Lovely jumper and cardi - agree re: the non Summer, would prefer to just get on with Autumn now. Planning to treat myself to some of the Falke merino tights this year, maximum cosiness.

Thank you @ilovecherries

I always like my jumpers unfitted so am probably not the best person to ask - but I think it looks very flattering on you - I'd hate to wear a tight high necked jumper

neveradullmoment99 · 18/08/2021 18:43

The jumper looks fantastic on you @ilovecherries

MrsCat1 · 18/08/2021 18:58

@Saurus72 I tried the micro check dress on in the Richmond store the other day. I loved the fabric but it is very over sized and not sure it did much for me. I thought it would be nice worn as a light coat over trousers.

@iguanadonna

Has anyone got or tried the Crinkled Cotton Check Dress (Ink Blue/Bluette)?

I'm wondering what it would be like on an hourglass. Annoying not having any pics of it on a person nor any reviews.

I keep deciding not to order it and then seeing it again and thinking just right colours on me...

I have the dress and the culottes in the blue crinkle check plus last years crinkle dress Blush Im a tall hourglass and its just right, loose but not baggy. The fabric is beautiful and cosy without being too heavy. Im a 12 in real life and swing between a 10/12 in Toast and the medium is perfect.

@ilovecherries
I have that gansey and mine is a similar fit .

Saurus72 · 18/08/2021 19:12

@MrsCat1 yes, you’re not the first person to say it isn’t too flattering. Is it one of those styles that looks too big no matter how much you size down? I think it may be an itch I need to scratch and try it on for myself!

MrsCat1 · 18/08/2021 19:33

I think it depends on your body type. I just don't look good in oversized things. I did size down but the waist was very big, and being a broad shouldered hourglass I look better in things that have a waist. But I did like it in many ways and would have bought it if I had a different body type!

Laska2Meryls · 18/08/2021 19:38

Annoyed. The denim Elena arrived and it fits nicely everywhere except under the armpits which are just too tight, and since its obviously a shirt that you'd wear a tee or thin woolen top under ( being heavy denim and loose tunic shape split from high waist at sides ) I really dont know why they do this ..

I am wide shouldered and have generous norkage but have compared it with other similar Toast shirts ( in 12 and 10 ) which I have and its definitely cut small there .. but I love it as a shape ..So I am going to have another go at the 14.. Sad (but I did think that was too big previously)

ilovecherries · 18/08/2021 19:44

I k ow Laska, given the toast aesthetic is pretty oversized, an awful lot of their clothes are tight somewhere. I tried that micro check dress as well but decided the dolmen sleeves would annoy me as I tried a coat over the top and just couldn’t get it comfy. Plus something weirds me out about feeling bare arms against a bare side. Which is odd, I know…

Laska2Meryls · 18/08/2021 20:10

Cherries Gansey looks good , especially good for vanning /walking .. I have eleventy billion jumpers but otherwise would have gone for it myself

iguanadonna · 18/08/2021 21:08

Thanks Temple! I'm hopeful

That Gansey looks great on you, Cherries. Also it looks like a really good quality jumper

faustina · 19/08/2021 04:51

JL doing some very generous offers on what's left in the sale

ScottishMouse · 19/08/2021 14:02

Some new collection popping up on Toast’s website in the different sections (though not listed under New In yet). I may have ordered the adorable denim hemp jerkin and the floral wool scarf…oops!

neveradullmoment99 · 19/08/2021 14:39

Seeing there are reviews too :) Also model shots!

ScottishMouse · 19/08/2021 14:55

And I got a refund in less than 48 hours this week. It’s all looking up!

neveradullmoment99 · 19/08/2021 15:04

Beautiful things mmm....
So tempting!
Love just the simple boat necks. Think i may just order one soon!

Saurus72 · 19/08/2021 15:10

I’m LOVING the look of this one - it only comes up if you search for dresses, it isn’t listed yet

ScottishMouse · 19/08/2021 15:17

Oh I didn’t spot that one @Saurus72, it’s fab!!

faustina · 19/08/2021 15:19

@Saurus72 - very well spotted! Brilliant colour combination

Laska2Meryls · 19/08/2021 16:02

Klaxon!!!
New Stuff online at Toast.....

Laska2Meryls · 19/08/2021 16:21

Ooh beat me to it!
Like the new Shetland lace jumper in fawn, ( I do wish that they would make their jumpers longer though ) and the cord skirt.. ( in both colours)

AFingerofFudge · 19/08/2021 16:33

I like the cord skirts too @Laska2Meryls
I looked this morning on JL, but even with their generous discount there was nothing to tempt me. @faustina did you get anything?

faustina · 19/08/2021 16:46

@AFingerofFudge I re-ordered two sizes of the boiled wool navy cardigan to try since it had come down to a more realistic price, and then some things from Kin which has also got lots of new reductions - a red dress which was already in my basket, and a black kimono top

I really love the dark olive dress, and the jerkin is lovely but probably too short for me - think I'd probably be forever pulling it down!

ScottishMouse · 19/08/2021 16:59

@faustina, I have that boiled wool cardigan and it is one of my favourite Toast pieces ever! I’m wearing it right now. I don’t know why it didn’t get more love.
I sized up from my normal Toast jumper size and felt that looked more in proportion. Because the sleeves are big, I felt the body needed to be a bit bigger too.
Anyway, I hope one of the sizes works for you.
