Doesn't JL sale usually start on Boxing Day?

Laska2Meryls · 24/12/2021 09:06

I wonder though when Toast will start their official sale ? Cant price match atm anyway!

Countmeout · 24/12/2021 09:16

My order isn’t getting here until Wednesday and that probably means Thursday, still in Swansea where there seems to be a black hole for things that have to go by air .
I did pay the £110 for that jumper @SmaugMum because the marzipan wasn’t on John Lewis’s website. I’m actually disappointed by the range offered at John Lewis this year.

Looking forward to seeing a picture of your orange coats. I love the colour.

Online, traditionally, as soon as the stores close on Christmas Eve

It always starts online on Christmas Eve, usually about 5pm.

@neveradullmoment99 thanks! That’s really good to know!

I’ve screenshot the Toast page showing the sale price ready to send to JL as proof.
Laska2Meryls · 24/12/2021 10:19

Good idea Smaug I shall do the same

SmaugMum · 24/12/2021 10:20

@Countmeout, I love the marzipan jumper but I already have an ochre fair isle sweater that is worn non-stop from about November through to March. I’m pleased that I cracked and ordered as it is now out of stock on JL and Toast. Come on, JL, a decent reduction this evening, please!

JustforToast · 24/12/2021 11:46

Hmm that sale is super disappointing. Hardly anything from current season on sale. Maybe they can get away with it but it’s pretty irritating.

SmaugMum · 24/12/2021 11:52

JL sale is starting online across all departments…not Toast as yet! I’ve got JL and SantaTracker on constant refresh!

NoCureForLove · 24/12/2021 12:33

Thanks for JL heads up. Just snaffled this that I've had my eye on for ages - at half price (ish).

@NoCureForLove, that’s a lovely jumpsuit; I hate how they’ve styled it with those gold chains, though!

NoCureForLove · 24/12/2021 13:51

I know! And the cardigan doesn't do it any favours either...
Anyone know about Brora sizing? Bought 2 sizes to hedge my bets...

faustina · 24/12/2021 14:12

@SmaugMum - thank you so much - I've just spent far too much on Brora jumpers!
@NoCureForLove - brora sizing depends which fit. Have a look on their website. Some of their classic stuff is quite neat, some more relaxed. It should say against the item

Laska2Meryls · 24/12/2021 14:41

Toast order arrived and they have sent me someone else order !....
Hmm.. ill have to chat to them after Christmas now

Countmeout · 24/12/2021 14:43

@Laska2Meryls 🤦‍♀️

Laska2Meryls · 24/12/2021 14:45

Not even my size !! (bah)

faustina · 24/12/2021 14:50

@Laska2Meryls - it's not 3 stripey t-shirts and a red gown is it?

Countmeout · 24/12/2021 14:51

I think winter lasts so long here they’ll hold off reducing things like knitwear hoping it still will sell. Same with warm trousers. The woollen coats have only 2 sizes in the Miller left. They did say in one of the videos about trying to reduce what went into sale too. The only consolation is that th8ngs have a habit of popping up in subsequent sales often for quite a long time.
ScottishMouse · 24/12/2021 15:39

Reporting in on the orange coat.
Sadly, it isn’t the one, and will be going back. I went for a size 10, am usually 10 or 12 in Toast. It’s very big, and swamps me. If I was taller, I think I could get away with it being oversized. But the real problem, as many of the reviews note, is the sleeves. They are a dropped shoulder, which I like in a top or knitwear, but I have now tried a few Toast jackets/coats with this style of sleeve, and I can’t say it works. The fabric is too bulky at the seam and so the sleeves stick out weirdly and then hang weirdly all the way down. I think a smaller size would have been better, but the sleeves are actually tight at the seam, so a smaller size would not have worked on the arms.
The never ending quest for a coat continues…

Laska2Meryls · 24/12/2021 15:51

faustina no its a full price order , skirt and three tops. It looks like my order label has been stuck over another..Carefully peeling it away I think that I can see who its really for .. ( no one here unless any of you are an SR from Trowbridge ) .. ill talk to Toast on Monday and hopefully it can get sorted out.. in the meantime , I wonder where my long white shirt has gone?

Laska2Meryls · 24/12/2021 15:54

Jumper arrived though (separately) love it

TOAST 2022, what will it bring us?!

Gorgeous jumper, Laska, out of sheer nosiness, what size did you opt for? I’ve ordered a M in the green/blue.

faustina · 24/12/2021 16:07

@Laska2Meryls - love the jumper - it looks really good on you!
