Garments measurements alert! If you click on Size Chart ...

'I'm afraid to speak or move for fear all this wonderful beauty will vanish just like a broken silence'

Hi everyone
I check out this thread from time to time.
I am a fellow Toast fan although it is beginning to wane due to their sizing issues.
Anyway, in case anyone is interested if you watch BBC 1's Shetland series you can play a 'spot the Toast clothing' game! Always nice to see the clothes on 'real' people.

😹@Stravaig
@Alltheberries - you have reminded me to watch the new series!

So far I have only spotted tops and shirts - maybe they have an issue with trouser sizing like me lol!

Not noticed any Toast clothing before in Shetland so must be a new clothing wardrobe person. Only Toast for the women I think but perhaps I have got that wrong?

Yes! @Alltheberries Thought I was imagining it at first, but definitely some Toast pieces.

I thought maybe I was imagining it about Shetland @Alltheberries .
The blue scarf is this season’s isn’t it. I thought the cut of the trousers were possibly Toast. What about the boots?

There have been Toast pieces previously on Shetland, there was a Kala check shirt and a black/ecru stripe linen tunic dress that I can recall in the last series.

I also love playing spot Toast, I'm sure there's been more this series than previously.

Ah yes the trousers definitely have a Toast vibe, I would like to know about the boots too @Countmeout. I thought the shirts looked really good on Tosh and Amma. Maybe Cal wears an old Toast jumper that has been through the mill a bit ( actually a lot) ?
Ah @AmethystMoonShine I have not noticed Toast items before

The next weeks competition is up, I can’t seem to enter it!! Not sure if it’s just me

Actually I can enter now, phone malfunction!

Thanks @Snowyowl78

Pyjamas, velvet gown and velvet quilt for me. I can just imagine myself cocooned in loveliness…

Hi, can anyone who has been to the Toast market tell me if it’s ‘worth’ the trip? My sister wants to go.

Thanks

I think someone commented on it up thread @Dee1224 . (Was it @PretLea ) I am hoping to visit it next weekend as we like to do a different market each year. I am not sure if the makers rotate somehow, there’s been a few on Instagram I’d have liked to see but I am not sure if they are there all the time or just on some days.

I went to the Toast market last week. The makers change each week so I can’t comment on what’s it’s like now. However it was okay but not particularly worth a special trip in my opinion. That said coal drops yard where it is, is great.

Thanks @Countmeout and @AmethystMoonShine

Still hanging out patiently waiting for a sale though suspect it won't have much I'm interested in this time around.

The Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch collab was a disaster. I lost my basket, then couldn't get back on the website (1xjumper and 2x socks) but was lucky to get back on and get the green jumper. Chose an XS which strangely was one of the only sizes remaining. It's being delivered today so fingers crossed I picked the right size.

I did pick up a new fair isle in the Black Friday sale yesterday - a Disco Circus jumper in Orange Dreams by Howlin' (this year's Toast fair isle mohair jumpers are a bit dark for me). Hadn't come across this brand before but loved the sweater when I saw it in real life recently, so was very pleased to get 30% off. They also have some lovely funky scarves.

Now that we've seen all the official draw offerings, what would your fantasy three items be, from across the collection?

Mine are:
Blundstone Chelsea Boots in Olive,
Linen Silk Jacquard Dress in Lapis Green,
Flecky Wool Cashmere Sweater in Emerald.

Although, practicality suggests the Boiled Wool Trousers deserve a place, the Velvet Flares are tempting, and the Diamond Jacquard Scarf is so gorgeous I'd quite like two, to join together - inspired by @Laska2Meryls's lovely creation last year!

Swither swither ...

@Noeggsontoast - that Disco Circus jumper is beautiful - I'd never heard of the brand either - thank you!

@Stravaig - that jumper is a thing of beauty - it would be on my wishlist too. I hope you managed to use your discount code

Toast had better get a move on with its sale because I am running out of excuses valid reasons to buy anything else. My AH Uniqlo order just arrived and I really like both jumpers (green and navy) and the bags. the only thing I don't like is the dark brown metal mug and that was a free gift. The sizing is accurate on the photos I'd say. The small is nicely slouchy on me and the medium is a bit slouchier, but both look good

@Stravaig I would like all 3 of those items too - perhaps the dress in the olive colour though and I still love the grey graphic yolk jumper with all the lovely colours in the wool.

I’ll take these three. I’ve tried both dresses but I think I’ll hold out for the sale! I want the boots but sold out in a 37 sadly

@faustina Sadly, no! Hence stepping up the daydreaming and vicarious enjoyment :)

@mizu Grey's not my thing, but the mix of colours in that yarn is exquisite, true artistry at work.

@Snowyowl78 I admire your restraint/sale prep!

Hello - I was wondering if anyone could help with some guidance on the Toast Donegal jumpers and how itchy they are? I usually can’t buy toast but this season they have some colours I can wear and I’ve kind of fallen in love with the Donegal graphic and/or the Donegal easy sweater. However I’m quite sensitive to wool and wonder if they are itchy ( I know Donegal often is but non of the reviews seem to mention which is giving me hope ….)?

Toast keep emailing me to tell me that they have saved my basket consisting of a hand block printing set and 2 wool tencel tops! I have never had such a basket. Most strange.

@Snowyowl78 Ha! I've had those same items in my basket for months. Just updated it, let's see if your email changes. Maybe they're sending out old baskets at random?

I have this, not itchy but indeed glorious.
