It doesn't look like much in the pics but the belt is really long and versatile so you can either wear it loose or wrap it round a couple of times for a more 'cinched-in' look. The skirt length is very flattering and there are three huge pockets!

The khaki version arrived today and I loved it so much that I've just ordered the blue as well. i have never ever done that before.

Size down, though - it comes up big. I thank you

I like it except for the back. The back w random extra pocket is odd but not in a hipster way just in an annoying wtf is that way. My toddler would stick all manner of shit in that.

I think it's not actually that Amish, for Toast! I like it but the length would look weird on me, would prefer it it was a maxi.

So true about the models Juicy :o

I suspect this dress looked better when the potatoes were still in it?

I love Toast. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I love what they do.

I’d take Hobbs’ Twitchill dress over this any day of the week

i love the dress! Glad to see so many not liking it (as it means the price might get reduced even further)!
I can only afford Toast when it's on sale and managed to get some good bargains over the years (£18 linen dress in our local John Lewis )
I have three toast dresses. All amish looking and I love it. Quality is outstanding too and so are the natural materials they use. I'm a total convert and would have my whole wardrobe out of toast!

I love the Hobbs Twitchill. They’ve been stocking it for a few years now and I expect that’s because women just keep on buying it. I might see if I can get another one in this year’s sales: ironing be damned.

Bloody funny thread

I couldn't wear a neckline like that with my boobs. I would look like something out of a medieval film set. The busty woman wearing a sack selling fruit.

It might be flattering on you but I bought a dress similar a long time ago and on my compressed hour glass figure ( short and fat) I looked awful

Some of us don't have the luxury of spending that on one dresses, when I said I'd want three for that price doesn't mean I'm going to buy them at the same time. It would probably be one in spring , one late summer and one early winter.

I think it looks lovely, and have just ordered one in blue, thanks OP

My tits are too big to do justice to the Amish look but I covert it greatly.

Had to laugh when I opened the link. If I wore that I'd look like a pair of tits in a potato sack. Not flattering for my body shape at all!

Looks like it’s being worn back to front.

To all the people saying Amish - it really isn't. Amish women wear long sleeved dresses, they would never wear anything sleeveless. PIL love in an Amish area, I've never seen an Amish woman in anything other than a long dress with long sleeves and boots even in the height of summer.

I think the dress looks drab and shameless though.

Shapeless not shameless! Bloody auto correct

I don’t think anyone meant literally Amish!

That dress is tragic! So, so boring.

It's gorgeous! Bet it looks fab on.

I have just bought a lovely Boden dress though, so can't really justify it.

My favourite dress this year is a White Company number. I don't know how to do links though. It is white with grey chevrons.

Literal Amish! Lol

Lol at all the Amish comments. This is fairly racy for Toast.

I am a fan.

All those dresses are "if you're young and thin then this bag will look good because you still look young and thin in it, because you are".
I don't think any of them look BETTER because of the dress, none of them are flattering in any way I can see.

My mum always said "if youve got a perfect figure then you can wear a binbag and look great".

The colours are a bit Handmaid's Tale econowife.

I would look so drab and washed out in this, my looks are too plain and boring for his to look chic.

Yes, you are right - it’s a bit Handmaid’s Tale. Not a good look.

Much prefer the Hobbs dress but it's sold out in most sizes.
The other dress looks peasant like to me, though sure some women would carry the look off well.
