Hushistas on Toast

[ilovecherries]

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

Ok toast dresses. Tried the mila again

And these

I LOVE the actual dress and it really suits you. Are the buttons just reflecting the flash though, or are they actually white plastic? I usually love the way Toast pays attention to detail, so I’m assuming it’s just the camera.

And this

The second one also gorgeous. Their is another thread just now where someone was styling that dress for her sister’s wedding. I think she decided on orange, which I imagine will look fabulous with it.

The third one has been in my basket for two weeks, so I shall say no mire about it :)

Lust.

They are actually white!!!! I quite like that though. I love the colour of the first. Its neat on the bust though but I am losing weight so not bothered about that and its not uncomfortable as it has a bit of give strangely.
The mila pinwheel dress is lovely but the fabric is not the best and I think its pretty delicate. You could snag it easily although it does come with a slip. Its just a nice size on me now. When I ordered it in the summer it was a bit neat on the bust but not so now.
The third dress [teal one] Lovely from the back but REALLY bunches out at the back. Looks like a hump as its gathered. That is going back although lovely again and beautiful quality material.

I just like to try and then return lol....

@Ilovecherries, I have the coat and I love it. Totally great in the sale. I paid full price weeps and I haven't actually worn it yet!

Just had a Toast catalogue delivered. Oh my. I love this season stuff!!!
I just love how they have older women styling the stuff too. They look amazing!!!

They are natural corozo buttons so not 'white'

and not plastic.

They will be great, then. Are you going to keep one? I’d probably choose the first one with the buttons if the third one isn’t quite right.

so surprised with the teal anokhi that no one has reviewed it with the bunching effect at the back. I will try it on again then make my mind up. I can only keep one dress. I think the mila will go back. I love it but I will buy in the sale.

Yes @cherries. I LOVE the colour of the first one. Its beautiful.

Actually, I shouldn't even keep one dress!!! Going to sell a few things though. [really need to get round to it but its such a chore]

So the anokhi is back in the running. It does billow/balloon a bit at the back when the wind catches it and it does look a wee bit funny! Its helped by the belt but I tend not to be bothered by belts.
So between the burgundy one and the anokhi, which one?

Asked my daughter and she likes the berry shirt dress. That's what I originally ordered but thought I would throw a few other dresses in to try. I just absolutely love the colour for Autumn. I guess that's it decided!!

I think for autumn that’s the right choice. I love the other, but if you are always going to be tugging at it, it’s not worth the money - plus it IS more a spring/summer dress imo. It’s only in my basket so I can monitor the price!

So on the sale wish list will still be the anokhi. Reason for returning is really that I like the colour and there is something about the neckline. I love the idea of it with lace up boots. I will order the anokhi and another reason for returning is that I think it will be less forgiving when I lose more weight so when it does go on sale, I may need to order the 8!!! eek! I have the 10 on in the picture. The berry dress is a wee bit neat so will be fine. Not intending to lose loads. Just a roomy 12 will be fine. Strangely the scales don't seem to want to budge and technically I am 'just' a healthy weight and no more despite my clothes all saying I have lost quite a lot! So weird.

Totally agree about the summer thing. The lighter one especially! It has no lining. The berry one doesn't either but its quite a robust cotton and I have a perfect length slip that just fits under it. It was clearly meant to be :)

Sorry that didn't make sense. Reason for keeping the oxford shirt dress is the colour and I love the no collar neckline.

I am not a 10. Not yet!

Monacos with the elastic hacked off. I need to drag the sewing machine out to put a small hem on them, but I think they will be ok? If not I will cut another yard off and turn them into Marseilles shorts!
