Hello Toasties! Is there likely to be any further reductions to the sale this year do you think? I’m eyeing up my current shopping basket at just under £400!

Cute!

MiracleToast · 05/01/2023 15:28

I am also pondering this!

faustina · 05/01/2023 18:04

@neveradullmoment99 - those look amazing! I'm sure I've asked before but how tall are you?

Countmeout · 05/01/2023 18:37

Those look great @neveradullmoment99 .

The dungarees look especially good with your boots.

dudsville · 05/01/2023 20:46

Fabulous dungarees @neveradullmoment99 ! I tried them, they're very comfortable too aren't they, and I thought the sale price was also good as it's such a well made item.

Stoic123 · 05/01/2023 21:08

@neveradullmoment99 - ooh- they are nice.

@faustina - I've decided to keep the (khaki) Alix's after they grew on me after more trying on sessions. What did you decide?

faustina · 05/01/2023 21:13

@neveradullmoment99 - Jury still out! I have ebayed another slate cotton/linen pair of trousers which were lovely but really too big, and I'm waiting for a pair of sideline trousers I found on Vinted (my first foray there). I must try on the alixes again - I find it really hard to try on spring/summer stuff when it's so wintery, don't you?

MsDastardley · 05/01/2023 21:57

Did any of you buy the Falke Cashmere tights. They are out of stock now. They looked really nice, and not too opaque. I am wondering if it’s worth trying to get a pair from elsewhere.

I splashed out of a couple of pairs of lace knit cashmere tights from Brora. Initially I was delighted with them, but they have bobbled a lot. They are cosy though. Cashmere content is very low too, surprised they can describe them as such!

Received the denim workwear dress last week, really pleased with that. Got a skirt coming in next couple of days

I'm 5ft 6. Thanks everyone for your positive comments. Really appreciate them. I have been wearing all day! Super comfy.

lordloveadog · 05/01/2023 22:20

MsD, I bought a pair of the falke tights about a year ago. Tbh I didn't think better than the good M&S ones. Less stretch, not so comfy.

neveradullmoment99 · 06/01/2023 11:13

Hi there, I got rid of my pic of the dungarees as it was huge! Just in case you are looking for it :)
Looks like my blue cord dress might come tomorrow. That and the hat that Laska has but in the ochre. That is is for me. I have spent way too much so now ill just back out and enjoy others purchases.

Morning all
Occasional poster here but delurking for some sizing advice on the collared half-sleeve sweater. I'm an 8-10 normally; should I get an XS or an S?

Also will there be more items added to the sale or further reductions on sale items? I cannot remember from last year.

I fear I may be too late for you, but my collared half-sleeve sweater arrived this morning (ordered on the 27th!). I'm a size 8-10 in real life and it fits perfectly.

Boiledeggandtoast · 06/01/2023 11:32

Sorry, forgot to say it's an XS.

Snowyowl78 · 06/01/2023 12:31

If anyone was ever hankering after an Easy Harlequin dress there’s a size 8 new one on Vinted for a total bargain at £45 (it’s not mine it’s just my fave!)

dudsville · 06/01/2023 13:24

@SirSidneyRuffDiamond , I also ordered this. It arrived today. I ordered a Medium and as a 12 up top this fit perfectly.

About that, this is odd, but it fit nicely, and looked great withthe wool toast trousers from a few years back that are of the same shade and i just happened to be wearing them. It made a really cute outfit, very hamptony, but I'm sending it back. I thought it was thin and although very cute I didn't think it was £95 cute. I also ordered the stone cotton linen twill trousers in my usual toast trouser size and they are too big, I shall keep my eye out though as I liked them a lot. I'd also ordered them inolive but I don't know what I was thinking, this would be hard to work in to my wardrobe.

HeyHeyer · 06/01/2023 16:01

Well my sale orders so far have been a flop - I haven't kept anything. (I'm a short 12-14 if anyone's looking for size comparison.)

The Turrell dress was a lovely colour but felt too big (size S) and I didn't like the length and 'restrictive' bottom hem (it's more straight cut that I usually wear).

The plum dress was nice and the colour suited me but it was also too big! I did dither about reordering the smaller size this morning but decided against it as the fabric was also thinner than I expected. They've sold out again now but I may order if it pops up again.

I have my eye on a few more things but they're either still a bit pricey for me or not currently in stock in my size.

ScottishMouse · 06/01/2023 16:08

How’s dispatch time now folks? I have just placed an order for the heathery sweater (I’m trying the orange and the pistachio but will only keep one). Hoping they might arrive by mid next week if they are catching up on orders.

I agree it is quite a fine knit, but I rather like it and it's a keeper for me.

dudsville · 06/01/2023 17:28

I'm also considering the orange Heathery jumper. I was in a store today to return my first parcel. I was 3rd in a queue all doing the same. It made me feel better about returns in shop. I asked about sizing for the heathery and I'm considering going up a size or two.

applecatchers36 · 06/01/2023 17:44

Am returning the gathered sleeve wool tops they are very scratchy, heavy material not very versatile, although the brass colour was lovely, less keen on the coffee - infamous sludgy brown again!

Countmeout · 06/01/2023 18:04

My orders were dispatched yesterday. I think I ordered on 29th . I won’t get them until possibly Tuesday. They must have almost caught up.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 06/01/2023 18:36

I’m hoping for some further reductions soon as there’s still a couple of items I’m interested in.
I received my refunds for the items I posted back RM on Wednesday, really fast, I’m quite surprised. Also should have my 30th December orders delivered tomorrow, so definitely catching up.
