Hushistas on Toast

[ilovecherries]

Old thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/style_and_beauty/3633539-Hushistas-keep-on-keeping-on

I mean the toast one. Its probably hideous! I ordered it in the ruby red. I wouldn't suit the other colour.

I envisage wearing it in a 70's retro style with black leather fitted knee length boots with a chunky heel. [I already have a pair!]

Or Victorian lace up boots. [which I don't have!]

Or even better, my dm's

never I love that chevron dress, reckon it will suit you.
I would love a pair of lace up Victorian style boots as well 🤔 if any such thing will be in the shops soon.

Thanks @melen. I will post a picture of it unless its completely awful!

Oh no - what a shame cherries. But, you're right, they would need to be extra-perfect for that money, and it doesn't sound as if they were even that good for you.

len yes, I AM manacled to the bench, but I can dream.... But seriously, I've got so many clothes and not enough days to wear them as it is! I really need to stop buying more... And though the dress is lovely (I have the duckegg Kensington from last year and wear it a fair amount and love it) I just don't really have the opportunity to wear dresses enough to merit another one... 😭 Also, I'm still considering the toast denim pinafore one at some point as an investment, that I think will be more versatile... But not yet...

never ooooh, glad you went for that dress in the end! You definitely had an itch that needed scratching . It is lovely colours. I think it'll either be great, or just be far too much material... Hard to know...(that per una dress was definitely the latter on me). I think you have some fab ideas for styling it though, so it doesn't look too "little house on the prairie"!

Has anyone noticed they have a long sleeve Kensington now?

I do really like the chevron dress never.

has anyone tried the long sleeve kensington? (im pretty sure it wont suit my shape/life)..but it looks nice though.. i do like a red dress

The Toast one is lovely, never I am still hung up on the checked Japanese trousers and dress..

I know they will go in a sale , but (stamps feet!) I want them now!! I reckon ill crack pretty soon) . I want the charcoal looped back jumper also.. I am wearing the rust one a lot

I didn't have the Toast cotton Twill , not but yes they do look a bit of an odd shape.. I feel a trip to JL is on the cards though, id like to have a good Toast try on!

Is this the pinafore you are thinking of Never ?
I love it! sadly pinafore dont really work with my boobage...

@Laska It was not that was looking for a pinafore. I bought the toast one already but not that one. This is the one I have
toast pinny

I do like the one you have posted @Laska2Meryls but I haven't worn the one I have yet!!!

sorry to tempt .. never it is very 'you' though!..
but then the chevron dress is £££ too

I have ordered the Japanese trousers and charcoal top! .. ill curse if they have an autumn sale as those trousers are rally expensive, but i am in love with them...
I love the Japanese dress also but I can wait for a sale for that

Oh laska, I am excited by your purchases!!!
Yes the dress is very 'me' I agree. WStuff had one similar for a fraction of the price. I may order it!!

I have some Victorian lace up boots a bit like these

they have these Flyones in the sale though if you wanted brown

.. actually no mine are more like the Fly ones , but with a small heel ( i just looked!) , but in black ,I got them from JL a few years ago

So chevron dress

Its a 10. I ordered the 12 but it will be yoo big.

So the positives. Its beautiful and I really like it.
The negatives. Its expensive, not lined [which i am pretty shocked about as the material is summer thin. Think the tiered paisley and lasatly will I wear it? - Does it fit my life? Would I wear it to work? Is it OTT?

oh my! that is GORGEOUS .. how do you get it so quickly?
Not lined is a surprise.. could you get a cami on under it if you needed to ?

It’s gorgeous, @never, but as it’s not lined, how practical is it? (Absolutely adorable though.... can you wear thermals underneath?)

or a thin T? it would need to be able to work for autumn,and those sleeves it might be hard to wear a cardi over perhaps ?

The winter wouldn't be too much of an issue tbh. I have a various slips. I always wear a cardigan so that's not and issue and I am always warm atm - menopausal hot flushes. I steer clear of jumpers atm.
But..what on earth are Toast thinking about not putting a lining in. I imagined it to be quite a heavy dress.
Glad you all like it. The postal service here is really quick @laska. I ordered it and I have next day delivery and my post comes around 10am.
