Toasties enjoying sale buys and waiting for Santa

Here

I’m sitting on my hands trying not to order the batik dress, I love it but I’m not sure I will have occasion to wear it! If it goes down to £150 I might reconsider! Glad people got stuff they’ve been holding out for!

Thanks for the heads up on the restock.

I've sent back my first order - cream cord Hal and a cotton scarf. The jacket was shorter than what I was looking for and the cotton scarf not quite right for me.

I've ordered the check cotton wool pull on trousers. I think few people have these - do you think they are only for house and garden (as one review says) or would you wear them out for a lunch say? My life style is quite casual but I'd like trousers that I can wear out and look smart-ish in. Thanks!

Thanks for the restock alert. Just some more Angela Harding cards for me- I bought a pack earlier and they are lovely. I don't send many Christmas Cards these days so the ones I do might as well be really nice.

Just had dispatch emails for my two orders from Tuesday.

Has anyone got the denim neat shirt dress and can tell me if it’s heavy and hot? I’m hoping it’s light like the denim wrap jumpsuit, but I won’t be able to wear it if it’s too heavy. Thanks!

Aaarrrrggghhh I so want to order the cotton canvas project bag for my needlepoint. But it’s £45 for a really small bag, and i can totally live without it. I had the Leach bowls in my basket but took them out again. So lovely but no need for them.

I was thrilled to order a sheepskin hot water bottle cover: I like my home comforts!

For all the fellow Leach Pottery lovers, I have ordered a few (!) sets of the nesting bowls, plus jugs and mugs from a Seasalt/Leach Pottery collaboration (I think Seasalt actually sponsors an apprenticeship at Leach?)

I have fallen for the Toast Graphic Yoke Jumper from a couple of years ago in oatmeal and wondered if anyone had seen one second hand? The new one is a bit chunky for me, whereas the old one looks finer. I found this one on eBay, but I need a small https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/386560034889?hash=item5a00c60849:g:esIAAOSwLsZllc8A&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4HCfXvuPNodj92hlbYw7Z9pQm5J3Jnxt2gbl4HURZQdvqKnLyVnNNsPGWVpEWGLV3%2BhVU8%2BGa5zl3KVFS236R3awkF1EzRd%2F41S3JgezShuSRtJYYRcP32O%2FP338vaQmaXjPEEU8KZEKa9j9iPvzTAaAtTyavFPUiW6M2ICQce07E%2Fhqm41EtswHaN5GDjSXb28f%2FfZTaro5ViP5Sp5Qgw0RtAVv1HcLL29vrC0OHQcPJsVUY%2BENvXDbfIe2WmHw0tsIq6Tk6peyEtItCshRNLzWelBIMVeInXX2v5jyRFCq%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6ba-pWbYw
I've even considered knitting myself, but can't find a pattern similar!

@dee they've said they're sorry they have immediately rectified their mistake, no movement yet.

My order from Tuesday has also been despatched, including the Leach bowls, hoping RM manage to get them here in one piece.

@WhompingWillows That's very interesting, I didn't know Seasalt did that.

Hot news! An assistant in a shop told me that there are more new stock items going to appear on Thursday. (I 'm waiting for the green gingham trousers too)

@Dee1224For the blue dress, friend ordered in a size up from Old Toast and the fit was spot on .

I did too - the hot water bottle cover that is. I have one, as do many of my friends and family. Love em. Bought this one for house guests … or maybe an extra one for me! 🤦🏻‍♀️😆

🙌

Thanks @OftenOrange !

My Greta dress just arrived - 12 much better fit though I preferred how the sleeves fell on the 14. If anybody has the Greta, do you love it? I’m not 100% on keeping it and I can’t work out why. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I tried it on over my joggers..? So cold though. If anyone has returned it, why? I’m on the fence atm.

I'm dithering over this.
I love the print but no idea how it looks in RL
Could you post a pic and we can critique??

Oh exciting!

There are a few new names, can we have a clue as to you are?

@Snowyowl78 the neat denim dress is quite light but be warned it is extremely small especially if you are large of boob, I would size up if you are going to order.

@Saurus72 I love the Greta dress but I have a couple in this style already. I particularly love the colours and print. I wear a m and s slip under mine and in this cold weather have picked out the burgundy with a cardigan from Brora for a warmth.

I'm not sure that my reasons are helpful though. Trying stuff on definitely needs to be with the right things and in the right light. I so wanted to love the geometric tie dress but as soon as I put it on I didn't feel right so I went with my instinctive reaction and have returned. I'd loved it for so long but it wasn't for me.

Love this, I picked it up in sale too…. It’s really flattering I think

Green gingham trousers!!! I’m hoped for those

@AFingerofFudge ah maybe I’d need a 14, and it’s sold out. I’ve never had a 14 in any toast dress! 14’s all round in normal life.

@Saurus72 im still dithering mainly because I have overspent now with the restocks and have decided to definitely keep the embroidered one.
Reasons to keep- the print, comfortable, flattering, long sleeved, neater on the neck than my other easy dresses. Reasons to return- sometimes I don’t like wearing crepe and prefer the natural feel of cotton, I’ve also overspent! That said it is cheaper than a lot of dresses. If it went down to £70 I would definitely keep it

@Saurus72 i think it looks great and if you wear dresses all the time you’ll wear this one.
I don’t think I’d wear it in the summer
