designed to be. I find their waists quite small so if the measurements of the waist fit, the rest is likely to fit nicely

Thank you everyone

I’m watching Full Swing on Netflix and am wishing I was a Team USA Ryder Cup WAG as their matching outfits are so nice. I’ve tracked this one down and am pondering. It’s still quite $$$ but I think I’d wear it quite a lot.

I love it, it’s so preppy.

Oh me too. I can imagine flouncing around in Charleston in a dress like that

I’ve found it with 30% off which is still $454. I’m kind of tempted though.

That’s a lovely dress and you can wear it for years to come, it’s such a classic dress.

It is a great dress that would really suit you. Seeing it's Ralph Lauren, the quality will be good, so you can wear it for years to come.

I love a blue and white stripe. I had my stripey trousers on yesterday and my admin asked me if I was channelling my inner train driver.

I vote buy it

I’ve fallen for this honeysuckle print from Seasalt.

It's very Wimbledon to my mind so I think that can only be a good thing! It's lovely.

That is very you Pip and not dissimilar to a shirt you've already got? Not that I'm policing purchases! Heck I've just bought a candle. Literally burning money.

I probably do. I’m a shirt fan.

I really like the wide leg linen crop trousers that Erica Davies is wearing lots too. But the reviews on those suggest that they might be a bit long on me.

I had to google Erica Davies. I don't do blogggers, vloggers, influencers, peoples on insta and shit so I never know who anyone is.

I decided against the Ralph Lauren dress. It was just too expensive. But I spotted this dress, jumper and skirt today and they’re on my birthday list. I love the fox print.

I saw a similar dress to the RL one and thought of you. But now I can’t remember where I saw it.

If you do remember, I’d love to know!

I think it was either Boden, or French Connection.
