styling conversation

Countmeout · 09/09/2021 20:12

@neveradullmoment99 sorry (went out) re the cord skirt . I bought the same size as I wear in Gabis, an 8. I am a good 10-12 in real life. Worth a try.

I have resisted the sale . Won’t promise to resist all weekend.

neveradullmoment99 · 09/09/2021 20:12

Think that is the dress?

StarShapedWindow · 09/09/2021 20:18

@neveradullmoment99. Thank you so much - such a useful link.

AmethystMoonShine · 09/09/2021 20:41

Just came on to say I’d had a sale email. Also ordered the green jumpsuit and the piha dress to try, both in 12. Sounds like the jumpsuit has been snug for some on the boobs and the shirt style dresses often have neat top halves. So hopefully 12 for each is okay.

Laska2Meryls · 09/09/2021 21:47

Oh I have ordered the Areca PJs after all ! decided that I would most likely wear the top after all..... FOMO....🙄🤦

AmethystMoonShine · 09/09/2021 22:18

I also like the bottoms of those PJs @Laska2Meryls. I wish the top was striped too!

ilovecherries · 10/09/2021 11:57

Found you all!

billydilly · 10/09/2021 12:28

Just bought the tiered poplin skirt I've been coveting at half price! Another new friend for Ruinous Coat!

TheChattyRat · 10/09/2021 13:16

I'm trying not to spend this month due to car insuranceSad so will admire your purchases instead. I like the green jumpsuit a lot and also the poplin shirt dress - still v expensive and terrible reviews though. instead
laksa I did think of you when I saw pihu skirt on sale. Know you've had your eye on that for a while.

faustina · 10/09/2021 17:06

ok I've sent the kin dresses back. The denim smock would not have come out of the wardrobe due to shortness. Has anyone tried on the Toast Denim Workwear dress? I am thinking it's going to be that or the swingy one

iguanadonna · 11/09/2021 07:09

Has anyone got or tried the sleeveless gathered dress? It has surprisingly good reviews. But without photos on a model, almost impossible to judge.

Stoic123 · 11/09/2021 08:05

@faustina

Long time lurker here. I have the denim workwear dress and love it. I'm 5'7" tall and probably wouldn't recommend for anyone much shorter.

I'm a size 14 normally- got the 12 which is still quite loose (but the look I wanted). It's flattering and a nice mid-weight material. So easy to just fling on and go.

ToastCosILoveIt · 11/09/2021 10:27

Welcome @Stoic123, good to get feedback on the dress. The website recommends a 12 for me but i am a 12 in real life so imagine I should be going for the 10.

faustina · 11/09/2021 12:12

@Stoic123 - thank you so much for the tip. I'm 5'4 but am going to try it on today all the same - along with the swingy one again - hoping to have a definite preference and not end up liking both (ruinous!)

Bakingtraypan · 11/09/2021 12:33

Toast has me broke this month - ordered 3 items and they are all too lovely to leave back - this never usually happens! I think I need therapy!😁

So the long awaited Harlequin dress has just arrived and I'm very sorry to say it will be going back. I just didn't like the fabric enough in real life and found that the green colour washed me out. Style wise it is slightly kaftan like but I would have worked with a Navy T-shirt under it I think. What a shame! I'll have to wait for the next release of dresses. ....,has anyone tried the Mila Bolete dress and if so would you say that the fabric colour was accurately represented on the website?

faustina · 11/09/2021 16:04

What a shame @MrsCat1

I just bought the denim shirt dress! This is an 8. I can return if I change my mind - going to try properly when I get home. Do you think it looks too big?

It looks lovely on you !
applecatchers36 · 11/09/2021 16:15

Looks lovely Faustina really suits you. As it is quite fitted on top doesn't matter that it's longer length.

That is totally fabulous on you. I had almost decided on the swing dress but having seen this, I’m dithering. Can’t have both.

Ive just been into a Toast shop and the first thing I did was feel the fabric of the Harlequin dress Grin I really didnt like it either and it is very thin. Sorry folks I ignored the sale as nothing on my list. I bought the pintuck skirt in a 12 and the Ine check nightie in medium. I also bought some black baby cord to make a M&M skirt which is very similar to my Toast one.
faustina · 11/09/2021 16:24

@ilovecherries - I tried the swingy one - they didn't gave my size but have tried my size before- and I didn't like it half as much. This one falls really nicely

faustina · 11/09/2021 16:27

@TempleofZoom - I saw the mila bolete dress and the colour was like it is online. Didn't try it on though

I think you meant @MrsCat1 Smile
I also saw the dress in JL.
Fabric is the same colours but it didnt really grab me .
Would be interested in seeing it if someone tries it on
