Bunny got there first! Grin

Why is she wearing pjs and a raincoat... I think she's on the edge.

squoosh · 15/04/2015 22:55

I like the wallpaper though. At least that's vibrant.

ParkingFred · 15/04/2015 22:55

I hate to see anyone over the age of 3 in dungarees.

No adult looks good in them, ever.

They are all over the blogs and it has only reinforced my opinion.

guilianna · 15/04/2015 22:56

I think she looks great. The trouser hems could fall a bit lower perhaps, but I really like the look. Too old and hefty myself.

Those blue trousers linked to upthread make the (very slim indeed) model look like an overweight 60-something American man on a golfing holiday.

lol..yes and there is worse on there. Poor girl. She must get paid an awful lot to look like that. What age must she be? About 19 or 20?

Toast clearly despise women. I've never seen a more frumpsville collection of garments in my life.

Yes but the thing that gets me is, how do the people on the website think this will sell the clothes. I do actually like some of the toast clothes. But you have to pick carefully.

You wouldn't get me in dungarees for love nor money! But she actually looks quite good.
Some people look gorgeous in a bin bag don't they were as other like me. I have to spend hours getting ready before I'll feel decent enough to go out the door. Saying that though I won't even put the bins out until I look perfect.

PrimalLass · 16/04/2015 10:34

I really, really don't see the appeal with Toast. Ridiculously expensive frumpery.

Thisishowyoudisappear · 16/04/2015 10:47

I like dungarees (can't wear them though, due to stumpy legs and big arse) I love the Toast catalogue, I love a bit of frumpy style. BUT even I can see that all those cropped trousers and culottes are heinous, absolutely dreadful, and if they don't look good on a professionally lit, stationary model, what the hell would they look like on a normal person doing normal things like, I dont know, breathing and moving around?

I'd like the dungarees in the first pic if they were are different colour, and yes, that whole family needs some serious iron supplements.

Thisishowyoudisappear · 16/04/2015 10:48

When I say a different colour, I think I mean navy blue. Not red or anything.

KissyBoo · 16/04/2015 10:52

I went out with a vegan once.

Fucking nightmare.

He had that pasty complexion with added purple undereye circles and use to bang on about 'isinglass' and milk products in baked beans for the one meal he would eat out when all you wanted to do was get bladdered.

He wasn't a vegan when we first started going out because, well, just no really. Shit in bed too. No oomph.

On a relevant note, I like the shoes in the dungarees picture but the rest of the get-up looks shite. You just know those straps would end up dangling in the bog as you faffed about getting the beggar off, desperately trying not to piss yourself.... bladder ishoos

squoosh · 16/04/2015 10:56

Isinglass. What the feck is that??

KissyBoo · 16/04/2015 10:59

Fish fecking bladders they use in the filtering process of some alcohol. I hate that I know this.

God he was tedious.

50ShadesOfSummer · 16/04/2015 12:49

I like dungarees but not those. I'd wear them in a non-white colour with a slimmer leg. (I also have dungaree shorts.)

There's a thread over on AIBU about this where dungarees are getting a slagging. Our own AmberNectarine is defending them.

OopTheShard · 16/04/2015 12:53

180 quid for those culottes?! Blimey.

And those shoes

VipersBosom · 16/04/2015 12:56

I love Toast in general, and have bought some gorgeous things from them down the years, but I have to admit that this summer's catalogue is awful. Other than some rather splendid kimonos, there isn't a single wearable garment. And yes, their trouser shapes are always strange - they seem to go for that defiantly fashion-y frumpiness that looks odd even on model-shaped bodies and would make me look like a mattress with a string tied round my middle...

daftyburd · 16/04/2015 15:42

I had dungarees like them. Way back in 1983 when I was 13. I styled them and looked better in them than that. Pale blue desert boots, hair all back combed with a head scarf tied round it. I thought I was Siobhan from Bananarama.
In 2015 I wouldn't dream of putting those hideous things on. Plus the sandals just don't match the dungarees.

Twinklestein · 16/04/2015 17:13

I think the model is way too thin. I hate dungarees, and those have weirdly wide legs and an odd length. Dreadful dowdy 70s shoes.
