Really enjoying the surge in chat on this thread.

I have been in to a London Toast shop today and tried a few things on and made a few purchases. The shop was all new autumn wear with almost all of the summer stuff gone now.

I am a busty high street 12, often a 10 in Toast but a 12 for the jeans and some of the dresses. Usually a medium in the SML ranges.

Firstly the Vibrant Check Cotton Dress: I have had my eye on this for ages but knew it was one that needed trying on. I am pleased to report that the 12 looks fab on and I've bought it. Range of sizes in the shop was, as usual, very limited so there was no chance ot try the 10 but the 12 fits well. www.toa.st/collections/womens-dresses/products/vibrant-check-cotton-dress-lime-ruby

The Micros Gingham Cotton Jumpsuit: oh my goodness, I wouldn't have given this a second glance on the website but this is absolutely fabulous, a flattering fit and a Japanese vibe. I don't think the model on the website does it justice, it is beautiful. I tried on the small thinking it wouldn't go near me but it fitted with room to spare and just flatters the body so much. It is ankle skimming on me and I am 5ft 5. Another purchase. www.toa.st/collections/womens-jumpsuits/products/micro-gingham-cotton-jumpsuit-slate-ecru

The Mila Bolete Print dress: the 10 looks huge on the hanger but is more snug in th ebust than previous versions of this dress (but still big enough). I didn't buy it as I'm not sure that the colour was a good one for me. www.toa.st/collections/womens-dresses/products/mila-bolete-print-dress-honey

The Ruffle Collar Check Shirt in Sapphire: tried on in a 12 and fits perfectly (although the website recommends a size 10 for me). I appreciate this shirt is marmite on this thread but i love it: will look great with Annie jeans or with slim black trousers for the office. Another purchase. www.toa.st/products/ruffle-collar-check-shirt-sapphire

The Micro Gingham Cotton Dress: the small was a good fit but it didn't wow and the colour didn't flatter me. It also felt a bit short in length. I had expected to love this but didn't. www.toa.st/collections/womens-dresses/products/micro-gingham-cotton-dress-slate-ecru

The Wool Cotton Lace Knit Tanktop in Kingfisher. They only had a large in stock but i really liked it and the large certainly wasn't huge. A great piece for throwing over dresses and teeshirts in winter or wearing on it's own in summer. Bought it. I see it is sold out on line in most sizes. www.toa.st/products/wool-cotton-lace-knit-tank-kingfisher
I have been hankering after the Jessa Denim Dungarees and miraculously they had a pair in a size 12. When on, they looked perfect in every respect apart from at the front at the waist which seemed to sit a little low and didn't flatter. The 14 would have been too big on the bum and the top. Didn't buy. www.toa.st/collections/womens-denim/products/jessa-denim-dungarees-indigo

Bought the Fairisle socks in green to wear with jeans - www.toa.st/collections/womens-socks-tights/products/fair-isle-socks-green-multi

I asked about the Hexagonal dress and was told none are in stock anywhere and they have already sold out. The assistant reckons they briefly came onto the website before they were in stock and the pre-orders meant they have already sold out.

I also asked about the green solovair Dora boots and was told they are likely to sell out on pre-orders so I think I am going to order now.

Quite a lot of the new knitwear was in store: it all looked fab but I didn't try anything on apart from the lace knit tank.

Saurus72 · 20/08/2021 21:42

@ToastCosILoveIt wow what a fabulous haul, lucky you. Thanks for the update, very strange about the dress selling out - that was what I was hoping to buy, v sad if it doesn’t come back into stock. Enjoy wearing your lovely new things!

This one do you mean when you talk of hexagonal dress ToastcosILoveit?
.
Seems odd if it is oos on preorder as or only appeared on the site yesterday lunchtime.. I had assumed that it hadn't come into stock yet...

Sounds like you got a really good haul though .Any chance of photos?

