New thread

That was when the sale disappeared. Sadly it is stuck in Swansea.

It will hopefully arrive inbetween Christmas and NY

I think what it is is if you put some stuff in your basket when the secret sneaky sale was there you will be able to go ahead and buy, whereas if you put stuff in since they stopped it, you won’t. I had some stuff on my phone in the basket which are still showing as reduced and let me take it to check out, but on my iPad with additional things I added yesterday they aren’t reduced.

@Laska2Meryls i bought a Medium in the men’s cord and I would probably buy a medium in that kind of thing in the women’s. potentially I could go smaller but I think it would only go smaller on the waist/ chest which I don’t want. So I think I am going to stick with the medium although the sleeves are too long. As the cuff is quite neat I don’t think it matters that there is quite a lot of material consertinering on the lower arm. It’s lovely material. I think actually that it’s the same colour , material and the same buttons as the women’s version linked below but much less voluminous/blousey. hope I haven’t lead you down a weird rabbit hole, but I think it looks good anyway!

I love a Toast rabbit hole Snowy!!😀
@neveradullmoment99 , have you tracked your parcel? Mine was showing as only just arrived at Swansea yesterday (and it has a long way snd a ferry journey to get here, so usually takes 2 or 3 days by normal post) and yet its out for delivery today.. I wonder if Toast sent all last day Christmas posting as next day , but I certainly didn't pay for faster delivery

@Laska2Meryls iforgot about the price! It was in the sale at £115 (£165 full price)

I actually also tried that men’s blue checked jumper - it was beautiful to look at, lovely flecks, but it made me look rather bulky.

Thanks Snowy, I shall definitely try it.. if you have time please can you let me know the chest measurement of the M ?

Yes, I tracked it this morning. Tbh, I ordered after the secret sale was finished. My fawn trousers are out for delivery today though :)

@Laska2Meryls its just under 23” from armpit to armpit

Fantastic thanks Snowy..

So re: sale ....
We are not in any danger of being a little obsessed , eh? Any of us ? No! Not me , definitely not me , most definitely Not Me .... 🤣

I have not logged in and out and refreshed the old archive link more than once this morning at all , .. Neither am I staying in Christmas baking and making DH go out to collect the turkey and buy wine or anything like that just so I can keep looking, Nope. That must be someone else ...

Some of the men's clothes are lovely but from memory the reductions weren't great (yet )

@Laska2Meryls - while you're obviously not thinking about Toast 😀- you have the Elena denim long shirt don't you? Do you think it would be too long for me at 5'4? I know you're much taller

Certainly not! Me neither.

Anyone got this and can advise on size? None of the reviews comment on it

My order from the secret sale has just been delivered. Not opened yet but fingers crossed they're keepers. Still no sign of the sale and no I've not been checking at all! 😂

I am wearing it today as it happens @faustina ..
I am a smidge under 5'6 and its a long tunic on me , here are a couple of awkward photos, with some slightly crumpled Gabis under and unmade bed! ( I'm wearing warm cord leggings but just wanted to show you with lighter trousers under).. Front length is 32in and back 34
Mine is a 12 and its plenty big enough to get a vest top and tee under ... I really cant understand how it didn't sell.. I bought it full price when it first appeared and wear it a lot ....
The other one which still appears in archive sale and may again in this, is the Taro checked shirt, very similar in style... I bought that in the sale though but its really lovely

Thank you for doing that @Laska2Meryls - perhaps I will give it a shot if the sale ever comes back again. Do you think they put us on the naughty step for finding it early?

@Snowyowl78 - I think @ScottishMouse might have tried those on and she didn't like them for some reason - might be wrong though!

My secret sale has also arrived this morning. I must say it's not as much fun when we can't all play, but I'll comment on a few things.

I'd say the deep plum shirt dress is plum and not brown, to my eye.

The fair isle yoke is fitted. I'm a 12 up top and this fits me comfortably but it doesn't suit me.

I'm actually planning to go to a shop tomorrow to do my returns, so hopefully they'll be available for the sale.

Also, the stack check trousers were in the sale, if they pop up again I'd say these are much better looking in person.

2 of my 3 parcels have arrived, the other one should have been delivered as it is on the list as out for delivery, I assume its somewhere on the van and got missed.

The Francis tee is nice and comfortable, although the sleeves are a bit long but that's just because I've got short arms.
The small Hogla basket is quite a bit smaller than the medium that I've already got but definitely useful.
Really pleased with the Ticking Stripe duvet and pillowcases in mineral blue (quite greenish I think), I wasn't sure about the colour when I ordered as I prefer the Graphite, but certainly worth it at that price.

The missing item is the Sketched Leaf dress, just keeping an eye on the tracking in case it gets delivered to the wrong place - unfortunately quite common here as there are quite a few villages with the same road names.

So cross that I missed out on a secret sale! Does anyone know if the Fracap boots were reduced? Or any of the current denim dresses.

As far as I remember it was the Fracap sandals that were reduced.

I ordered the craft check linen dress
its now in my wardrobe

There was a denim dress @SmaugMum - possibly more than one!

There were at least 2 denim dresses I’m sure .

Fingers crossed it’s the mega-expensive draped utility dress! I’ll be watching this thread like a hawk now; Christmas chores be hanged!

It might have been that one Smaug - though I can't 100% remember. I will cross my fingers for you
