lol at never and laska toast-enabling! They are some gorgeous, gorgeous dresses (and boots, and pyjamas..) . I keep looking at that chevron dress too. Lovely colours. It should be awful - but i agree, never , there is something about it... (with the buttons open yy). Someone linked to this M and S one on another thread which has a similar vibe. Well, not really, but it's cotton and long with sleeves and buttons and tiers in the skirt... And about a quarter of the price (its also available in another colour with a heart print, but I prefer the green). But not now...
I'm also slightly longing for this one but again, I need to sort out my current credit card. I have one of the denim pinafore ones that laska linked to and they are lovely, but quite a stiff denim - definitely for me a boots/ tights autumn or winter dress - though the one never has looks really versatile.
I really should pay a visit to the new Toast shop in Edinburgh - even though its in the "wrong" part of town for me. Or actually - maybe I shouldn't. I agree with nanasue - best to wait til the sale....
soups - how did you get on with the swimwear in the end (or is it something you don't want to talk about... 
)? Sounds like if you are ebaying you can justify a couple of the lovely dresses! Where are you off on holiday?
laska That kind of beach day is incredibly exhausting, I find! Glad DGS is enjoying himself, though...