Laska2Meryls · 20/08/2021 21:50

Perhaps they are all going to 'insiders' ....but there certainly has t been any Kindred previews

Laska2Meryls · 20/08/2021 21:52

Also at £180 I'd be surprised....🤔

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 21:57

@Laska2Meryls and @Saurus72, i too would be surprised if the dress had sold out before it even seemed to appear on the website but that is what they told me. I live in hope that the dress will appear as in stock at some point.

My haul was indeed good and not exactly planned, but Toast has a way of seducing you. I did take a couple of pics for my fellow toasties which I will post later. The photos are very outing but my Mumsnet posts are pretty much limited to Toast posts Smile.

Countmeout · 20/08/2021 22:02

Interested to see the jumpsuit I thought it looked lovely @ToastCosILoveIt the price is quite good too.

NoCureForLove · 20/08/2021 22:03

I think much more likely not yet showing correctly on website. The cord yoke dress also showed yesterday as mostky oos - which seems equally improbable...

NoCureForLove · 20/08/2021 22:06

Great post ToastCos! Thanks. Ive got my eye on poplin yoke shirt in the weird colour - 'rubber' - wtf? ... and that print dress you didn't like the colour of..

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:09

Re the hexagonal dress, I showed the assistant the link to the dress and she took the name and the style number and rang someone up (I assume another Toast store) and that is what they told her over the phone ie sold out: seems hard to understand though.

They also had a couple of small silk square scarfs in: a stunning one in an emerald green colour. Although they had them instore, they couldn't sell me one as they weren't appearing on their electronic till and they aren't on the website yet Confused.

BathwaterBaby · 20/08/2021 22:13

@Laska2Meryls I'm looking for a pinafore how much are you asking for it (I was previously on hush thread but I change names weekly and lurk etc)

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:22

Gorgeous jumpsuit

Toast is there any stopping us?
ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:23

Ruffle blouse

Toast is there any stopping us?
Laska2Meryls · 20/08/2021 22:23

Bathwater Ive decided to keep it now...sorry, I do love it , but just hadn't had a chance to wear it...
( Its the current A line pinafore) ..
I must ' know you from Hush thread then! )
You may have seen that there are a at least three of us old Hushistas who have now been seduced by Toast and post here now ( although I did buy a couple of basics in the Hush sale this week) ..

Laska2Meryls · 20/08/2021 22:25

@ToastCosILoveIt

Gorgeous jumpsuit
Love that on you! Yes you are right, the photos on website don't do it justice
Laska2Meryls · 20/08/2021 22:26

Blouse looks good also!

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:28

Mila dress (which I didn't buy).

ilovecherries · 20/08/2021 22:30

You look fabulous, toast.

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:30

Vibrant check cotton dress (which looks better in real life).

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:32

Micro gingham cotton dress (which I didn't buy).

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:36

@NoCureForLove, i liked the colour of the print dress but I don't think it flattered my colouring. I may yet buy it if it is ever in the sale though as I buy that style of dress from Toast every season.

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 22:37

@Laska2Meryls, the jumpsuit was the top buy of the day undoubtedly, it really is their best jumpsuit yet and I have four other Toast jumpsuits from the last few years.

JustforToast · 20/08/2021 23:06

Wow, I have found my tribe! I can’t believe there is a chat just for Toast lovers like me.

I just bought the ditsy print east dress in an 8.

www.toa.st/products/ditsy-print-easy-dress-pea-green-prussian-blue

I think it’s a keeper, albeit arms not ideal- and looks a lot better on the model!

That harlequin print dress looks like it is similar style. I doubt it’s sold out and suspect it’s a supply chain issue

ilovecherries · 20/08/2021 23:16

Hello justfortoast!

toastcosiloveit - is the jumpsuit a very fine lightweight cotton or is it heavier - ie something you could wear well into the autumn?

ToastCosILoveIt · 20/08/2021 23:27

Welcome @JustforToast!

@ilovecherries, it is a light cotton but will do on one of these days when it is 19 or 20 degrees with birkenstocks and then into autumn with long socks and boots and maybe a vest or long sleeved teeshirt underneath. I love it so much that I will be wearing it all the time!
