Hello! Hope it’s ok to join, am new here, was just having a little look to see if anyone had bought the Luna dress yet as I am also unsure on sizing. I have the Harlequin in a 10 and I love it. I’ve just ordered the Luna in a 12 as it says it’s more ‘regular’ in sizing. I shall let you know what the sizing is like when it turns up. Not sure when I will have the opportunity to wear either though as I dress much more casually these days. What sort of occasion would you wear the Harlequin?

@AnaViaSalamanca, welcome, I have wool gabis and have had to size down as I have with the cotton ones.

Hi @Snowyowl78
I’ve ordered the Luna too. In my head I am planning on dressing it down with a long sleeved black top underneath, black tights and stompy boots. I’ll report back too.

@Snowyowl78 I ordered the Luna dress yesterday, I went for the same size (12) as my harlequin dress. Re: where to wear it - I wore it to go for Sunday lunch yesterday with a pair of navy suede knee boots and a grey cashmere cardi - comfy and cosy. My uniform is dresses with boots tbh, it’s what I wear most of the time. Will let you know re: sizing once it arrives - hopefully soon!

@JustforToast oh me too although I might not be able to cope with something underneath as I’m normally too hot :) I did plan to wear around Xmas time but my OH’s family are super casual and I don’t want to look like I’ve tried too hard! I’m going to see what it’s like with trainer hightops as well. Fingers crossed the sizing works out.

@Saurus72 I’ve got the 10 in the Harlequin, tbh the 12 could have been better but was out of stock by the time I’d made a decision- too slow. Sounds fab for a Sunday outfit!

Hello! Long term lurker and Toast lover! I hope it’s ok to ask, but I was wondering if anyone had bought the Koyo brushed cotton pyjamas and what the sizing is like? I’m a non-Toast 12-14 on the bottom and don’t want to order too big as I want them as ‘smart’ pyjamas if there is such a thing!

@Snowyowl78 I know it seems to have suddenly sold out - I’ve been waiting for some reviews of it on the website and then there were suddenly some there. Pls keep us updated when it arrives

Hi
Long time lurker & toast lover. Does anyone know if toast do any Black Friday deals? I would love the green/yellow fair isle sweater. £185 is really steep though.
I've been looking but can't find any offers.
Thanks

Apart from their sales, sadly I can't recall any codes or Black Friday type promotions from Toast. They used to do a referral code, but I've not see one of those for a long time either.

Thanks@AmethystMoonShine I will just have to bite the bullet.

@Chickydoo - you could try holding on for the sale perhaps? I'm not sure when it's going to happen though

@Chickydoo yes @faustina has a good point…. I checked and can see I placed a sale order on 30 November last year.

Thanks @faustina and @AmethystMoonShine. Doubt whether the jumper will be in the sale, worth waiting though

If I remember correctly someone found a secret link last year that was for an archive sale that possibly wasnt due to start.
It wasnt current stuff .
I ordered the black/ biscuit checked dress on 1st Dec.

Oh for an archive sale !

@mizu

Oh for an archive sale !

Yes my dress was £48 so wincing at some of the current prices!

I was however given some money so despite the pintuck skirt being similar, I have ordered the prussian blue cotton poplin tuck dress as I keep looking at it.
Ive ordered a 10 based on the reviews.
One of the reviews describes a bustle effect at the back
I will be sure to carefully source a large rock to hold above my head when I try it on !

@TempleofZoom, a rock, I assumed that was a carefully placed, just baked fancy loaf of artisan bread?!

Ooh @TempleofZoom if you feel comfortable sharing a picture of you in that dress I’d be grateful, am thinking about it as a potential sale purchase!

The jumper was all packed ready to go back after the cancelled Austrian trip but it was freezing (literally) this morning, so…

Hello! Long term lurker and Toast lover! I hope it’s ok to ask, but I was wondering if anyone had bought the Koyo brushed cotton pyjamas and what the sizing is like? I’m a non-Toast 12-14 on the bottom and don’t want to order too big as I want them as ‘smart’ pyjamas if there is such a thing!

I haven’t tried the Koyo, but I did buy these ones linked below in a medium and they were massive so I sent them back. The Koyos look a lot neater so I’d stick with the medium maybe? www.toa.st/products/field-cotton-pyjama-trousers-prussian-blue

Im a RL 12 and have a bum, hips etc and I got the medium which are comfortably roomy @QsGal
Ive also ordered the matching robe as a Christmas present from DH

@Saurus72
Im not really comfortable with photos as had the misfortune to be stalked at one point so very careful about photos/ location etc
Happy to review though based on my body shape etc

Looking fab Cherries ..
Well i have had the misfortune to receive a rubbish pair of ebay Toast Gabis now.. ... described a 'great condition' and they are so worn and washed out that I wouldn't give them to a charity shop..Hoping ebay will see it my way and ill get a refund ..sigh...

Ah that’s rubbish @Laska2Meryls - I sell on eBay and I only ever sell things that are immaculate, or I make a really big point of highlighting the flaws. I made the mistake of buying (for the first time in years) a Toast dress from there this summer, old and quite shabby looking. My eBay buying days are definitely over, too high risk for me. I do need to gear myself up for some more selling tho!

@Saurus72- will try and upload a few photos of the Poplin Tuck dress for you.

I am a curvy (hips!) size 12 in RL- this is a Toast size 10.
