Toasties exhale after the sale excitement and show off their lovely outfits

[ilovecherries]

Hello again! Thread 33 or something!

Oh, and I was wrong about the Apricot gathered linen dress, they have fulfilled my order, so that’s on its way too.

They will refund the difference if you ask them on the chat

My dress got lost in the post, well between toast and the post, so just a refund for me.

Final reductions have tempted me to try Pond again - this time in small. I have also ordered the drawstring neck tee. Does anyone have that? It’s been in my wishlist for a while:

I’m trying that too @Dee1224 I thought it was good value but I’ve ordered the chalk.

I was tempted by chalk, @Countmeout but I am always worried about ruining pale colours🤣

Just off to divest myself of my Pikachu outfit and to distract myself from ordering more ‘final’ reductions.

I have two linen dresses and the cotton trousers arriving tomorrow.

Still pondering socks and tee.

Inspired by recent discussion around wearing the Toast we already have, and dresses with A Waist, I'm in this 2020 poplin wrap dress today. Sorry if the angle makes anyone else dizzy, my hallway's the only place to capture the colour (that very dark greyed blue which Toast likes to call Prussian) but it's too narrow for a straight photo.
Now that my sewing skills have improved I have the wild idea of trying to make a version that's a better fit in the bodice with a slightly higher neckline. The skirt has a very practical mock wrap construction which I think could come from the Paper Theory Zadie pattern.

I ordered that top too [ Tie neck]. Had it on my wishlish for ages. I love the style of it. Ive ordered it in a medium as someone said it was quite big. I also got a reduction of £50 on the Pond. Thanks for the info that it had been reduced.

I got it in the dark navy.

@clowniform That looks fab on you. Really shows your figure off.

Very nice @clowniform !

I had that navy tie neck tee in my first order. It was a great colour. I had an Xs and it was nicely loose (so not new sizing), but I felt the ties were a bit fussy, and the small ruffle would look tired quite quickly so I sent it back

I am wondering if I should have ordered S @faustina . I am a bit unsure about the ruffle myself 🤣

Thank you @Dee1224 and @neveradullmoment99. I rarely reach for dresses with defined waists these days (somehow they feel too dressy) and had forgotten how much I liked this one.

@ilovecherries you look very cool and what brilliant bargains! Have you considered asking your dressmaker to make clones of the lovely boatneck dress (assuming you're as greedy as I am)?

The brushed back trousers are further reduced and mine are still in the post so I have emailed to request a partial refund.. ( having asked online a nd apparently they can, if one emails )

I said to the person and he did it on the chat.

Oh interesting, my person said that he couldn't and I had to email...

Well, I’ve clearly gone mad

That's a perfect dress for you @clowniform !

I'm a well intentioned fool. I'm trying the two little denim dresses. The one I tried before was the Ivy in a medium. That was too big so I've ordered a small. I'm also trying the drawstring wasit one - I opted for a small, but does anything think this one might have sensible sizing?

@dudsville no it’s massive! Size down

@Dee1224 - which size did you order? I think you are the next one up from me, in which case order the small!

Thanks snowy!

@clowniform that is such a lovely dress - can I ask what the sizing is like please?
