Toasties eagerly waiting for sale day, while worrying about the life of their resold items

[ilovecherries]

Here we are

@dudsville If there happens to be a sale and if I have a weak moment, the tiered space check dress is something I might order, after looking it at it for so long (and having seen someone looking fab in it at Tate Britain). What’s the sizing like please? Usually a dress size 12 in old money Toast - now, who knows. Thanks

It's such a firm favourite , I'm constatly pleased withthe purchase @Saurus72 ! I have a medium. I'm a c cup with average, leaning towards smaller shoulders and frame. and the top bodice panel is loose on me and could take a bigger cup, but even withthe looseness I don't have the dreaded side boob display - whih I partly put down to the weight of the fabric. I'm a high street 14 and often buy toast dresses in 12's or old mediums (which this is), though I have one old 14 that has a more fitted bodice shape (the red checked one I like to wear at christmas that I posted above) and my new money fir check is an 8, which is just ridiculous given that it's also more streamlined.

Which dress is the fir check you’re talking about @dudsville . I have the fir dress but I think it’s cotton , admittedly very sturdy cotton.
good idea about using the offcuts for sewing.

Ah, i got the name wrong! It's frith! Tie neck frith check. So which one is the fir @Countmeout ?

I m not familiar with that Frith one @dudsville .

This is the Fir, I got it in a sale where I get most of the dresses, it was well reduced. It’s quite heavy, hangs beautifully. A bit heavy for really hot weather. It looks nice with a denim jacket or a navy cardigan. I am bigger in the boobs than the model. Inevitably needs a pin .

Thanks @dudsville - though looking at my credit card bill for this month I really shouldn’t…

Love the Fir and the Frith dresses, @dudsville that Frith is one I’ve been tempted but is sounds like the fabric is not to your liking ?
@dudsville I haven’t bought much from Studio Nicholson, I teturned some jeans which seemed too exaggerated for me but they were amazing.
Also returned an overcoat from the sale, it was oversized plus plus , not great.
I love my dark brown Kick boots , they gave me much joy last year and will go strong a while longer. Not much more spendsy than Toast , I’m not into Toast footwear much.

Ah yes, that's a cute dress @Countmeout, mine are also all sale, I do dabble outside of sales but inevitably return it all.

@OftenOrange , the frith is 47% viscose. Lots of folks love viscose, I do not! But it is (otherwise) a really nice dress.

Anyone got this or tried on? I have it en route mainly for pre sale trying on. No doubt it won’t come into the sale!

I havenMt @Snowyowl78 I have looked at it quite a few times, but I would prefer it without the embroidery, so have never gone so far as to try it. I’d be interested to hear how you find it though.

Has anyone tried this who also has the previous incarnation from last year that came in a few colours with a thin stripe?
I’m interested in knowing what the sizing is like in “new sizing”. I have the earlier one in an 8, but I am a 12, it is very roomy.

@Saurus72 has it, her pics made me try it on. (Was not good for my self esteem but good for my bank balance!)

@OftenOrange thank you! I wonder if my struggles with season typing is because I have a neutral skintone? Have both blue and green veins, suit both gold and silver jewellery. I tend to know what will/won't please me, but they don't seem to fit into any seasonal palette so maybe it's just that I like them and can't 'see' that they don't actually suit me🤔

General q. which I'm sure has been asked before, has anyone ordered directly from Bleu de Chauffe post-Brexit? Do they take care of VAT or will the parcel get stopped at customs? (I don't mind paying duty but really irrationally resent processing fees!)

Ah yes, @clowniform is right I do have that dress @Snowyowl78 . Just let me know what intel I can help you with (#enabler 😊).

Here it is - I’m curvy size 14 and it’s a medium.

Ooh lovely @Saurus72 ive got it on the way expecting it Friday, was just wondering about sizing. I actually ordered the small based on reviews as some said it was big but now I’m wondering if that will be too small as I am also a 14. It really reminds me of the wrap jumpsuit which I love in terms of sleeves, buttons, and colour!

I really like it, the fabric is quite robust which I love because it feels casual. Definitely a dress for most of the year for me, except for boiling hot days. I needed the medium for my bust, otherwise it’s v generously sized.

thanks @Saurus72 naybe it’ll be ok then. I like the idea of casual I am always on the hunt for a casual dress.
I would very much like it in the sale though and for toast to refund the difference. I have low hopes for sales offerings this time around though

So, do you think we are on for tomorrow? Trying not to be too excited after last week’s letdown!

That’s lovely on you @Saurus72.

So is the consensus that the sale will be tomorrow?

Also, I wanted to ask about another big AW drop - will there be one? I just ask because I really do need some warm jumpers and a winter coat, but will Toast be releasing some more options closer to winter?

This is the new tie neck silk linen shirt .. Horribly expensive!! 😮. I saw it in Brighton Toast last week but didn't try it on as it was just far too hot to be trying thing on..
But I love it! Its oversized and annoyingly the shoulders are narrow cut according to the one review on the site and they are correct ( I have wide shoulders) and so I have had to size up to the 18 !!😮😮. I really don't think that I could go any less if I want to wear it buttoned up ( which I will sometimes)..
Anyway after dithering about cost and whether it will eventually be in the winter sale ( its new stock) I have decided to keep it.. The silk linen fabric is so fine and soft and drapes so well, my photo doesn't do it justice. . I am going to treat it as my ' one statement piece from this early AW collection ' Famous Last Words, no doubt!!🤣 .. and of course ignoring the pea wool tencel top , that I already bought from this drop!!.

That dress is lovely on you @Saurus72 . I saw it earlier at Kilver Court and loved it.
If there is a sale tomorrow, I will have to sit on hands after that shirt purchase ( except if the Hiko pj bottoms are in , I will reorder as only received the smaller ones today )

Re: that shirt. Definitely size up unless you are narrow in shoulder..I have the linen tunic shirts in and would say I was a high st 14, (sometimes 16 if a fitted top) because of bust ..

@Saurus72 Love that dress on you , and I see the parallel with the tie waist jumpsuit which is one of my wardrobe favourites.
@Pretlea I asked about the next drop when I was in Mayfair the other day and was told lots of knitwear but they weren’t sure about more coats.
@Laska2Meryls Worth every penny, the shirt looks wonderful on you .

Shirt is fabulous, Laska, as is the dress saurus. Looking great, both of you.

@ScottishMouse Yes I tried that green and shirt and fell in love. I forgot to mention that because I was obsessing over the coat.
Tent *Green seems inadequate , it’s the most glowing deep olive
I took a S which is my usual/ previous Toast size,definitely on my to consider list ( and it looks amazing with the £465 skirt 😂
