I'm not sure if I am being swayed by the massive reduction...

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

DamselInDisarray · 20/07/2011 12:27

It looks pretty drab and shapeless on the model.

missorinoco · 20/07/2011 12:28

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!)

LawrieMarlow · 20/07/2011 12:28

I don't like it much.

faustina · 20/07/2011 12:30

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

Beamur · 20/07/2011 12:32

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.

TracyK · 20/07/2011 12:42

There must be a reason why its only £18!!!

Bearcrumble · 20/07/2011 12:56

yes, TracyK good point. Thanks all. I don't think I'll bother.

Good decision - it looks very drab and shapless

flybynight · 20/07/2011 13:06

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.

faustina · 20/07/2011 13:24

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!

LemonDifficult · 20/07/2011 13:29

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

Bearcrumble · 20/07/2011 13:45

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

I've just ordered it...

archanat10 · 20/07/2011 14:00

i like the skirt & thank god u dropped the idea about buying that shirt dress :)

higgle · 20/07/2011 15:29

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

levantine · 20/07/2011 16:31

Ooh which jacket did you get Faustina?

faustina · 20/07/2011 17:02

Jacket

it's my Barbour replacement - and a million times nicer - machine washable too. looks much much better on

AnnThology · 20/07/2011 17:05

prison chic?

noddyholder · 20/07/2011 17:09

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

Bearcrumble · 20/07/2011 19:43

Will do, Lemon.
