Toasties enjoying our sale buys and springing into a new season

[Countmeout]

New thread everyone

@OftenOrange I tried it and second @ScottishMouse . The fabric is lovely it’s just the fit (on the shoulders) that didn’t work for me. I was so tempted to try it a size up, but thought it might be a bit too voluminous.

I had exactly the same problem @No1Mousie I hate raglan sleeves, they just don’t work for me. So many Toast shirts have them recently. I did try the larger size, but it was massive everywhere else.

Ah, thanks @Stoic123 and @OftenOrange - I will reconsider it tomorrow- I do like a hat!

@faustina - I bought the coat at a s/s till and there was no warning it was non-returnable- but it says on my receipt so I guess I am stuck with it. I was quite happy with it until I saw it in daylight! It’s a perfectly nice quilted coat, just a bright… very bright…postbox red and makes me feel either about five or ancient, depending on viewpoint.

What on earth was I thinking🙀? I am going to look like a cross between little red riding hood and the terrifying killer from Don’t Look Now!

I have even found myself wondering if it would take a dye, but I have a very poor track record with dye 😿

Thanks @Stoic123 and @OftenOrange . I bought the Bryn at the start of the sale at £20 dearer. Is it too late to claim the difference with customer services now?

@alliscalmI did get a refund of the difference on that dress because it was within the 14 days return window, I rang them and said I could return it and re order for the lower price, the lady said , no need we will refund you. So nothing lost ringing them and asking .
@No1Mousie@ScottishMouse It’s good to hear that it’s lovely in person. I bought the Ash shirt on EBay , similar cut , and it’s weird across the shoulders .
Anyway based on your thumbs up I’m going to give it a go !
@Dee Red is THE colour I believe so why not do your nicest hair and face , step out in it and hear the compliments !
I zoomed a friend yesterday she was full on bright red; glasses, dress and lipstick and she looked fantastic. Not very Toast ( very different sense of style) but really good.

Well, it will most likely go back ! Sounds like a straight jacket for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for your response. I like it but I'm not too bothered.

I can't wear raglan sleeves either.

I did try owning some Toast raglan shirts but ended up selling them on. Every time I wore them I kept seeing that Holbein portrait of Henry VIII. Nope.

Thanks @OftenOrange I will see how it goes!

@Dee1224 - also a red fan. Can you post a photo?

I don’t think I dare @Stoic123 😹I will try it on again tomorrow, (seeing as I am stuck with it). It is nice, imo, apart from its brightness, combined with its quiltiness, and then there’s a hood…

I agree with you on raglan sleeves @Stoic123 - they do nothing for my body shape 😿

@OftenOrange the yellow tablecloth shirt was the only thing I bought full price that season. I have worn it loads and absolutely love it!

I, too, like the hat on you. And I like red.
I have quite a few ragland sleeved shirts. I may be delusional that they look good. I have quite bony shoulders although the rest of me isn’t.

I think bony/slight shoulders must be what you need for raglan sleeves if you don't want the wife-beheading vibe. I have broad shoulders and solid chest and look like I'm sharpening my axe.

Was there a rumour of new nice things to look at on Thursday? I'm postponing buying anything at EU prices and will wait until am in UK one day, but do like looking!

@AFingerofFudge That’s what I wanted to hear , shirt on it’s way !

I’m okay with Raglan , fairly wide bony shoulders Hilarious discussion and

definitely appropriate for my forest green needlecord shirt which is very Henry 😂!

😭

Does anyone have this? I have wanted it for a while but reviews aren't great!

I tried it on during this sale @Teamustbefromateapot and whilst I really like the Maya style (and hoped this would be similar) I didn’t get on with it. Just felt it was too voluminous and didn’t flatter.

Interesting about the raglan sleeve on the broad shouldered , would love to hear you @lordloveadog nailing the truth on Toast Love.

So what dress shape does suit the broad shouldered menopausal spread figure.

The embroidered textured cotton dress has seen a lot of wear

Sent back in the sale the tie neck fluid dress which just seemed too big

But have had a wobbly moment and sent for the abstract print Bryn, which reminded me of wearing Jigsaw in 2001 with a proper hourglass figure.

And the tie waist geometric dress....which appealed to my imaginary, slender alter ego.

Any particular style I could be confident about going for?

Thanks @Countmeout - I tried it on again this morning before work, (stupidly making myself late in the process!)

Put the red coat on, then chickened out before I got to the door😿

I meant to say yesterday @Stoic123 - that jumper looks lovely on you. My sister has it too.

Hi @Dee1224 Here is the lovely watering can. Sorry I’m a bit late to it.

It is lovely @MiracleToast and looks so nice on your table. Thanks so much for posting!
