Gutted that I can't see the sale! I have a basket load of things all ready.

@Theteapotsbrokenspout thanks for the heads up!
@SwordBilledHummingbird are you a kindred member and logged in?

@ScottishMouse was it this coat you ordered? What size did you go for?

I am trying it too and have opted for S|M as that’s what I’ve had in everything else that’s in that size denomination but I am a bit worried! Not much intel on the reviews.

@Snowyowl78 I don't actually know! How do you become a Kindred member? I've had a look on my account and can't see anything, also had a Google and found information about it but it doesn't tell you how you become a Kindred member.

@SwordBilledHummingbird i think it’s based on spending a silly amount of money with them! They just email every January to say if they have made you a kindred member, and then you can get free delivery on everything and early access to the sales.
they will likely do the official sale tomorrow I think?

That’s the one @Snowyowl78. I also opted for S/M - I am an old S new M so hope this is right.

@ScottishMouse I’ve just noticed it says ‘oversized’ in the description! The reviews don’t suggest that though!

Cumin Waxed coat, Midnight Tiered Twill Dress ….you lot are really showing me temptation I never knew before !
Seriously trying to buy less , offload old stuff to charity , sell a few items and now this Sale is my undoing !

Love hearing what everyone went for.
My picks were two striped poplin skirts, the embroidered collar and buttons poplin stripe shirt and the soft organic needlecord dress in tent green.
I'm trying to buy seasonless items as I have too many summer items, also cutting down my wardrobe in general, as others here have mentioned.
Easier said than done!

Oh I didn’t notice that @Snowyowl78. Hmmmm, I guess we will just have to wait and see. The lottery that is Toast sizing, eh?!

Uhoh, I went back in…

Step away from the toast site Miracle Toast!

@MiracleToast oh dear, that's fatal!

My first order has been despatched, hopefully should receive it this week depending on the vagaries of RM.

@Theteapotsbrokenspout , thanks for the heads up, somehow I am always out when the sale starts so just managed to log on now. I ordered some bedding and a patchwork quilt and then also a yellow poplin dress (already have the blue from a couple of summers ago), the tie dye cotton skirt (took a risk with the 10 as apparently not much different to the 12 which was sold out), and the cotton linen jersey shirt in aurora.

I am always amazed by how much old stuff is in the sale. If i were Toast I would be reducing anything over two years right down and get rid of it - a bit like the archive sales of old.

Someone upthread asked about the geometric dress: I opted for the medium and I am a solid 12 and the fit is perfect. I see it is in the sale again (I actually paid full price for it last autumn) and would completely recommend it as very flattering to wear and a lovely print with the green very vivid.

Happy sale shopping all x

Oh dear! I got into a kind of trance and ordered: a boatneck tee in Chalk, a half-sleeve tee in Indigo; the Fairisle yoke sweater in the blue and the green, the boatneck wool sweater in Sapphire; the blue Painted Daisy dress. Then after that went through I went back and ordered that little boxy wool-cashmere cardigan in Midnight.

The last thing I need is jumpers but Toast dresses tend to swamp me and their trousers are usually too long in the crotch, so I compensate on jumpers and tees. I don't intend to keep them all - it would bankrupt me!

@AvaGardens 🙈😂 Must. Not. Go. Back. In.

@notwavingbutdrowning1 I can very much relate to the toast trance! I usually don’t make such huge orders but I have this time. My saving Grace was that there wasn’t too much in the homeware section from my wish list.

Hope everyone gets some lovely treasures 🩷

Thanks so much for the sale heads up @Theteapotsbrokenspout, I’ve managed a few things off my wish list.

Thanks also @ToastCosILoveIt, it was me who asked about the sizing on that dress . I saw it pop up again, and I’m likely to add it onto another order in this sale.

Ah, @FitzLea , you wont regret it, lovely dress.

@Snowyowl78 I only discovered Toast a few months ago so I won't have qualified yet. Thanks for explaining! I'll keep an eye out for the sale to open up to the rest of us.

I still don't have sale access. It actually puts me off buying from them that they give certain customers access a day before everyone else. So we end up getting the leftovers. Not a great way to encourage new customers either.

Actually theres an awful lot of very old stuff that's been wheeled out for several sales and usually Toast add the newer stuff later in the sale.
There's often groaning that people went mad early on and wish they had waited !😄

I'm not enamoured of recent things,so many odd V neck things, colours are so similar and not my colour palette .
I ordered and been dispatched already, Dahlia PJs, Striped Double Cotton PJs, Corallite Polpin Tank ,sold this ages ago by mistake!

Will wait to see what else pops up !

I guess it’s just another way of rewarding loyal customers @sonjadog , as we don’t really get much in the way of discounts.
Also more things are usually added to the sale part way through and they are available to everyone at the same time.

I also got the "End of winter sale" when trying to gain access just now.

It is disappointing. The last many years I have spent around £4-6,000 on Toast items yearly, so I guess there are some other mechanisms than just amount spent that comes into the equation when deciding who gets first dips

I'm actually surprised at how much isn't in the sale. I had my eye on a linen dress with the dart down the front that was released right at the start of the year and yet hasn't been put into the sale -yet (hopefully!)

I also think there’s a lot of fairly old stock in the sale, so hopefully some newer pieces will be added later. I was hoping for more homeware as well, seems to be an excessive of cushion covers.

@BettinaInDenmark I don't know why you're not kindred then if you spend that much. Is it because you're not in the UK?
