Personally I don't like it, but I suspect these will be fashionable for a while since Rihanna was pictured wearing one.

It looks pretty drab and shapeless on the model.

No, but it would depend on your shape. I would look like I was wearing a bin bag tied with string in it, but I don't go in and out at the right places. (Front to back curves rather than at the sides!)

not sure about the pockets if you were anything other than very flat chested

I would look like I was wearing a sack. But I can imagine if you are slim and chic this could look quite stylish with the right outfit.

Good decision - it looks very drab and shapless

Am I the only person who thinks that Toast clothes are the opposite of sex? An anti-aphrodisiac? Not that I want to look like Jordan, but I don't want to look self-consciously and actively (and expensively) dull either.

some of their things are awful, but some are really nice once you actually put them on - I bought a jacket a couple of weeks ago and it's wonderful - great colour, hangs beautifully, fantastic swingy cut. Not exactly sexy, but not dull either!

Just seen the skirt, Bear, and I think it looks good. Quite fancy it myself...

It looks useful, doesn't it? I think I prefer the blue one.

I want the Laika dress, but it is hardly reduced at all.

I think the shirt dress could look good open with a vest and a big belt over skinnies and boots. The quality of toast stuff is good
