maybe buy an 8 and a 10 and just return the ones that don't fit? I certainly wouldn't recommend buying on Ebay or similar unless you're certain (and different colours are slightly different sizes annoyingly ). Which colour are you looking at?

ilovecherries · 21/01/2022 15:21

I buy my normal size 12 in gabis - that’s my high street size and 95% of the time that works for me in Toast.

In the last moments of the sale I bought the Tala dress as it suddenly appeared in a 12. It’s probably like that sad pink checked dress in JL and been tried on so much it will be a bit tired but it’s an itch I’ve been ignoring for couple of years. Anyway that will arrive tomorrow.

Today the tatersall check dress arrived which I think I’ll keep. We are planning to spend extended periods in the caravan this summer and I hate trekking to the laundry so that’s me well stocked with summer dresses now.

The other last minute buy was the poplin navy shirt dress. Not the ruffle one - the one where the model was balancing something on her head 🙄. Anyway, although it looks like an old fashioned grocer’s coat, I love it. It even rustles! So I’m wearing it on top of a pair of wide leg trousers from M&S and the Toast Sadie blouse. AND it has amazing pockets.

I received the ruffle shirt dress today and its lovely!

@ilovecherries I remember the picture of the lady balancing something on her head, but not the dress!
The ruffle neck one is poplin too. A bit of a pain to iron.
I have the tattershall dress too. Its lovely but more of a spring summer dress.I did put it on but felt it was too pale and too blue for winter.

neveradullmoment99 · 21/01/2022 15:44

..and yet it was part of their Autumn collection! Strange.

Countmeout · 21/01/2022 15:52

I size down in Gabis but I don’t have the cord ones.
My last gasp purchase was the Sadie shirt, I have a similar shape from another sale and knew I liked the shape. It’s an excellent fit and will go with a lot I already have.

Laska2Meryls · 21/01/2022 16:06

Here's the bold striped dress really pleased with it.
Also with the matching trousers bought in last summer sale
Dress XL trousers XS ( mad Toast sizing!) .
Id usually take a 12/14 or M in Toast dresses...and trousers 10 ( unless fixed waist )

Anyone know if they stock Toast in the Glasgow John Lewis?
Asking for a friend heading to Glasgow for the weekend.

Countmeout · 21/01/2022 16:23

I was curious if there was a list of John Lewis stores stocking Toast so I google it @ScottishMouse
Found this 😕

No Toast stock in Glasgow. Hasn't been for a few years now, sadly.
Theteapotsbrokenspout · 21/01/2022 16:30

That striped dress looks great @Laska2Meryls I especially like it with the trousers

That’s a shame about the JL stores, I guess they won’t be selling it online either Sad .

This is in store though. May not refer to online?

Oh no ☹️

Oh shit - that is bad news about JL - bum!

@Laska2Meryls - that dress really suits you!

Marmite71 · 21/01/2022 17:00

The Alix trousers arrived- as I suspected they are quite big but are they ridiculous? They’re v.comfortable

billydilly · 21/01/2022 17:30

I just tried on the new green checked blouse thingy with red at the top edge, it's absolutely gorgeous, light as a feather. £175! It's just cotton!

Thanks . I didn't post the most flattering photo there bending forward a bit so the dress looks a bit long over the trousers, but its not .. but you get the idea..

Its a scandalous price and really not justified. That is definitely one to wait for the sale. Its nice but not at that price. No way.
neveradullmoment99 · 21/01/2022 18:09

@Marmite71

I think you could size down. They don't look ridiculous so if they were a sale item, I would keep. They look very nice in the 2nd photo.
