Toastie summer '22 continued

New thead:)

@NoCureForLove - that is a lovely dress! How long would you say it was compared to last year's?

Also you say it's stiff-is h, but they say it's lightweight. Is it a thinner fabric to last year's?

@faustina Mid calf? I'm 5'5"...

I'll post a selfie tomorrow 😀

Thank you!

Please do. Can't wait to see!

What size did you order? Your normal Toast size? ( tempted)

@neveradullmoment99 - I like things loose and would get a 12 or 14 on high street depending on shop/style.

Normally a Toast 12 dress or a 10 if it's a particularly oversized style (like recent crinkle/Mila dresses). Ordered a 10 but not yet despatched.

My first Toast ebay purchase arrived today and is a success. A Zadie Bloom (green) dress that was recommended by someone on here (can't remember who- but thank you) during an archive sale.

I hesitated then and lost out so delighted that I got a second chance. Will be useful for work/lunch out etc.

Denim dress as promised - but a day late!

Looks great @NoCureForLove . Is it heavy?

No. Mid weight. Less heavy than other Toast denim dresses I have...

@NoCureForLove - that looks lovely! Nice good dark shade of blue! Thank you for sharing it. I might be visiting the Oxford store at the weekend - maybe I'll try it on

Well, I have capitulated! Having ordered and sent back several pairs of cheaper 'other brand' Jute Gabi lookalikes... I have bowed down to the inevitable and coughed up the Toast price...

<<Dalek Voice >> "Resistance is futile! "

Resistance certainly is futile, or at least constantlybeing challenged! I'm still holding out. My wardrobe is full. My wardrobe is full. My wardrobe is full damn it!

Today's offering is the olive oil shirt dress with black arizonas and a dark grey oversized top in case of odd weather.

Mine too! ( Except for the jute trouser hole, which will, of course, be the 'magical piece' which will tie it all together....🤣..
I have tried all others available....all went or aregoing back...Damn my Toast obsession!

Red linen trousers and navy boyfriend tee today here..

Resistance is futile - should be our thread motto 😁
Like the sound of both your outfits and the denim dress photo up thread.
I have worn toast today - my skirt with the palm print (can’t remember the name of it now) and a white top.
I’ve watched a few recent toast videos. Nothing jumped out in the newest one, apart from the dress the presenter was wearing but is prohibitively expensive. I do like the look of the denim skirt and may send for it - it did look v high up the waist on the model tho in which case it won’t suit me.
I enjoyed the toast circle video - I didn’t realise they offered a repairing service as well. Seems like a good idea.

I just did a quick Google, I didn't realise that came as a skirt too! I have the dress. I've just found out that I'm going to an upmarket restaurant this weekend and need to dress up. I don't really have "dress up" clothes so I'm considering the palm print dress.

I think that would work ‘dressed up’ - I really like the print.

Thanks for the confidence boost @TheChattyRat !

I am wearing the Elm Check Gathered Dress today. I snaffled a new one for £75 on EBay and it is perfect for this weather: cool and loose.

Following the styling video, I went in store last week and tried the Embroidered Cotton Kaftan Dress on. I would never have looked at it twice if I hadn't seen it on the presenter. It was fab but comes up huge: I fitted into the 8 and I am a high street 12 and usually a Toast 10. I haven't bought it but I am pondering...

I also tried on the tie neck fluid twill dress in green and although I love this style of dress usually, it didn't blow me away.

Re sizing down, I've been wearing my new dresses that are all one size down from my high street size, and i like the fit when standing, but i find them a little snugger when sitting. It's made me think about their oversized patterns and where the ease is in these dresses. I'm still happy with the fit of my dresses, but I'm beginning to see why they run big. I still wouldn't want my high street size, but when I've tried on I've tried a dress on the dresses 3 or 4 sizes down hoping fit a neater fit I've lost the ease.

Thought this sideline dress looked nice if anyone likes the dress in the Toast video it might be an option. No less spendy though.

Do we think there might be new things coming soon?
I noticed that a stockist in Dublin has a few things on their website that Toast aren’t showing yet. I like this scarf: scoutdublin.com/collections/clothing/products/toast-bold-check-cotton-wool-scarf-sand-cobalt
and this dress:scoutdublin.com/collections/clothing/products/toast-organic-needlecord-workwear-dress-cornflower-blue
Scout in Dublin is a fab shop, by the way. I always visit when I am there seeing family. It’s obviously not the place to shop for Toast from the UK, but if you happen to visit Dublin, check it out for other lovely stuff.

@Countmeout I have a previous version of that Sideline dress. I can certainly recommend it. Sideline have just launched their latest collection. It has some lovely things.
