I know!!!!

Absolutely love toast stuff, but as it is so expensive, usually wait for the sales.
But now and again………

Toast is pricey, but it lasts forever, so not a bad investment, as long as you don’t get fed up with it

If it buttons all the way down, you could double up and use it as a duster coat.

GrammaH I understand what you say about Mini Mouse, I am fortunate that I have tiny feet, depending on make and style I am either a size 2 or 3.

Oh! To have such tiny feet, 2 or 3 that means children’s shoes does it? My own plates are a whopping size 6.

What’s a duster coat?

1950s flared coats

What’s a duster coat?

A trench coat is usually tailored for a snugger fit, especially in the waist, and often features a belt, while a duster has a looser design, and is often worn unbuttoned.

What is a ‘swagger’ coat then? I think , as a child, I had one of those, but I can’t remember the style .

I stopped buying from Toast because I had several very poor quality garments from them. One corderoy top looked like a damp rag after only a few months. At which point I saw an almost identical garment in the late lamented M&Co for a third of the price, bought it and wore it for several years. I would probably be wearing it still if I hadn't got a blob of bleach central front.

On the other hand I bought 2 summer night dresses from them and they are going strong after 10 years

JamesandJon A swagger coat flairs out from the shoulders so that it has a very wide hem and the coat has a movement of its own. You can swagger about in it with the fabric spinning out from your body.

Monica, yes, I’m talking summer dresses, I bought three similar one year, probably eight to ten years ago, still worn regularly.
To be honest, everything I’ve bought there, not a huge amount, a few tops, a jacket, seem good quality, but they have yet to stand the test of time.

A swagger coat.

MaryDoll I love that coat.

I always thought that a swagger cost was a flared hip-length one - or so DM used to say.

H&M, GG.

My mother had a grey checked one like that in the late fifties. It would be so fashionable today!

Fatface for me; I have 8 or 9 of their dresses...
Also have a look at Live UK, available in John Lewis or on line.

I've looked on the website and I really like the look! thank you for the recommendation !

I popped into my favourite cancer charity shop yesterday with a few things to donate and found a lovely Wallis dress which fitted me perfectly ( it doesn’t often happen) for a mere £5. Double bubble everyone wins. Delighted. 😀

The problem with shopping in charity shops, is that you have to be the sort of person who buys clothes at random as and when you see something they like.

If, like me, your clothes buying is very focussed, for example I am currently looking for a good quality winter coat, dark grey, mid calf, unbelted, in a size 12, then the chances you will find exactly what you want in charity shop, unless you are prepared to visit hundreds of them, are, regrettably, very low indeed.

This not to say that I do not look round charity shops and occasionally buy something. If I see something I like, I am unlikely to buy it unless I can see exactly when and where I will wear it and whether it will fill an existing gap in my wardrobe.
