Yes plum, and also not really my colour. I'll try it on though and see if I can change my mind. School uniform was plum so it's got dreary connotations for me! But I agree a lovely gift

Welcome back @IlovePond . I remember someone loved the napkins to use as neck chiefs etc but can’t remember who 😳. Doesn’t matter. Great to see you back.

Thrilled that the gift is a bandana. I think I will be able to use plum. It’ll go with navy. Mine is due Monday.

Thanks @Countmeout - my bandana is arriving today 🤞

Someone at Toast said a colleague tied the furoshiki cloths together to make a neckerchief. I tried it the other day and they looked nice together.

I built on my napkins as headwear use yesterday by tying two together to tie back my hair, (a bit like the model on the website with the blue scarf). It looked ok, so I am going to experiment further. I did think about sewing a few together, (but my sewing skills are not good).

One day I may actually use napkins as intended 😹

Ooh would love a pic of the bandana?
found this on Toast instagram if useful.

has anyone got the linen boy tees and how to you wash them? I have an old one and it’s become rather stiff and threadbare-ish. I have worn and washed it a thousand times though and not taken particularly good care of washing it. Have bought a new one and would like to try and be a bit more careful! Delicate wash in a bag?

Mine has arrived- I love it. I almost bought the yellow version so am pleased to try this out.

Here’s a pic @Snowyowl78

I’ve hidden it in case anyone doesn’t want the surprise spoiled.

IlovePond · 27/07/2024 12:35

Thanks for the insta link @Snowyowl78 I will have a go later.

Snowyowl78 · 27/07/2024 12:39

Thank you @IlovePond i must have it!

OftenOrange · 27/07/2024 13:14

@IlovePond Wow , what a generous gift ! I ordered a pair of the Falke trainer socks because they should go through the letterbox and am keeping fingers crossed that the gift would be included ( it is) and that it won’t arrive in a box.
The Bordeaux colour used to be a go to colour for me before Toast , I don’t remember seeing much of it in Toast before, so maybe it will appear in the Winter collection.

AmethystMoonShine · 27/07/2024 13:18

Oh the bandana is the same as the blue version I bought when they first came out. I’m looking forward to seeing if the colour works for me. I’ve ordered more of the Japanese socks I love, in black this time as I’ll wear them loads and was planning to buy them if they didn’t go into the sale anyway.

Stoic123 · 27/07/2024 13:29

Thanks @IlovePond

I also have the blue one. Touch and go whether that colour will suit me but I'm sure I'll be able to find a good home for it if it doesn't suit.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 27/07/2024 13:54

I've ordered the Cobalt Check Crinkle dress and the kindred gift is on its way. I was going to wait until next month to order, but, as my kindred runs out on the 31st of this month, with no guarantee it will be renewed, I thought I had better order now.
Also wasn’t sure about the sizing, I was recommended the 12, my normal size, but the reviews said to size down. I think @ScottishMouse tried this dress but can’t remember what was said about the sizing, only that it is quite thin and see through.

ScottishMouse · 27/07/2024 14:20

@Theteapotsbrokenspout i sized down. I originally ordered a 12, which would be my usual size in new Toast sizing, but it seemed quite big, so I tried a 10 in store and swapped it. It still has plenty of room on the bust and arms which is usually the problem for me.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 27/07/2024 14:28

Thanks @ScottishMouse I’ve ordered the 10, hopefully that will be right size then. I’m finding all this sizing variation and keep sending things back to swap for a different size a bit tiresome.

LuciaRising · 27/07/2024 15:42

Having a terrible time with orders Sad
Ordered a set and half wasn't in the package
However weight of package is marked way over what it actually weighs by 500g

Toast going to contact me next week

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 27/07/2024 15:56

@LuciaRising how disappointing and annoying, I hope toast can sort it out. Do you think it went missing in transit? Or is it toast themselves who made the error?

I can't see any evidence the package was opened prior to delivery but its those sticky paper bags not sealed with tape.
Not sure if the weigh corresponds to the bag size or is the actual weight?
Thanks for replying

Poplinskirt · 27/07/2024 16:06

Oh crap forgot to name change!
Oh well yes I've had one order with a torn shirt and now missing pjs

IlovePond · 27/07/2024 16:25

It’s shocking, @Poplinskirt - I ordered loads in the sale but had to return lots as the sizing or fit were weird. I am constantly worried that refunds won’t be done properly as I have had loads of problems in the past. I hope it gets sorted out soon!

IlovePond · 27/07/2024 16:28

The sun is out for once, so I have finally got around to wearing my bargain £20 dress from the April sample sale. (Thought I had better be quick before it goes in again!)

Poplinskirt · 27/07/2024 16:40

Thanks @ilovePond

I have a huge amount of personal stress right now and this was a cheer me up order.
It's done the exact opposite!

IlovePond · 27/07/2024 16:50

I really hope it gets sorted @Poplinskirt - I do think Toast need to look at how orders/returns are processed because it’s not just the occasional error. Sending you best wishes 💐

AFingerofFudge · 27/07/2024 21:15

Sympathy to you @Poplinskirt. As you might remember at the start of this sale, the first (very large) order I returned, Toast only refunded the first item! Thankfully I noticed quickly but it was still a stress until the rest of the money was refunded!

Countmeout · 28/07/2024 07:28

I hope it’s sorted quickly @Poplinskirt . That is a big discrepancy in weight. It’s a stress you don’t need.

OP posts:
Poplinskirt · 28/07/2024 08:45

Thanks so much Toasties
First world problems but absolutely not needed right now.
The weight thing is very odd, the discrepancy is 514 g
I've weighed 2 pairs of my other linen toast pj bottoms and they come to 368g so not sure how 1 pair of very thin ones could be half a kg !!
Will report back
