Toast the fourth!

[neveradullmoment99]

Welcome :)

@ilovecherries it’s what the side view was like would swing it either way for me, I’ve tried that style and I feel I’m too busty to get away with it. Looks lovely from the front though.

TaRa. Drumroll. Side view.

Sorry @ilovecherries for me I think I would feel I was veering into maternity territory from the side. Have you tried the other denim ones @Spottyeggis talking about?

I just popped into say I bought the brown Toast cords from John Lewis, they arrived today and I LOVE them!!!

Ilovecherries it could do with coming in at the waist really, but don’t know if that style would work with a belt?

It’s ok, it’s going back. Anything that needs that much thought is a no. Pity as it’s beautifully made but I felt as if I was going to be knocking things over while wearing it as I wasn’t in control of the edges! Will see if anything better appears in the next sale, not paying full price for the other style, I only tried this one as it was reduced.

It’s a no from me too cherries

I think it’s too big and not flattering your figure in the oversized insouciant draping kind of way.

I asked before about Beaumont Organics and may have said, I wanted to like them but didn't like the styles. The AW20 styles look great though.

Yep @ilovecherries, I have to say I agree with the other comments. I tried this dress earlier in the summer and had the same feeling about it. Just a bit too a-line, and combined with the stiffness of the fabric, it felt awkward. I have the pinafore style in a cotton/linen mix from some seasons back and it is a much better shape.

Sorry about the plug, but I have no association at all with them but they look a bit Toast-y.

Stalf is another one.

So, No one is impressed with the Taro shirt? .. I rather liked it....🤔

Looks better with skinny jeans perhaps....

I likevthe taro @Laska2Meryls. Its lovely close up. Love the print.
I think it needs skinnies.
Its very similar in style to the stripe one we both have.
It does look quite generous from the side but fine from the front.

@Laska2Meryls I really like it, it's the one that's longer at the back than the front? And no, I don't think it would be better with skinny jeans, I think it looks great with the trousers.

@neveradullmoment99 lol at us giving conflicting advice!

I have the cotton oxford shirt @Laska2Meryls which is a similar cut. I wore mine yesterday with Skinnies but I have worn it with trousers too. I prefer it with skinnies but the trousers were fine, I just occasionally feel it’s one of those items that wears me instead of vice versa.
I bought two long sleeve cotton tops (mine have a sort of polo neck but loose) and I balked at the cost at the time but I’ve got so much wear out them so I think the cotton top might get lots of wear if you decide to keep it.

I always love a shirt, but fear it’ll wear me as I’m not tall. Yours looks good, Laska.

Ok its a keeper! Like the conflicting skinny baggy style advice !! Shows that Toast is versatile!
I have been looking at other breton stripes and tbh can't find any that I like so much colour combination wise.. So keeping that top also ( and pretending that it wasn't that expensive.....🤭.)

Another refund from Toast this morning, obviously they don’t have any more of the herringbone blouse either.
.... so that means I can definitely get the black & green checked dress to try after my John Lewis styling session next week!

I’ll be interested how that green check fits, moonshine. I tried the chalkboard check and my normal size wouldn’t fasten at the waist, but was too big on the shoulders.

I’m applauding your logic Amethyst. Personally, I’ve raided eBay of Toast items even though I know sellers are probably getting bargains, bulk buying and selling at a mark - up, it’s still cheaper than full price.

wearing today withh leggings.. yes possibly better.. Anyway I am keeping it 👍

Sorry if these have already been talked about, I haven't read the whole thread. Has anyone bought these? I love the look of them but they're very expensive! Tempted.....

Moonshine, re the Sie check dress, size up is my view, especially if you are busty. I have the 14 which just about fits at the waist even though I am a 12 in other styles and occasionally even a 10. it is very similar to the purple patterned dress of early spring which I couldn't get to fit me even in a larger size but which looked fab if you could (I think someone on here bought it for a wedding or special event).

It is a beautiful dress: I haven't worn it yet but autumn is well and truly here so it will be getting an outing soon.

Far better!
